- Press Announcement -
Due to unforeseen circumstances Manfred Mann will not be appearing on the 2004 UK tour with Uriah Heep. The replacement support band is White Noise the new project fronted by former Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow front man Doogie White and featuring Bryan Josh on guitar. Keeping up the Rainbow connection the White Noise project features members of Mostly Autumn including Ian Jennings, Liam Davison and of course Blackmore prot??Josh. Since first being offered the support slot with Blackmore's Night Bryan has toured extensively and jammed on stage with Blackmore watching and learning from the master. The White Noise project performs a white hot selection of Purple and Rainbow classics from Doogie's tenure with Rainbow which saw the creation of the brilliant "Stranger In Us All" album. With musicianship of this calibre the band are also more than capable of performing classics such as "Tarot Woman" which has never been performed live. So you can look forward to a dynamite selection of Purple and Rainbow classics with a few surprises for good measure?
