Prog-Watch 518
Guitar legend Mick Box has been rocking with Uriah Heep for approximately 50 years! This week he is my esteemed guest on Prog-Watch! Mick and I have a quick chat about the current Heep tour, their forthcoming album, and their PledgeMusic campaign, and along the way I spin lots of great Heep music, new and old!
Michael Frederick “Mick” Box (born 9 June 1947, in Walthamstow, East London, England) is the lead guitarist of British rock group Uriah Heep. For nearly 50 years, through numerous line-up changes, more than 25 studio album and countless live albums and compilations he has kept the Uriah Heep brand alive and thriving.
