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 :)… Continue

Heepster for all time

Well, I was into Heep for quite a while, when I went to that certain John Lawton gig in Winterbach back in 2000. But I had no idea about Heepsters on the web and absolutly no idea about the Heep family live and in life.

Anyway, the very special trip to Dover the next day brought me in, and, as John said, I will never go out.

I met a lot of really nice people in the name of Heep since then, online and offline, and I always enjoyed the warmth and the fun with all those very special… Continue

Hola.. from John Lawton

Hi everybody……

A few days have gone by now since HV08 and we are still here in Spain……

I have to say, that Heepvention went further than any expectations I had, when Alan and I first

plotted the event, over a year and a half ago, it was just fantastic…..

To stand on that stage and be able to relate to most people by their first name is a very

humbling experience….

To everyone who took part in the jam sessions…..absolutely wonderful, it just shows how… Continue
