DEIGGJ Band

Herluf Hermansen from the Deiggj Band has passed away

It is a sad news to tell that our great drummer Herluf Hermansen died on Sunday the 5´th of April in the evening at 6 pm on a Hospital In Torshavn!

He has been bravely fighting against cancer for almost 2 years.

One of his biggest wishes was to meet John Lawton again because he got sick just 10 days before our first gig with John Lawton at the Jóansøkufestival in Faroe Islands in June 2007. He did everything to come with us to Granada – and he was really looking forward to meet the ex Heep mem… Continue

Started the Studio Build

Well we started the framing and build of the Tracking and Control rooms along with the much needed Bathroom (hate those stairs when nature calls). The lounge area bar is still under consideration adn how to make the look be what we want.

We have 8 signed guitars from bands I have to display cases on the walls, but am missing the two signed memorbilia I most dearly want. Uriah Heep being the highest on the list and Deep Purple next. It seems that Uriah Heep signed Guitars are not a reality. We h… Continue

Heepy new year to you all

Me and Marianne wishes you all a Happy Heepy new year. I looks like there are several attempts to organize a new Heepvention in 2009 and as far as I know, USA, Finland, Bulgaria and Faroe Islands are all contenders. Well, wherever it is, I`ll try to come.
Best regards from Heepaholic

Heepvention 2008 - CIRCLE OF HANDS

…now I was looking forward to the highlight of this first day of the event, the performance of CIRCLE OF HANDS. It started atmospherically with a surprising instrumental part of Live 73. They played an extract of the legendary Gypsy-live-version of those days. And, if that wasn’t enough: COH called this intro “Alhambra” to make the title fit to the place of the performance, Granada.

After the intro CIRCLE OF HANDS changed smoothly and sur… Continue

HV08 Video links

Hi All,
Just wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful event planned and executed. I had a great time and this will live on in my memories. For those of you who didn't make it, and didn't get my email, I would like to post the links to some of the video's I captured during HV08. They do take a long time to download but hopefully it will be well worth it. It was nice seeing everyone again and meeting new poeple. I would have like to get to know more but there's always a next time right :) I don'… Continue

Thanks To All Concerned

I've basically joined this wonderful site so I could write this message.

Hopefully I speak for the many Heepsters around the World who didn't make this fantastic event. I just want to thank all concerned for HV 08, this site and the whole excitement created around this event.

First of all I'd like to thank John and Alan for organising such a fantastic event. I know it's not just John and Alan so massive thanks to all who helped organise this event. You guys pulled it off big style.

I have liv… Continue
