Uriah Heep: We hope the first concert in Armenia will be a great success, making us come here every year

PanARMENIAN.Net - "When we visited Armenian Genocide Museum History yesterday, we had contradictory feelings - pain and amazement. Seeing what was displayed there we couldn't but feel sorrow, but we were also amazed that school children visiting there recognized us, and asked for being photographed," said the musicians of legendary British Uriah Heep rock group.



On October 16, the group will give concert in Yerevan Sports and Concert Complex after Karen Demirchyan. The concert, organized within the frames of the legendary group's concert tour on the occasion of its 40th anniversary, is dedicated to the 15th anniversary of Armenian "Shant" TV Channel.



The sums collected from ticket sale (AMD 10.000-50.000) will be spent on the reconstruction of housing facilities in disaster zone. Honarary payments will be made by concert organizers, i.e. "Vibrographus", "Arzni" mineral water factory and Shant TV channel.



Group musicians - Mick Box, Trevor Bolder, Bernie Shaw, Phil Lanzon, Russell Gilbrook - expressed hope that concerts in Yerevan will be a success.



"Here in Armenia, we felt great warmth and love for our creative art, for which we should be probably thankful to pirate CDs. We hope the first concert in Armenia will be a great success, making us come here every year," Mick Box said.



Concert program includes songs from the group's latest album, as well as popular works created in different periods.
