Wymer UK is pleased to 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 3rd May at Esquires Club in Bedford, just 40 minutes from London St Pancras railway station.

Unlike most conventions we are also pleased to announce that there will be appearances from two former band members:

– Nick will be joining in the festivities with the Good Old Boys, and we understand the band will be doing some MKI numbers for this unique occasion.

– Glenn Hughes will be making a personal appearance with a Q & A session as well as doing a unique acoustic performance of classic MKIII & IV songs.

– Rounding off the live music will be a set of Purple classics performed by Burn.

In addition to this there will be guest speakers including Ian Hansford (Purple’s first 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.
