IRON MAIDEN Manager To Make His Radio Debut Next Week
September 3, 2007, 17 years ago
IRON MAIDEN have issued the following update:
"Rod (Smallwood - manager) is making his radio debut on a friend's Metal Show House Of Rock in his home town of Brighton on Monday, September 10th at 10pm - full broadcast and repeat details are below.
This new show on online Radio Reverb is being hosted by one of his best mates, Mike Weatherley, who also happens to be the Tory candidate for Hove - but more to the point a fervent and knowledgeable metal fan. Rod first came across him when Mike was the candidate for Barking at the 2001 election and contacted Rod asking if Maiden would play on the roof of Virgin Records on Barking High St in support of his campaign!!! Naturally, not wishing to get the band involved in the machinations of the political world, Rod informed him that Maiden would be "out of the country". However Rod was intrigued by a candidate who was a metal fan and they met up shortly afterwards when Mike moved back to Brighton and have since attended many local and other Metal gigs together, large and small, including Mike going to the isolated Hungarian town of Debrecen to see Maiden ...on his honeymoon! Thankfully his Brazilian wife, Adriana, is also a metal and Maiden fan. They will be chatting about Rod's experiences in the world of metal during the 60 min show and playing some of their favourite tracks.
House Of Rock - on the radio 97.2 and on the net www.radioreverb.com. Broadcasting time is 10pm Monday night - and repeated during the week.
