Uriah Heep

- Uriah Heep is preparing the new songs for their upcoming 2003 studio CD!
Yeah, the first since 1998. We heard through the grapevine that 12 songs
are ready now. Recordings should take place in May!

- Well here we go again! Heepvention 2003 is being planned for October
11th, 2003, in Anaheim, California, USA. Yes, the land of Mickey Mouse is
now the land of Mick Box too (terrible joke, we know!). We want to get an
idea of how many people are interested in coming. A strong committee is
formed this time and they have had two major meetings so far, planning the
strategy and narrowing the venue down to one really nice location right
across from Disneyland. As they get input from prospective attendees, then
they can go to the hotel and start talking numbers with them. All those
interested in attending, please e-mail Dale Fredericks at
dalhel@earthlink.net , so he can start compiling the list.
