Following on from the success of his solo album ‘Gillans Inn,’ the rock community is gearing up for the series of 8, one-night only concerts along the eastern seaboard of Australia. You may never get to see Ian Gillan perform in such an intimate environment again. Gillan, greatly renowned as a member of Deep Purple in their most popular era of the early 70’s has had a hugely successful career, spanning five decades. Joining Deep Purple in 1969, his first album appearance was on ‘Concerto for Group and Orchestra’ but Gillan made his most powerful impression in ‘In Rock’, ‘Fireball’ and ‘Machine Head’. The band’s most famous anthem ‘Smoke On The Water’ demonstrates Ian’s fantastic vocal ability, his exhilarating rock presence and cements his place in rock and roll history. Gillan led his own band during the late Seventies before rejoining Deep Purple for ‘Perfect Strangers’ in 1984. In 1989 he toured as Garth Rockett before releasing further solo albums including ‘Naked Thunder’ (1990), ‘Toolbox’ (1991), Dreamcatcher (1998) and most recently ‘Gillans Inn’ (2006) to name a few. Gillan is also an author, playwright, screenwriter, songwriter and a philosopher with a wicked sense of humour and a bit of the devil in his eye. Pavarotti said he is a genius, and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd declared that as long as Gillan is singing, rock and roll is not dead. His impact on pop culture remains strong to this day, with “Smoke” playing a pivotal role on a recent episode of The Sopranos.

(Covers of individual tracks are listed elsewhere.) The list is still not complete, but hopefully it will be in the future. Funky Junction Plays a Tribute to Deep Purple UK 1973 Stereo Gold Award MER 373 [1LP] Purple Tracks Performed by Eric Bell (guitar), Brian Downey (drums), Dave Lennox (keyboards), Phil Lynott (bass) and Fireball Black Night Benny White (vocals). Strange Kind of Woman Hush Speed King The first known Purple tribute was recorded as early as 1972. An unknown, starving band named Thin Lizzy (which consisted of Bell, Downey & Lynott) were offered a lump sum of money to record some Deep Purple songs. (The album contains also a few non-DP tracks.) They did - with the help from two Irish guys. The album came out in early 1973. It wasn't a success. In February, Thin Lizzy had a top ten hit with a single of their own. Read more about it here.

  • THE JOHN BYRNE BAND the John Byrne Band Is Led by Dublin Native and Philadelphia-Based John Byrne
    THE JOHN BYRNE BAND The John Byrne Band is led by Dublin native and Philadelphia-based John Byrne. Their debut album, After the Wake, was released to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic in 2011. With influences ranging from Tom Waits to Planxty, John’s songwriting honors and expands upon the musical and lyrical traditions of his native and adopted homes. John and the band followed up After the Wake in early 2013 with an album of Celtic and American traditional tunes. The album, Celtic/Folk, pushed the band on to the FolkDJ Charts, reaching number 36 in May 2015. Their third release, another collection of John Byrne originals, entitled “The Immigrant and the Orphan”, was released in Sept 2015. The album, once again, draws heavily on John’s love of Americana and Celtic Folk music and with the support of DJs around the country entered the FolkDJ Charts at number 40. Critics have called it “..a powerful, deeply moving work that will stay with you long after you have heard it” (Michael Tearson-Sing Out); “The Vibe of it (The Immigrant and the Orphan) is, at once, as rough as rock and as elegant as a calm ocean..each song on this album carries an honesty, integrity and quiet passion that will draw you into its world for years to come” (Terry Roland – No Depression); “If any element of Celtic, Americana or Indie-Folk is your thing, then this album is an absolute yes” (Beehive Candy); “It’s a gorgeous, nostalgic record filled with themes of loss, hope, history and lost loves; everything that tugs at your soul and spills your blood and guts…The Immigrant and the Orphan scorches the earth and emerges tough as nails” (Jane Roser – That Music Mag) The album was released to a sold-out crowd at the storied World Café Live in Philadelphia and 2 weeks later to a sold-out crowd at the Mercantile in Dublin, Ireland.

  • “Classic Deep Purple Live” Performed by Glen Hughes Keswick Theatre Friday, September 7
    “CLASSIC DEEP PURPLE LIVE” PERFORMED BY GLEN HUGHES KESWICK THEATRE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 Glenn Hughes, former bassist and singer of Deep Purple, known to millions as the ‘Voice of Rock’, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and the current front man for rock super group Black Country Communion is pleased to announce that he will be performing Deep Purple only material with his “CLASSIC DEEP PURPLE LIVE” at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA on Friday, September 7. The tour promises to be dynamic, a turn-back-the-clocks, two-hour live extravaganza homage to his tenure in MK 3 and MK 4 incarnations of Deep Purple - one of music history’s most seminal and influential rock and roll groups. "I'm excited to be touring the “Classic Deep Purple Live” in the US this year. I first toured Classic Deep Purple Live in Australia and New Zealand last year and it went down like a storm. We’re also touring the show throughout South America and international festivals throughout the summer. By the time we tour the US, then the UK in October, we’ll be on fire.” As well as Glenn on lead vocals and bass guitar, the touring band also features Soren Anderson (guitar), Jesper Bo Hansen (keyboards) and Fer Escobedo (drums) Deep Purple took a quantum leap when the then 20-year-old Glenn Hughes was seconded from British funk-rock outfit Trapeze in mid-1973. As bassist and co-vocalist (with David Coverdale), he helped steer the legendary rock group in the progressive direction of Burn (1974), Stormbringer (1974) and Come Taste the Band (1975), while touring the world for three years.

    FREE IAN GILLAN: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF DEEP PURPLES SINGER PDF Ian Gillan | 288 pages | 08 Dec 2016 | John Blake Publishing Ltd | 9781786061355 | English | London, United Kingdom Ian Gillan - Caramba! Y ou might think Ian Gillan, at 75 years old, would be fed up with singing Smoke on the Water. It was even a slightly ill-fitting encore during his brief spell fronting Black Sabbath in the early 80s. He recalls the plight of Luciano Pavarotti, with whom he sang a couple of times, and who one day expressed his jealousy of Gillan getting to sing Smoke on the Water. We have to mimic our original interpretation. Which is unfortunate, because almost everyone who knows his work would describe Gillan as a hard-rock singer. Not least because he continues to front Deep Purple, who have just released Whoosh! A few years here, then on to something else. But we do pass messages, and the atmosphere is quite good. I was swatting at the air to wave away the smoke. It was pure Spinal Tap, a moment of panic. Then there was the Stonehenge stage set itself. Either the specifications had been in metres when they should have been in feet, or it was built at actual size. Either way, it was too big for many of the venues Sabbath were meant to play. The crowd reaction at that opening show was not the awe Sabbath had been hoping for. It was unbelievable. His autobiography suggests he spent a great deal of time either drinking or in search of drink, but he was a social drinker who drank to get drunk, rather than someone who needed a bottle next to him at all times, he says.

  • Großbritannien 1994
    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 5.3, 2010 // 407 COME HELL OR HIGH WATER Großbritannien 1994 R: Hugh Symonds. P: Heinz Henn, Lana Topham. K: David Amphlett. S: Niven Howie. T: Chris McDermott. Beteiligte Bands: Deep Purple. DVD-/Video-Vertrieb: BMG Video. Video-Auslieferung: Oktober 1994 (Großbritannien). DVD-Auslieferung: 29.05.2001 (Großbritannien). 124min, 1,33:1, Farbe, Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo/Dolby Digital 5.1. „Es würde mehr Spaß machen, mit Saddam Hussein auf der Bühne zu stehen als mit Ian Gillan,“ erklärte Ritchie Blackmore nach seinem zweiten und endgültigen Abschied von Deep Purple im Jahr 1993 [1]. Die Spannungen zwischen dem Sänger Gillan und dem Gitarristen Blackmore sorgten immer wieder für Probleme in der Band, förderten gleichzeitig aber auch die Kreativität der Mark II genannten Besetzung Ian Gillan (Gesang), Ritchie Blackmore (Gitarre), Jon Lord (Orgel/Keyboard), Roger Glover (Bass) und Ian Paice (Schlagzeug), die von 1969 bis 1973, 1984 bis 1989 sowie 1992 bis 1993 gemeinsam aktiv war. Insgesamt existierten von der Bandgründung im Jahr 1968 bis heute zehn verschiedene Line-Ups, betitelt mit Mark I bis Mark X. Der größte Erfolg war dabei, gemessen an Platten- und Ticketverkäufen, stets Mark II beschieden. Auch die großen Hits der Band wie Highway Star, Perfect Strangers oder das weltbekannte Smoke On The Water stammen von dieser Besetzung, in anderen Konstellationen war die Gruppe verhältnismäßig unproduktiv. Die Rivalitäten zwischen Gillan und Blackmore führten immer wieder dazu, dass einer von beiden Deep Purple verließ – in der Regel der Sänger Gillan (so geschehen 1973 und 1989), den Blackmore – er war Gründungsmitglied der Formation – weniger als vollwertiges Bandmitglied, sondern vielmehr als bezahlten Sänger betrachtete, den man nach Belieben ersetzen konnte.

The band was formed way back in 1968, and is still going today, although only one founder member is left, drummer Ian Paice. Founder member Jon Lord died in 2012, and although they are both still alive, original bass player Nic Simper and vocalist Rod Evans have long since left the scene. That leaves only Blackmore, who has been doing his own thing in spectacular style with Faerie Queen Candice Night since 1997.
