Description
Purple Are The Leading tribute to Deep Purple in the UK and are certainly the loudest! The band is comprised of quality musicians who share a mutual appreciation of classic rock and Deep Purple in particular. PURPLE recreate the sound of Deep Purple faithfully with superb confidence & skill, paying close attention to the original versions but at the same time offering an energetic & vibrant delivery of classic songs such as Highway star, Burn & the show stopping Mistreated & child in time. At Purple’s disposal are some of the greatest pieces of heavy rock ever written including perhaps the most recognizable riff known to man in the incomparable ‘Smoke on the Water’. A typical Purple set reflects the whole spectrum of Deep Purple, stretching from the first hit ‘Hush’ all the way back in 1968 to the surprise reunion of the classic MK II lineup in 1984. Purple always include material from marks 1, II , III & indeed the often overlooked but superb MK IV lineup, which featured the incomparable Tommy Bolin. Indeed, 2006 see’s the thirtieth anniversary of his death & to mark this anniversary Purple will celebrate the life works of Tommy Bolin with a series of memorial shows. No matter which incarnation of Deep Purple you prefer MK I( Rod Evans & Nick Simper) MK II (Ian Gillan & Roger Glover) Marks III & IV (Glenn Hughes , David Coverdale & Tommy Bolin) With Purple you will be left breathless at the sheer quality that was Deep purple in full flight. In Purple’s hands, the heritage is safe & that phenomenal audacious music is still a joy to behold. Classic heavy rock deserves a classic tribute one that is powerful, emotive & uplifting. Purple are that classic tribute & remember, the REAL THING CAN’T BE IN TOWN EVERY NIGHT can they. Long live rock and roll. Pub Bands, Live music, gigs, England, Scotland, Wales, UK
