GIRLSCHOOL Still Taking Part In Heavy MTL Despite Dropping Off NWOBHM Tour - "It's Great To Be Back In Canada After All These Years"
June 9, 2011, 13 years ago
As reported earlier, UK-based all-female heavy rock icons GIRLSCHOOL will not be taking part in DIAMOND HEAD's upcoming NWOBHM US tour which will also feature original JUDAS PRIEST vocalist AL ATKINS (HOLY RAGE). However the leader-clad ladies will still be banging heads with Canada's leading metal festival Heavy MTL, which takes place July 23rd - 24th at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, PQ.
Girlschool drummer Denise Dufort comments about returning to Canada: "It's great to be back in Canada after all these years (last time we been there was in 1993!!! ) and especially for me who's father comes from Montreal and I still have lots of family here!
