In 2013, Heart appeared on the cover of the ninth issue of the short-lived but much-loved AOR Magazine. Inside, writer and Rock Candy Records boss Derek Oliver – who attended Heart's debut UK show in late 1976 – spoke to Ann and Nancy Wilson and told their story.
When AOR chief of operations Geoff Barton asked me to write about Heart, I thought Christmas had come early. Y’see, me and Heart go back a long way. We first met in late 1976, although they won’t remember it. I was in the audience at the New Victoria Theatre in London and they were on stage, playing their debut UK gig. Ann and Nancy were dolled up in cool 70s hippy chic, knocking out spellbinding music fashioned from bruising heavy rock and jangly folk.
