URIAH HEEP PHOTOS
First publicity shot, Autumn '79. Back when a cigarette could be enjoyed in an indoor setting.
Goaldiggers charity football match Autumn '79, Wembley Arena.
This was the first public appearance I ever made with the band. We were recording Conquest at the time. But we took a Sunday off to play in this 5-a-side tournament. Each team was allowed one professional player. We had ex-QPR player Stan Bowles. Another team had George Best playing for them. We played against a team that included Bobby Charlton. Having spent weeks in the studio, we weren't exactly match fit. After about 2 minutes of the first game I was already struggling. I was only 22 - bent over double with cramp. Charlton comes running past me like a two year-old and tosses me an aside, "it's hard isn't it lad". To this day I wish I'd had the breath to answer him.
February '80. First British tour. Mick casting a spell.
Same gig. Mick lost in the fog.
More of the same. Ken's playing his Les Paul. Must be "Feelings".
Munich, Spring '80. Trevor and me watching one of the crew (Bob Dollins) at work.
Munich, later same day. Much later methinks.
European tour. Vocalist tries out the tricky "foot on monitor" move which was all the rage at the time.
My brother Phil practising his guitar shapes on my guitar.
Promo shot for last British tour. Late '80. Somewhere in Camden. I'm wearing a tramp's scarf and Trevor looks like he doesn't know whether he's a mod or a rocker.
Another one from the same promo session around Camden Lock. It was bloody freezing. The cigarette's only there to keep me warm.
Close-up on that glorious scarf.
