Rock is the new black. 80 it’s no surprise that Scotland’s biggest music fair is being graced by the presence of a
rock beast: Paul di’Anno.
Di'Anno was the lead singer of Iron Maiden from 1977 and recorded their first two albums before leaving and allowing Bruce Dickinson to take the band to rock legend status. Since then Di’Anno has worked on solo projects as well as with bands, including Battlezone and Killers. But it’s not just his punk-metal music and continual touring that he’s known for. He’s also been a cocaine addict, a wife beater, a drunk, a fighter, 3 womaniser and for a period of time, an inmate. The reason we know all this is because Di’Anno recently brought out his autobiography, The Beast, which sums him up pretty well. It’s car crash reading, where you can’t quite believe what he’s admitting to
but you keep on reading regardless.
Di’Anno will be at the fair signing his book and having a chat between 11am-2pm on the Saturday, but the fair has plenty to offer all weekend. There will be CDs, vinyl and DVDs from around the world and across the decades as well as rarities, deletions and memorabilia for all music fans and collectors. (Jane Hamilton)
