British Lion &Tony Moore

“It’s fantastic to see the whites of people’s eyes again. With Maiden we build catwalks out in the audience but we’re still so far away.”

As Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris’s ‘other’ band British Lion prepare for a lengthy UK tour throughout January, with support from Iron Maiden’s short-lived keyboard player Tony Moore and his praised ‘one-man show’, Classic Rock talked to Harris and his former bandmate.

Are the two of you in regular contact?

Steve Harris: Yeah. We drifted apart for a while, but Tony and I have been friends again for a few years now. It’s been nice.

Tony Moore: Steve hasn’t changed at all during that time.

[Chuckling] Except I’ve got three chins now.
