, Helix held an intimate concert for about 100 fans, which also gave them a chance to meet and hang out with the band at the first-ever Helix backyard barbeque. “We've always had a close connection with our fans,” says Vollmer. “Even back in 1974 when we started, we used to answer our fan mail and, we paid close attention to our fans, so this is really nothing new.
” A stage was built in his east London backyard and they sold merchandise at the “bring your own booze” event. “This is absolutely one of the best shows that I have been to,” said Susan Pindus, a fan who travelled from Windsor, Ont. “To be in the backyard and to actually share moments with Brian and the guys up there, they're absolutely amazing.
Bryan's voice is absolutely amazing, and the songs that he sings, I can actually relate to them. He is the number one front man.” Glenn Richard and his friend Laura Grealis parked their camping chairs just about 10 feet from the stage.
A push is on to get Helix the B.
