Eddie Hardin's Wizards Convention 2 - Wizard's Convention 2 (1995)

A brief explanation of The Wizard's Conventions: In the mid 1970's, Eddie Hardin was one of the participants in a group project of Roger Glover's called The Butterfly Ball - A collection of songs based on a children's book of the same name. Shortly after, in Spring of 1976, Eddie assembled much of the same cast of characters to record a collection of his own songs. The first Wizard's Convention contained contributions from Roger Glover, Jon Lord, David Coverdale, Tony Ashton, Mo Foster, Pete York, Ray Fenwick and others. The album has been re-released a number of times.

Since then, Eddie has used this "friends" concept a number of times - on his Wind In The Willows projects, and (so far) two additional Wizard's Convention releases.

Wizard's 2 was recorded in early 1995 and is more straight ahead blues based than other incarnations. The CD has seen a number of releases, with slight variations.
