Uriah Heep playing Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall

Ageing rockers Uriah Heep are set to perform in Wolverhampton next week. The group, which hails from London, is set to rock the stage of the Wulfrun Hall on Thursday (December 1, 2011).

In their 70s heyday this big, loud and brash progressive heavy metal band became one of the UK's most popular exports. Since the debut Very 'eavy, Very 'umble was released in 1970, almost 30 musicians have worked with this constantly touring band.

Twelve of the band's albums have made it to the UK albums chart. Demons and Wizards was the most successful, reaching number 23 in 1972.

After 40 years in the industry, the band maintains a significant following and performs at arena-sized venues in Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia and Scandinavia. They have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.

Tickets for Thursday are £20 and doors open at 7pm. Visit www.wolvescivic.co.uk
