A message from Ken Hensley thanking for the birthday greetings he received.  Happy 60s Ken!

"To all my friends and fans everywhere!!
I was completely overwhelmed by all the messages you sent for my birthday this year and I wanted to thank you in the only way I can.
Your words are so kind and so encouraging and the only frustrating thing is that I can´t answer each message personally!!
So just know that I am very grateful to each and every one of you!
I have a busy year ahead, shows in Europe, Scandinavia and South Africa, my solo Anthology will be ready in a week or two and I am recording a live DVD in Oslo in December as well as writing for a CD of new songs etc... etc... so, before you know it, I´ll be reading your messages for my next birthday!!
Please keep in touch, it´s always good to hear from you and I´ll try to keep the music flowing so we can continue the journey together.
God bless,
Ken
<><"

A brand new interview with Ken Hensley, talking about his career after Heep and current and future plans, can be found on the new issue (#228, July 2005) of the Brazilian Rock Brigade magazine (http://www.rockbrigade.com.br).  Also available on this issue is a review (8 out of 10) on The Wizard's Diary, Ken's latest CD.

Photos from the 2005 sHeep Market - Dutch Heep Convention (featuring Ken Hensley) can be found here: http://www.classicrockphotos.nl/classic-27/page6.html and http://www.soni76.de/circle-of-hands-18.06.05.html.  Reviews about the whole event are here: http://www.moreheep.com/sheep2005/2005review.htm and http://www.rena.onlinehome.de/SOT/sheepmarket2005.html .

First pics of Ken Hensley's performance at the sHeep Market - Uriah Heep Dutch Fan Convention, can be seen here!

The Summer Sale now also includes a very special price for Ken Hensley Russian Posters, check it out here!

A bit of trivia!  A stamp with Ken Hensley's Eager To Please album cover was released in Joensuu, Finland, on April 22nd 2005!  The person behind this is Heikki Kyllästinen.  Nowadays in Finland it is possible to get official stamps from your own photos.  Those stamps can be used only in Finland of course.  As Heikki adds: "'Eager To Please' was released in 1975 so this could be called a '30th Anniversary Stamp', right?  There are at the moment only about 200 stamps mainly for Ken's personal use, so unfortunately it is not possible to send them to all Ken Hensley / Uriah Heep fans".  But in any way if you have a colour printer you can print the stamps from the following page: https://puoti.pmk.posti.fi/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/yp2.d2w/yleis?pic=ok795745290541113995072 .  Hurry as this link will be deleted one of these days!

For all of you artists out there, professional or not, can you come up with a cover idea for Ken's new solo anthology, entitled Cold Autumn Sunday?

Use your imagination, use someone elses's imagination but see what you can come up with and if you win you will of course be credited on the CD booklet and you will also receive a framed copy, signed and numbered by Ken. Maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't but the CD will have two new songs on it too!

Please send any artworks to coverart@ken-hensley.com .

Ken Hensley's words about the recent passing of Jakson Spires, his ex-colleague and drummer of Blackfoot:

"I was very sorry to hear about Jakson´s passing. He was a great guy, a very good drummer and an excellent team player. He lived hard, played hard and loved hard. A full life crammed into too few years.
Ken

A new interview with Ken Hensley is available at Dmitry Epstein's website.  He also updated his discography reviews.

New live dates in Spain and in Norway added to the Tourdates page!

Ken Hensley played at the Heroes of World Rock festival in St. Petersburg last week, and it was great: 10,000 people showed up and they roared their way through the night.  Thin Lizzy didn't make it, reportedly through illness but Kingdom Come filled in so the audience had a lot to see and hear.  The grand finale was when they all jammed on "Smoke On The Water".  The only sad thing was they had already packed the Hammond so Ken played acoustic slide!!  Ken says: "Personally I enjoyed it a lot and it was good to spend time with Ian Gillan and with Andy Scott from Sweet.  Ian and I shared a local band called DDT who have actually been one of the biggest bands in Russia for more than 25 years.  They did a great job and I am grateful to them.  Of course there was the usual television, radio and press to do but the main press conference was more fun than usual because I shared the table with Ian and with Lenny from Kingdom Come!!  Hope I get the chance to do more shows like this....it really was fun!".

The Wizard's Diary CD will be released by Nippon Crown in Japan on the 25th of February. Also, a separate special DVD (expanded and containing footage not available anywhere else) will be released there in April and will be a product exclusive to the Japanese market!
