[Heeplist] HEEPVENTION 2015

[Tony Bryson]

If I had been able to come it would have had most likely been REQUIRED  to be a family affair:

My Oldest Son, 27 yrs old,  is a Heep fan, went to two separate concerts with me. Bernie saw him singing along in the 2nd row with all the songs and laughed and pointed to him and made a comment about the younger generation. Some of you were there
My Second son, 25 yrs old, is a Heep fan, went to two separate concerts  with us, along with my wife, who had never heard of Heep before she married me 31 years ago
My wife flew with the 2 older boys and I just to see Heep, origionally just to be with us  and became fan
My 3rd son, 21 yr old son , is a Heep fan and went to a Heep concert with my 19 yr old and the entire family
My 19 yr old son, who has learning disabilities,  sings along with Heep whenever it is played the best he can and probably loves their music as much as anyone.
My oldest, Kyle is working in the Studio with a lot of younger musicians  tells and share a lot of Uriah Heep with them. (The Studio is dotted with a lot of Heep pictures (Thanks to Esa)  a few things we got signed, and some Esa had signed for us.)

None of my sons are on the list since they use social media, like FB, all the time, so not sure how the list fares with all this, but I can say I am doing my part to pass on the legacy of the music I love and so are my 4 sons, just maybe not in the way we are or have..

PS And in my Office hangs a picture of Ken Hensley that Esa took playing a Roland with the keys reflected in his glasses that drives a lot of conversations about him and  them.
