Saxon
Frontman Biff Byford hopes it’ll be fourth time lucky for the band’s ‘40th-anniversary’ tour.
“We’ll still be doing a fortieth-anniversary set. That won’t change; we haven’t put out any new material.”

How was lockdown for you?
Well, I made some albums. Right at the beginning I did my solo album [School Of Hard Knocks], and then we [Saxon] did our covers album Inspirations. I also did one with my son Seb [under the name Heavy Water] that’s just about to come out. I wasn’t just going to sit around on my arse, I used it to inspire me.
Working with Seb must have been rewarding.
It was fun. Seb is not Yngwie Malmsteen but he’s a really good riff guitarist and the album [Red Brick City] came out very well.
Did any of the members of Saxon catch covid?
