Heep Inn
We, Frans, Fred and I, arrived at 16.15 at Plato
in Helmond. We were the first Heep-fans. The Heep-Inn should begin at 17.00
hours so we had a little time to place the tables near the entrace, to check the
list of participants. etc. At 16.45 the first
people tried to get in, but despite the snow, we weren't allowed to lt them in. Sorry again Leo and
Monique and all the others. But because of the snow the doors opened a litlle bit earlier. The bus from
Bergen op Zoom arrived around 17.00 hour and after half an hour about 130 people
had entered
the Heep-Inn. Mick, Phil and Bernie arrived a little bit later for the
soundcheck. Everybody was talking, eating (oliebollen) and drinking. Louis and
Diana were selling the merchandise of Mostly Autumn and Uriah Heep. When the
soundcheck was finished Louis started the raffle.
The chance to win something
was not so bad there were about 130 numbers and 6 prizes. Nummber 88 was very
lucky because he had two prizes on one number. If you didn't win anything, maybe
there's a new chance next year. During the raffle Louis had to wear the golden
jacket he won two weeks ago in London.
The youngest kids offered Bernie some nice drawings.
Three members of the band continued signing albums and talking to their fans.
