"With five singers in the band, we need a product that does not dry your throat, is tasteless, odourless but efficient and reliable enough to make the light show look good, but not hinder our performance. A very tall order that Le Maitre hazers handle with ease."
Playing as close to home as London's Shepherds Bush Empire, to as far afield as Vladisvostok and Venezuela, Uriah Heep try to keep the same high standard show in whatever country they're in at the time, in terms of audio and visual and perfomance.
"If we're lucky, we have our own back line and technical rider, but sometimes it's left to whatever the local sound and light companies have left in their warehouse," says Shaw. "For this past year though, there's one bit of kit we never left to chance - our Le Maitre MVS Hazers."
