DIAMOND HEAD Guitarist Pays Tribute To 'Best U.K. Rock DJ' TOMMY VANCE

March 11, 2005

DIAMOND HEAD guitarist Brian Tatler has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"Respect to the best U.K. rock DJ.

"Tommy [Vance] was one of our early supporters and friends. He recorded an interview with DIAMOND HEAD in 1982 for the b side of 'Heat of the Night' single, and he, along with Tony Wilson, invited DIAMOND HEAD to record a session for Radio 1's 'Friday Rock Show', I also fondly remember him when he was the guest DJ at an early DIAMOND HEAD gig at Walsall Town Hall in 1981, and he was throwing records out into the crowd. We all thought he was a thoroughly nice guy, so God bless you Tommy."

DIAMOND HEAD recently made their new album, "All Will Be Revealed", available for order online via their official web site.

"All Will Be Revealed" was produced by Brian Tatler and Karl Wilcox and is available in a limited tour edition.

DIAMOND HEAD recently completed a European tour with MEGADETH — the group's first with new singer Nick Tart and rhythm guitarist Adrian Mills. The band's current lineup is completed by Karl Wilcox (drums) and Eddie Moohan (bass).
