on Friday 28th May 2010, ICC Durban Arena on Sunday 30th May 2010 and

DEEP PURPLE
Considered as one of the pioneers of heavy metal and hard rock. Deep
Purple were listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s loudest
band and ranked as number 22 on VH1s Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. They
incorporate many sounds into their rock music including classical, blues
and pop. Deep Purple is still one of the hardest touring bands in the
world and has continued to tour around the world since 1968. They’re
most famous for their haunting hit – Smoke On The Water.
URIAH HEEP AND WISHBONE ASH
The technically brilliant heavy rock band ‘Uriah Heep’ (taken from the
character featured in the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield) have
sold over 30 million records and have had 5 US Top 40 albums. Their debut
in 1970 was a simplistic bass driven sound from electric folk to a direct
harder appeal. Uriah Heep were at the forefront of a richly embossed,
fastidious style of music later to be dubbed as progressive rock.

Andy Powell, Muddy Manninen, Bob Skeat, Joseph Crabtree make
up Wishbone Ash, a British rock band who were hugely successful in the mid
70s. Their popular records include Wishbone Ash, Argus, There’s The Rub
and New England. Wishbone Ash are considered one of the major innovators
of the harmony twin lead guitar format. Their contributions helped Powell
and Turner to be included in the Top 20 Guitarists of All Time by Rolling
Stone magazine.
