Deep Purple’s World Tour stopped off in Ireland North and South with gigs in Belfast and Cork earlier this week. Strangely, there was no Dublin date, but these guys have been around that long that they’d need a day off between shows. I remember many a day in fifth and sixth year spent in the art room listening to Deep Purple or Santana or Bruce Springsteen while working away painting or drawing old boots and teapots. Those were the days. Every time I hear the opening riff of ‘Smoke on the Water’, I’m always brought back to then. Thanks Mike Cantwell!
