Ken Hensley and  John Wetton played together in Uriah Heep between 1975 and 1976, and during this time the band released 2 albums, Return To Fantasy and High And Mighty, and toured extensively.

Ken and John got together again in 2001, but only for a one-off event: An Evening With Ken Hensley & John Wetton, that happened on December 8th 2001 at The Forum in London, UK.  Presenting songs from their own solo careers, and of course some Uriah Heep classics, this unique concert was recorded for a CD/DVD release, called "More Than Conquerors".  The opening act was Mostly Autumn, one of the best new British progressive rock bands!
