> WEAPON REUNITE
Weapon are pleased to announce their new 2009 line up. Joining founder members, Danny & Jeff, are bass player Gavin Cooper (Paul Di'Anno's Battlezone/Killers/Statetrooper) and drummer Ian Sweeting (The Risen/Stone Katz).
The reason for the line-up changes are Bruce is committed to Andy Scott's Sweet, with whom he's played with for many years. And Baz, unfortunately, has had to retire from live work due to illness. He will, however, still be involved in writing with Danny & Jeff. We'd like to add we have the full blessing of both Baz & Bruce to continue what the four of us started in 1980. We'll miss them both but, in the words of Queen, "The Show Must Go On"
Weapon debut their new line up on Saturday 14th November 2009 at The Peel, 160 Cambridge Road, Kingston, Surrey, KT1 3HH, Tel: +44 208 5463516
