Hi folks,

Well the 40th Anniversary Celebration tour of Europe is just over half way through, and thus far it has been fantastic.
There have been plenty of sell outs, and there is a real buzz about the band at the moment that feels really good. The set list has now bedded down, and has been getting a fantastic response, and we feel we are just getting into our stride. The first two shows of the Concert Live Official Bootleg CD’s have gone down very well, and we seem to be autographing an awful lot of them, so that is a good sign.
The Celebration CD & CD/DVD have had excellent reviews along with the live shows, so I can report it is a very happy Heep camp at the moment. We have just finished a run of 6 consecutive shows, in 5 consecutive cities, which has been quite gruelling for the band and crew, so it is nice to have a night off tonight to recharge our batteries for the next run of shows. I am writing this in our hotel in Aschaffenburg.
Next year is filling up already with confirmed shows in Greece, Russia, South Africa, Germany, Finland and Poland to name but a few, so it looks like a busy 2010.
A big thanks to all of you that have come to the shows thus far, and we hope to see as many fans as we possibly can over the coming months ahead.
‘Appy Days!

More details on that Celebration CD / DVD here - Only available on import in the USA right now I believe:
To celebrate their 40th band-anniversary Uriah Heep decided to look back to their past without melancholy or nostalgia. Uriah Heep looks at the future proud and happy about their 40 years of joyful relationship with their audience. That s how the title Celebration came about. Heep history has been an extraordinary journey and it was time that their greatest classics were recorded in studio by the line up playing them live to fans all over the world for more than 20 years. The band re-recorded twelve of their most successful songs: classics like Free Me, Gypsy, The Wizard, Easy Living and of course their all-time smash-hit Lady In
Black .
In addition to that they have composed and recorded two completely new songs as a special gift to their fans.
Only Human and Corridors of Madness are two of their best tracks in years! Ear Music. 2009.
