Darker Than Blue RSS- Whitesnake’s big package (tour)David Coverdale and whoever is in Whitesnake right now (I’m a bit out of touch) are coming over on a stadium visit to Britain May / June 2020. They will be in the company of fellow rock and roll titans (© Manchester Evenings News!) Foreigner and (openers) Europe to form a triple bill likely to […]
- It’s a dateUPDATE – A show in Italy has just been added, Bologna Park, on July 6th. The first of Deep Purple‘s summer tour shows for 2020 have now been confirmed, with eight concerts in June / July across Austria and Germany (most of which are branded “Summer Nights 2020″). With one exception these all seem to […]
- Suitable for 3 to 7 year oldsWe were chatting online about the curious collection of rock album art jigsaws which HMV loaded their shelves with in September 2019 in the hopes of getting pre-Christmas present buyers interested (I’d hold out for the post-Christmas sales if I were you!). Tim Summers then came back with this gem which he found on Leeds […]
- On displayJohn Spiers spotted Ian Gillan in the National Archives at Kew recently… not visiting, but on display! They have an exhibition about the Cold War up at present, and devote a cabinet to the subject as reflected in books and music of the time. So “pop artist” Gillan’s 1981 Mutually Assured Destruction 7″ single is included. […]
- In Town Tonight • RoundhouseAnother poster sent in by Gary Poronovich for us to check out, from Deep Purple’s two nights at The Roundhouse October 16th and 17th 2013. It’s a real shame they haven’t got a good logo as it kind of spoils what could have been a smart design. The Roundhouse logo by comparison is excellent. I […]
- In Town TonightFree US roll on deodorant for every ticket holder! More details on our diary page.
- John won’t be there!But he says Diva Purple, the new (well to me anyway) all-female Deep Purple tribute outfit, are gigging in December including a show in London on December 10th. I love the shot above which decorates their Facebook page (and deserves to decorate a compilation), though no idea where it’s from. They have a sort of […]
- Purple stageThe ultimate fan souvenir? Mark Maddock just sent me this photo of a ‘Deep Purple touring stage’ which someone has just put up for auction online in America. It seems to be the welded metal subframe, ply boarding and a bunch of old lights! It also seems to be kept outdoors so better get some […]
- Flower peopleI do quite like a potter around a garden centre, as much to marvel at the sheer amount of bizarre novelty tat they seem to sell these days as anything, so the camera is always with me. Which was handy for these two latest additions to the Deep Purple themed garden (which as some will […]
- Look away nowMark Jones says his U.S. based brother Shaun saw Deep Purple in Shawnee on September 20th and was able to snap the set list for us, so press the back arrow now if you don’t want to know! He reports being impressed with Gillan but that the crowd was a bit sparse. The title […]
