STEVE HARRIS of IRON MAIDEN and BRITISH LION

Squid Inc. Tours presents: Steve Harris - British Lion - Live in Concert!!! 

British Lion are an English hard rock band formed by Steve Harris best known as the bassist and founding member of Iron Maiden. 

Steve Harris - British Lion Live in New Zealand for the first time ever - 

Steve’s band British Lion tour the world playing side shows in and around his main shows with Iron Maiden. This is a chance to see one of the world's biggest rock stars up close and personal in a venue which only holds 400 people so this will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to get real close to this rock legend. 

Steve Harris formed British Lion to play in small venues as opposed to the large arenas typically played by Iron Maiden and as an outlet for shorter hard rock-oriented songs in which he can experiment with different bass guitar styles. The band also includes singer Richard Taylor guitarists David Hawkins and Grahame Leslie and drummer Simon Dawson. Harris had first met Leslie in the early 1990s after Leslie sent him a demo tape and Harris mentored the careers of Leslie and Taylor for several years until deciding to include them in the British Lion project. 

British Lion tours are typically scheduled around Iron Maiden tours when Harris becomes interested in playing in clubs and theatres as he did in Iron Maiden's early years. 

The album British Lion released in 2012 was marketed as a solo album by Harris with the other musicians described as his backing band. The project was then re-positioned as a self-contained band with most songs written by Harris Taylor and Hawkins. 

Their second album The Burning was released in January 2020. The album was voted Album of the Year by Paul Stenning for BraveWords. 

Steve Harris - British Lion plays one show only in NZ! 

This show will sell out!! 

Steve Harris British Lion play the day before Iron Maiden perform their sell out show at Spark Arena in Auckland.
