A legendary figure in rock, Ken Hensley has a long and varied career, having played with and fronted acts as diverse as British 60s psyche rockers The Gods to American southern rockers Blackfoot… but Ken is probably best known for the albums he made in the 1970s as musician and songwriter with British rock institution, Uriah Heep, from 1970’s “Very ’Eavy Very ’Umble” until 1980’s “Conquest”.
In 2006 he formed Live Fire, providing his trademark keyboards, guitar and vocals, alongside Norwegians Ken Ingwersen, Eirikur Hauksson, Sid Ringsby & Willy Bendiksen, initially just to perform Ken’s songs live.
In 2009, Tom Arne Fossheim replaced Willy Bendiksen as drummer, and continues with the band, then in 2011 Ken Hensley & Live Fire released their first studio album “Faster”.
Produced by Ken himself, “LIVE!!” captures Ken Hensley & Live Fire on their 2012 European tour at dates in Switzerland and Germany whilst promoting “Faster”.
Kicking off with ‘Set Me Free (From Yesterday)’ and ‘The Curse’ from the “Faster” album, “Live!!” is also a treat for fans of all things Ken, including unique versions of Uriah Heep classics ‘Look At Yourself’, ‘July Morning’, ‘Easy Living’ and ‘Gypsy’, and even delving as far back as ‘Rain’, originally recorded for his debut solo LP, “Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf”.
