GLENN HUGHES, NICK SIMPER To Perform At DEEP PURPLE Convention

February 22, 2008

Wymer UK has announce a DEEP PURPLE convention celebrating the momentous occasion of forty years since the inception of this classic hard rock band with a 12-hour marathon of all things PURPLE.

The event will be held on Saturday, May 3 at Esquires Club in Bedford, just 40 minutes from London St. Pancras railway station.

Unlike most conventions, this event will feature appearances from two former DEEP PURPLE band members:

* Glenn Hughes will make a personal appearance with a question-and-answer session as well as doing a unique acoustic performance of classic MKIII and IV songs.

* Original PURPLE bassist Nick Simper will perform with his band the GOOD OLD BOYS.

Rounding off the live music will be a set of PURPLE classics performed by BURN, with Nick Simper joining them for some MKI numbers!

In addition to this there will be guest speakers including Ian Hansford (PURPLE roadie from 1968-73) and Ritchie Blackmore's former personal assistant, Rob Fodder.

During the day there will be video screenings of rare material, plus competitions, trade stalls and of course topping it all off the live music (as listed above) in the evening, finishing around midnight.

A splendid day is guaranteed for all PURPLE fans so come along, meet other like-minded fans and join in the fun.

The Esquires club is an intimate venue and tickets are limited so order now to avoid disappointment.
