Gig review: URIAH HEEP – London Palladium, 5 October 2022
I wonder what the famous critic of their first album who threatened to commit suicide if they made it would think of Uriah Heep celebrating 50 years. Through that time the band, and sole remaining original member Mick Box in … Continue reading

Gig review: URIAH HEEP – Old Market, Brighton, 8 May 2015
An incredible 45 years after their debut album, Uriah Heep could be gently coasting towards retirement, but on this evidence the band who on their debut professed to be ‘very ‘eavy and very humble’ are rocking harder than ever. This … Continue reading
