DEAR NICK! VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION ABOUT DEEP PURPLE FORMATION... and after reading your STORY of of course... you tell the story about Ritchie Blackmore goes to see Jon Lord and you with THE FLOWERPOT MEN - California Ballroom, Dunstable... Was it 8 December 1967 or 1968? Or maybe you can say was GERMANY - MUNICH - BLOW-UP CLUB tour in 1967 with Jon Lord on keyboards - or 1968. ALL THE BEST and GREAT HEALTH!!! Rad

Hi Nick!! Just found your site and all kinds of good stuff on it. I've been a fan since the 60s of MK I and played lots of it in various bands over the years. When we auditioned for new bass players we had them play Emmeratta. But it was a version we got from a friend in England in '69 where you tear up the bass and very good highs on Ian's drums. Not the version that was on Purple Passages which seemed muddy with no high ends. Can you can give some info on why there were two versions and why the 'better bass' version didn't make it to vinyl? Was Emmeratta the last recording for MK I?

Hi folks! I hope you like the revamp of this web site. I've tried to keep the look and feel as close as possible to the old site, but I'm now using the Wordpress CMS to manage the nuts and bolts. Drop me an email if you find anything that's not working properly!

I will definitely be going to Brooklyn on 4-8-16 to watch DP get inducted and it is my hope that one its founding members the great Nick Simper will be there and once again be part of the band that he helped kick-start!!!!!!!!

Hi Nick, Unbelievable to say the least regarding the RRHOF. To be honest, I think they made a mistake because they are clueless. Now to save face they can't possibly admit it.

Hi Nick...please tell us that you were inducted into the RRHOF and that your name missing was an oversight. Billboard ran an article that said you were included.

Shame on the Hall of Fame. I was shocked to learn that they excluded Nick Simper, the band’s founding bassist. This needs to be corrected soon

The Rock AND(?) Roll Hall of Shame has done it again. After years of ignoring Deep Purple, they are finally inducting DP next year. But, look who's being inducted:Blackmore, Coverdale, Evans, Gillan, Glover, Hughes, Lord and Paice. Anyone notice someone missing....?

There is no info about Mac Pool passing. Can anybody confirm this sad news? Thanks

Dear Nick: Hello and how are you? Fine I hope. Have to say I don't know your playing like I know Roger Glover or even Glenn Hughes, but I want to wish you a Happy Birthday(November 3) all the same. Here's to you oldboy! Cheers, Otto
