Hi there, I just bought The Deep Purple MKI Songbook and I'm enthusiastic about it. Finally an album with the old Deep Purple songs. This is much more interesting than something like Deep Purple - Live at Montreux editions 1996 and 2006.
I also like Warhorse and Rod Evans his albums with Captain Beyond.
hi nick,
any idea where rod evans is,and what he's doing?
i was at school with him.my best mate,his site say's he came from slough,but he came from priory estate burnham bucks,buttermere avenue,no. 65 to be precise,did he ever pay off his huge fine for the spoof group? also,what ever happened to mick angus,deep purple's roadie,i did hear that he auditioned for deep purple before rod.someone said that he got involved in pyramid selling of cosmetics,a few months before it was banned over here. many thanks roger
Nearly 3 months since any update,any chance it will happen in near future ?
Geez Nick you need to learn to text or email at least-what good is a message board when you can't correspond with anyone-Ged and I are in constant contact, it is good to be reconnected with the old gang from the Flower Pot Men to Deep Purple get on board guy, would love to keep in touch before we are all dead and buried==Suzi
Terrific gig at the Red Lion Isleworth Last night you did not miss a beat it seems from when I last saw you at the RoundHouse back in the day.

If anyone can help fill in any part of this band's history, I would be grateful. They were active in West London in the early 1960s:

Hi Everybody!

For more details check out here at http://thebookofbands2.blogspot.com/2008/10/savages-in-concert-next-coming-gigs.html
there is not stopping me I will be on your message board everyday or week till you connect up with me Mr. Simper-Maybe you can't remember me, that I cannot believe so come on let your fingers do the typeing
Please have a look at my book :"Ritchie Blackmore" in internet.
The Blackmore family don´t like it, they have banned me from their You Tube page.
Hey Nic email me also trying to reconnect with Ged-for gods sake you have to remember me after what 40 plus years-geez how could you forget that cute little American bird that fancied you ha ha ha
Nic hopefully you remember me. It's been a long time however would love to chat and catch up since I left London to return to California.
You have to remember "Billy Walkers Upper Cut Club"
I understand that you don't get any royalties off the FIRST 3 ALBUMS. What about the "new releases"...
live concerts ect??? I see that the first 3 albums have been reissued WITH BONUS TRACKS. Before we buy any of them; DO YOU GET ANYTHING OFF THE SALES OR DOES THE MONEY FLOW TO GILLAN,PACE AND BLACKMORE? If they do we will refuse to buy ANY OF THEM. This is because of the way you and Rod were treated...And also because of the "Bogus 1980 Deep Purple" controversy...We recently saw a video from mexico with Rod singing "Smoke on the water". It was not as bad as we were lead to believe! Hell it sounds as bad as gillen singing "Hush" What do you think of the latest version carrying the name WITH ONLY ONE ORIGINAL MEMBER? DOES THAT MEAN THE 1980 LAWSUIT'S
INTERPRETATION COULD STOP PACE FROM USING THE NAME?
Never knew about how (or why) you left purple. what a bunch of spineless jellyfish!
we would like to hear more warhorse! you guys sound better than purple anyway!!!
Dear Good Old Boys,

Hi Nick,
You mentioned having the priviledge of working with one of the greatest drummers Mac Poole. Sadly Mac has seen a return of his cancer & is not able to do many gigs right now. There is to be a benefit night for Mac, which he will attend, on Friday 14th May 2010 at Harrow Borough Football Club.

South Harrow HA2 8SS.
Would be nice to see you there or spread the word please!

Many thanks! Play on !
Kate.
Hi Nick and sorry to be taking business onto your website but anyway... we are very interested in making a licence proposal to distribute the Warhorse catalogue in Europe, however I have made repeated requests to EMI Publishing (who previously claimed to own the recordings), none of which have elicited any response. Do you happen to know who owns these recordings, or whether they have perhaps now reverted to the band? Any information you can provide (via the attached email address) would be gratefully received - Best wishes, Nick Berry
Trying to track down a copy of "Orpheus" written by Nick Warburton and Janet Wheeler. I am teacher and wish to use it for a school. No luck so far. Can you help?
