BLACK ROSE Rejoined By Original Guitarist

August 21, 2010

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) band BLACK ROSE has announced that it has been rejoined by original guitarist Kenny Nicholson in preparation for the group's upcoming gigs to promote BLACK ROSE's recently completed third album, "Cure For Your Disease".

Kenny was the original BLACK ROSE guitar player back in 1980 and was featured on the band's first demo tape recorded at the Neat Records Studios, but he left the group before any of their records/CDs were released.

BLACK ROSE will play a set consisting of songs dating back to that first demo tape right up to the latest material on the new album, with a load of stuff to chose from in between. According to a press release, "They are really looking forward to playing live again after an absence of over 20 years."

BLACK ROSE was featured in "No Sleep Till Saltburn", an affectionately humourous look at the NWOBHM scene of the mid-1980s, which was released last Halloween. The book can be purchased via Lulu.com and it comes with a free download link with each purchase for a brand new BLACK ROSE track called "Twice Shy Once Bitten".
