Von Hertzens for Steelhouse 2016

Von Hertzen Brothers will play this year’s Steelhouse festival in Wales, they’ve confirmed.

They’ll appear alongside The Darkness on the weekend of July 23-24 at Hafod-y-Dafal Farm, Ebbw Vale, with other acts to be announced in due course.

The set follows a UK tour in March, set around their appearance at HRH Prog 4, also in Wales.

VHB released sixth album New Day Rising in March last year.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
