- Ken Hensley played at the "Heroes of World Rock" festival in St. Petersburg last week, and it was great: 10,000 people showed up and they roared their way through the night. Thin Lizzy didn't make it, reportedly through illness but Kingdom Come filled in so the audience had a lot to see and hear. The grand finale was when they all jammed on "Smoke On The Water". The only sad thing was they had already packed the Hammond so Ken played acoustic slide!! Ken says: "Personally I enjoyed it a lot and it was good to spend time with Ian Gillan and with Andy Scott from Sweet. Ian and I shared a local band called DDT who have actually been one of the biggest bands in Russia for more than 25 years. They did a great job and I am grateful to them. Of course there was the usual television, radio and press to do but the main press conference was more fun than usual because I shared the table with Ian and with Lenny from Kingdom Come!! Hope I get the chance to do more shows like this....it really was fun!".

- Ken Hensley's new "The Wizard's Diary" CD and CD/DVD digipack are now being shipped! If you haven't placed your orders yet, just go to http://www.ken-hensley.com and do so. The "Free Me" maxi single CD is now sold out.
