On December 7th 1988, Armenia was hit by an earthquake, both Ian Gillan and Tony Iommi have been dedicated in working to help a nation that is still recovering over 20 years later.

"Going to Armenia and seeing the actual devastation caused by the earthquake that really made me realize that funds were still needed." explains Tony Iommi, "Despite all the money that was raised last time, here was a music school doing their best, forgotten, in basic tin sheds. After the warmth and honor bestowed upon us during our visit, we just had to help make a difference and get the school re-built. And what better way than to hook up with some of rock’s greatest players and my old mate Ian, both an honor and a pleasure."
