He may have a new brand new "mixtape" on the horizon, but in being granted a rare audience with David Coverdale, there is clearly much to discuss. Celebrating almost five decades as a professional recording artist, the head 'Snake has worked with some of the finest musicians of a generation; from Ritchie Blackmore to Jimmy Page; Steve Vai to John Sykes.

As an integral part of the original incarnation of Uriah Heep, Ken Hensley's role in the band can not be overstated. As well as being co-responsible for their instantly identifiable sound, the multi-instrumentalist wrote most of the band's biggest tracks, from the immortal 'The Wizard' to the soaring 'Return to Fantasy', and the incomparable ''July Morning'. Celebrating the release of Uriah Heep's career spanning '50 Years in Rock' 23 CD box set, we sat down with Ken for a chat about Heep's rise and fall, and working with Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P. Wonderworld; Eamon O’Neill.
Singer, multi-instrumentalist, and icon of the 1980s, Nik Kershaw has left an indelible mark on music culture. As the writer of some of the most recognisable songs in pop, his melodies can be heard on such classics as the irresistible 'Wouldn't it be Good', 'The Riddle', and with Chesney Hawkes, 'The One and Only'. Having just released perhaps his most personal album to date, Nik is back after an eight year absence. Talking the introspective 'Oxymoron', we sat down for a chat with Nik about the set, guitar technique, and the gems that lie beneath the dust in his garage. From Cloudy Bay to Malubu; Eamon O'Neill.
His Difficult Split with Fear Factory, And How He's Been Reborn: We Chat to Burton C. Bell.12/10/2020 It's been a turbulent few years for Burton C. Bell. With prolonged legalities preventing any activity from Fear Factory, the singer finally exited the group in October 2020 to concentrate fully on Ascension of the Watchers; a project he describes as ‘’soul without the machine’’. Teaming up with John Bechdel (keyboards) and Jayce Lewis (drums, backing vocals, programming), it's his most emotional journey yet. "Every song is deeply personal", he tells us as we sit down to chat. We caught up with Burt to talk his exit from FF, working with Geezer Butler, and the new album. Key to the cosmos; Eamon O'Neill.
