Niall Hone (born 24 June 1970) is an English musician, best known as member of the UK space rock band Hawkwind since 2008. Hone has also been heavily involved in electronic dance music since the early 1990s.

Music career

Early in his career, Hone played bass guitar in several notable groups, including Mandragora, Captain Sensible's band. He also played lead guitar in Tribe of Cro.

In 2008 Hone joined Hawkwind following the death of keyboardist Jason Stuart, first performing with the band on their December 2008 UK tour. On this tour, he was primarily played second guitar, whilst additionally playing synthesizers and bass. Since May 2011, he has been the band's bassist and live electronic manipulator (using Ableton Live) with former bassist Mr Dibs now assuming the role of lead vocals and occasional cello and second bass. Hone is also a noted user of Music Man StingRay and Fender Precision bass guitars.

A slimmed down offshoot of the group featuring Hone on bass, Dave Brock on guitar and Richard Chadwick on drums, released a separate album, Stellar Variations (2012) under the moniker Hawkwind Light Orchestra.
