A few words about Heal The Last Stand from Michael Dixon:

I first met Joey Dickenson at Glastonbury (Childrens') Festival in 2007, Joey was working on model steam boats and persuaded me to buy a green steam boat with its candle burner fuel supply. Joey has a magnetic personality and is a beautiful soul. I felt I had known him forever, I would go as far as to say he radiates a pure energy and lifts all those around him.

Joey kept in contact and although we have not met since 2007 I get his regular updates and was very pleased to receive his first tracks. I did not even know that Joey was in a band when we first met and I was not sure what to expect but his enthusiasm was such that I subconsciously knew it would be good.

I did not expect, when he told me that it had been produced in his bedroom, that it would be so good. I played those tracks and I found something new each time.

Heal the Last Stand was a surprise I could not have expected but my expectation is now such that I am looking forward to receiving the new album and meeting up again soon with Joey and the other members of this Welsh secret but then again - isn't it always true that Wales produces some of the best music and vocalists that Great Britain has ever produced.

I recommend you get in touch with Heal the Last Stand and get yourself a copy.

Thoroughly recommended.

Brief Biography: Established: 2007, WREXHAM, WALES.

Heal The Last Stand have a refreshing positive outlook.
Since their inception just over a year ago, these guys have been bringing good vibrations into the world, with their "Ridiculously Beautiful" harmonies.
The youngest 3 siblings of the Dickenson family have joined forces with friend Thom Bithell, to make music with heart and soul. Their stage presence, full of joy and gratitude, makes Heal' shows a profoundly memorable experience.
Expect euphoric harmonies and profound sentiments, without a trace of heartache, pain or sorrow anywhere in sight.
