BIFF BYFORD – School of Hard Knocks Tour Video #biffbyford
Biff and Don Jamieson Chat about the forthcoming tour here.
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.
Biff says: It’s a show I’ve wanted to do for a long time and one which I don’t think has been done in hard rock before. Itll be something different and a lot of fun.
The band for the tour will be Gus Macricostas on Bass, Kicken Lundqvist on Drums and on guitars Rob Marcello and Howie G Jarrett.
