Legendary British Rock Band Uriah Heep will be
performing one of the most unusual shows of
their illustrious career next week when they
play a free gig for the inmates of Rottenburg
prison in Germany.
Housed in a former castle, the prison will also
act as the location for the German launch of
Uriah Heep's first new album for ten years "Wake
The Sleeper".
The concert is being funded by the local city
administration said the prison's director
Wolfgang Willard last Wednesday in Rottenburg
(District of Tübingen).
The band will play for 1 hour in front of about
500 prisoners, and actually had declined to
receive a concert fee.
Uriah Heep have been successful since the
beginning of the 70s, with hits like "Lady in
Black" and more.
"Considering the number of prisoners attending
this gig, this can be considered a first", said
Willard, who also emphasized the important
meaning of such an event for them.
