Early Iron Maiden Members Reunite

. (Classic Rock) Four early members of Iron Maiden, who were part of the NWOBHM giants in 1977, staged a reunion this past weekend. Vocalist Dennis Willcock, keyboardist Tony Moore, drummer Barry 'Thunderstick' Purkis and guitarist Terry Wapram gathered at the Hope And Anchor bar, where Wapram's band Buffalo Fish were playing.

The moment was arranged by fan group Maiden 77, who admitted afterwards: "We had been planning something - but to be honest we didn't know if we could pull this off. A reunion of 80% of the 1977/1978 lineup! Thank you guys. It was an amazing night."

Moore only played one show with Steve Harris' band, before it was decided that keyboards didn't fit his sound. Thunderstick was Maiden's drummer for a few months while Willcock and Wapram spent nearly a year in the lineup. Read more here.
