Feb, 28 2020


~When you hear the first few notes of the 1973 rock classic ‘Smoke on the Water’ you know instinctively  the band and the riffs that made them the hard rock group they grew into.

Yes, Deep Purple have enjoyed a fifty year career in the spotlight. The band were formed in Hertford, England in 1968 and soon became the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock. They paved the way for new and incoming bands and set the template for the rock genre in the decades that followed their inception.

 A tribute act entitled ‘Deeper Purple’ has strived to replicate the sound and look of the iconic group.

Paul Morris is the lead singer (Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Purpendicular) with musicians made up of professionals from New York, Spain and the UK.

They’ll be performing at The Continental on Thursday 5th March 2020. Doors are at 8pm. Tickets are available from the following options:-

  • Advance tickets are £12 (£15 on the door)
  • Online now at Coast Town Events (no booking fee), Ticketweb & Skiddle
  • In person from Continental bar (01772 499 425)
  • Action Records (01772 884 772)

In 2008 Deep Purple received The Legend Award at the World Music Awards. The group made up of Blackmore, Lord, Paice, Gillan, Glover, Coverdale, Evans, and Hughes) were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

Now four years later their doppelganger replicas are set to rock the Continental performing the following  three hit singles:-

  1. ‘Highway Star’
  2. ‘Child in Time’
  3. ‘Black Night’

And many, many more:-
