It's Belfast (show) business for Maiden frontman in February

WOULD you Adam 'n' Eve it but Bruce Dickinson is to appear in Belfast...only don't expect another high octanse set of heavy metal on February 7th.

The singer formerly known a Bruce Bruce in his Samson days will be guest speaker for the Institute of Directors Annual Dinner in the Europa Hotel.

In an extensive plug for the IoD's dinner the chairman of the Institute, Mervyn McCall, plugs Mr Dickinson's appearance with the following quotation in today's News Letter:

"We are thrilled to have secured such a rock heavyweight as the guest speaker at out annual dinner.

"The dinner is the highlight of the Institute's year and I'm sure everyone who attends will be greatly anticipating hearing from Bruce and how he combines his musical and business careers."

Mr McCall may be ignoring the fact that it is called show business and we recommend he watches the Belly of the Beast Iron Maiden documentary to see the real business about putting on Iron Maiden shows around the globe.

Why Bruce would choose to be a guest speaker for a bunch of business suits is clear to anyone who knows the man's current business interests, which include being a pilot, heading a major aircraft maintenance employer and a fencing equipment company called 'Duellist'.

Bruce's appearance and all these business interests aside we want to know (a) when will there be a new Maiden album and (b) when will he front Maiden again in Belfast.
