    IAN GILLAN AND TONY IOMMI DONATE MUSIC INSTRUMENTS TO GYUMRI SCHOOL

    World-famous rock musicians Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) and Tony Iommi
    (Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell) will be donating musical instruments
    to N6 musical school in Gyumri, reads a joint press release issued
    by Mediamax and the Australian organization Do Something!

    During Gillan and Iommi's October 2009 visit to the Gyumri school
    as part of the "Armenia Grateful 2 Rock" project, school principal
    Harutyun Asatryan had told the musicians that students would very
    much like to have good guitars and a drum kit.

    The music school in Gyumri had been destroyed during the 1988
    earthquake and continues to be housed in temporary shelters. The
    musicians heeded the call and have decided to donate four acoustic
    guitars and a drum kit to the school.

    "We express huge gratitude to the great musicians for their attention
    towards Armenian children, who study music in difficult conditions,"
    said Mediamax Director Ara Tadevosyan.

    Furthermore, all of the proceeds from Ian Gillan's upcoming March 26
    and 27 concert with the State Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia will
    go toward rebuilding Gyumri's N6 music school.

    It is expected that the musical instruments will be handed over to the
    school representatives in March during Ian Gillan's visit to Yerevan.
