25. Familiar names with IRON MAIDEN
Rob Loonhouse - His picture is on the sleeve of "The Soundhouse Tapes" with a
Flying V carboard cutout, which many people think is real. He was
actually a wedding photographer in the early days, and used to go to the
Maiden gigs acting real weird, and used to hop up on stage and jam out
with the cardboard cut out.
Ross (Mr. Manners/I don't want to spend my birthday in Poland/King Pervert)
Halfin - Famous band photographer, initially made famous (I think) through
his connections with IRON MAIDEN.
Dave (I'm already working on the next tour) Beasley (aka Dave Lights) -
Lighting Engineer
Rod (Smallwallet/The Raiders/I can tak' it-I'm a Yorkshireman/Sherriff Of
Huddersfield/Bloody 'ell Fire/Rufus The Red) Smallwood - Co-manager of
IRON MAIDEN, along with Andy Taylor, since December 1979.
Andy (L.B.C./Aye, a large Bacardi and Coke) Taylor - Co-manager of IRON
MAIDEN, along with Rod Smallwood.

Disappearing Armchair/The Juggler) Birch - Producer of all albums from
KILLERS through FEAR OF THE DARK. Formerly worked with DEEP PURPLE and
other such famous bands.
Tony (Computer Man) Wigens - Tour Manager
Derek (R.I.P./The Master/Blood N' Guts Everywhere) Riggs - Illustrator
Neal Kay - DJ at The Heavy Metal Soundhouse who used to have a heavy metal
chart, and publish the music magazine SOUNDS, which Maiden first started
out getting press back in the early days.
Garry Bushell - Author of the IRON MAIDEN biography, and has been hanging
around with the band (doing what, I'm not sure!) for quite some time.
He's also a big rock-band writer guy (hence, the author of the Maiden
biography "Running Free.").

apparently very disappointed with.
