Composer, keyboardist, arranger & performer Alan Hawkshaw had what we would call a prolific career as a music artist on the sixties, seventies and eighties on the most diverse funtions.
Despite his 'Souler' reputation for being a member of a band behind the classic "The Champ", Alan also made a career working on themes for movies and television programmes and was part of many bands (from Rock & Roll band Emile Ford And The Checkmates in the sixties to The Shadows in the seventies); he also work for other well-known artists (Olivia Newton-John, Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg) using his talent as pianist, arranger and musical director.
In the USA, as part of the project Love De-Luxe in 1979 (on Hawkshaw's Discophonia), one of his productions reached a first ranking on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts - the single "Here Comes That Sound Again".

Alan was a key member on the legendary Soul-Funk project The Mohawks (the one behind the timeless classic "The Champ", largely sampled by Breakbeat-based genres such as Hip Hop, R&B and Jungle-Drum n'Bass since the eighties. This magic moment of his artistic journey under the band named The Mohawks would take place on the end sixties; The Mohawks would never do any official tour or major performances, but their ground breaking relase "The Champ" would stand the test of time as a Breakbeat standard for an incredible amount of music since then. The number of samples generated and the re-releases from that all-time classic "The Champ" is something Alan would never imagine himself at that time, not even on his wildest dreams.
