Legendary Saxon frontman Biff Byford launches his first ever solo album, 'School Of Hard Knocks' (see today's Track Of The Day), on Friday 21st February, through Silver Lining Music. With his roots firmly in The North of England, Biff has earned the right to be considered The Heavy Metal Bard Of The North and his debut album reflects the man and his personality, his loves and his musical versatility. To coincide with his album launch, Byford embarks on his first ever solo tour in April including London's Islington Assembly Hall on Tuesday 28th, with European dates to be announced later. The show, in the form of An evening with..., will be split into two halves. The first features Biff in conversation with Don Jamieson (American comedian and star of VH1 Classics That Metal Show) on all aspects of his life and career. After the break Biff and his band will play some new songs, covers and, maybe, a Saxon song or two!
