Up The Irons puts on a spectacular, high-energy show complete with stage props, effects and on stage "Eddie" monsters that simulate the "Iron Maiden" show to a "T". Combine that with note for note accuracy and musicianship and the "win-win" combination of 5 wild Iron Maiden freaks playing the original "Iron Maiden" hits and you have an unbeatable formula that guarantees high numbers in attendance and large sales for the bar and concessions.
