Uriah Heep Magician's Birthday Weekend
Uriah Heep – Shepherd’s Bush 7 Dec 2001 Shepherd’s’ Bush Empire was the lovely setting for Ken Hensley’s return appearance with Uriah Heep. This billed as his big goodbye to the fans.

Mostly Autumn – DVD Premier – 20th September 2001
I had been looking forward to getting to see this DVD. I had not paid the attention to everyone I wanted at the actual recording and my interest in Mostly Autumn had changed dramatically since I first saw them live. The DVD was the first time I had had opportunity to see the band live […]
