Heepventions




Meeting other Heep fans.  I think we all had the same reaction, "you mean
someone besides me remember them or care".  Well it happens and the
best fan base known in rock n' roll support the efforts of Uriah Heep, the
associated artist and each other.  Join in if you get a chance to attend one.


Please note that this section in no way down plays the importance of
meetings such as the Stay On Top club in Germany, Circle of Hands
in Japan, or the Gathering of Friends in England.

 


Pittsburgh, PA / May 17, 1997
The first meeting of Heepsters, a small
group but this meeting led to many
larger such events.


St. Louis, MO / October 10-11, 1997
The first official Heepvention, complete
with jam band, fellowship and many
lasting memories.


Cleveland, Ohio / May 25, 1998
The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame was a stop
during the onslaught of Heepsters.  Another
complete master meeting.



July Mornings, 1999
A week long event capped off by an official
jam night on Saturday.  Featured guest
appearance by John & Iris Lawton.  The
Heepster Jam Band took a major stride with
the addition of John's vocals for the evening.






London England / May 6 - 7, 2000

The events kept getting bigger, this one topped
the previous one with the first ever performance
of the Hensley / Lawton Band.

Due to the USA Uriah Heep Tour in the
summer of 2001, no official Heepvention
was scheduled.  Instead fans made up 
Mini-Heepventions at concerts in various 
spots around the country. 
 

Then the Magician's Birthday Party.
