[Heeplist] Fwd: Adam Wakeman

[Tapio Minkkinen]

Hi Bob

Russell had a gig here, not Heep. Russell played at a hard rock & metal 
convention together with current vocalist & bass player of Sweet and 
some Finnish musicians. They played some Sweet songs and Look At 
Yourself & Stealin' from Heep.

We were talking about the 2024 tour that starts in three weeks. There 
have been no Heep gigs so far this year and no Chaos & Colour songs have 
yet been played live. Russell didn't mention which songs will be played 
and I didn't ask.
