- Both Mick Box's and Trevor Bolder's birthdays (respectively June 8th and 9th) are approaching!  To commemorate that we have set a special guestbook up here: http://uriah-heep.com/newa/birthdays07/ , so you can send your wishes.  This is a special SECRET guestbook and Mick and Trevor will be informed about it only on the weekend!  So hurry up and leave your messages there!  Mick and Trevor are NOT receiving this edition of e-heep so they won't know about it for the time being.

- Check on the following link a video taken from the German TV channel ?tvo? (TV-Oberfranken) showing Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann's Earth Band live in Bayreuth, Germany on May 17th: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-uwOFnnuLY .  Included is a short excerpt of The Heep performing "So Tired", a good chance to check newcomer Russell Gilbrook piloting the drumkit!  Thanks to Richard Wagner (not the classic composer but the blues rock bassist and beer drinker!) for the info.  The very same video can be seen on the TV's website in better quality: http://www.tv-oberfranken.de/default.aspx?ID=1059&showNews=81954&newVideo=20070514_Maisel_Fest_Bayreuth.wmv (thanks to Renate Fischer of SOT).

- Photos from the Uriah Heep "melting the ice down" gig in Iceland on May 27th here: http://www.uriah-heep.com/newa/icelandalbum/uriah%20heep%20in%20iceland%202007/album/ and here: http://uriah-heep.com/newa/iceland2007/ .  And some short videoclips from the same gig here: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=uriahhe&p=r .

- If anyone missed them, there are also some videoclips from the gig in Bayreuth, Germany on May 12th here: http://www.uriah-heep.com/newa/maisel2007.php .  In case you're wondering why all these videos were made from the back of the stage... that's because they're courtesy of Peter Weber, the handy drum technician and amateur video maker!

- Following this link, text and photos from the interview published on the Dutch magazine "Veronica" in 1973, during the "Sweet Freedom" recordings: http://www.rentrock.nl/fotoboek/pic0.htm (English and Dutch available).

- A very cool videoclip showing David Byron & Rough Diamond performing "Sea Song" can be seen here: http://www.uriahheep.web-log.nl .

- Here's an update on Lee Kerslake by Mick Box: "Lee is fine and in good spirits and chipping away at putting things right. He is taking care of everything he needs to with the doctors but as everyone knows with these things it takes forever just to get back a simple result from the tests he is having. He is by far doing the best thing he can with concentrating in his health issues because as we all know, without that we have nothing. We talk to each other often and have a good laugh, as after all, we are mates first and that is foremost
above everything.  Cheers, Mick".  Lee Kerslake's guestbook is now relocated at http://www.moreheep.com .
