KEN HENSLEY (ENGLAND)

Ken Hensley was an English singer - songwriter , multi-instrumentalist , and producer . Born in London with music in his family and blood, Ken formed the dream of being a rock star at the age of 11 when he bribed his parents to buy him a guitar. Armed with little more than sheer determination, he moved step by step, always looking for a way to advance his powerful ambitions.

This was achieved through bands like The Gods , who went through several incarnations before recording two albums for EMI Records, all the way to the formation of Uriah Heep in 1970, the group that made all his dreams come true and changed his life forever in so many ways. Ken Hensley was a rock & roll legend with no plans of stopping. Sadly, Ken Hensley passed away last November (2020).

Ken played with a unique Alhambra model. www.ken-hensley.com or Facebook
