Staf Pypen Remembering Herluf Hermansen

I remember this nice young man, who came up to me in Spain, talking to me about our mutual interest in drumming. He loved my style and I loved his style. He comes to my mind every now and then. It was the first time he and I met, but we had a bond. I admired him for his strenght to keep on fighting and keep on making music, that's what a good musician does. Herluf, you rock my friend.

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

Tony Bryson 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
