Hi Heepsters!

"Uriah Heep would like to wish everybody a fantastic New Year! As always we thank you so
much for the support you have given us over the year 2007 and we are looking for 2008 to be a
very exciting year with the release of the 'Wake the Sleeper' CD. It was brilliant to put a few
of these songs in the live set and get a really positive response each night and we have so much
to build upon so it is onwards and upwards.
'Appy days!
Mick Box"
