Jon Lord photo blog and book
On May 23rd 2010, Jon Lord and the Lord Chamber Orchestra played what sadly would be Jon’s last concert in the magnificent Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. Former THS editor Trond J. Strøm took some beautiful black and white photos during the final rehearsals that day. For now, Trond is publishing the photos in a blog but a photo book containing the photos is also planned. You can sign up for updates on the book project on the blog.
The concert is also available to watch online.

Jon Lord really did travel the full circle, in finishing his career with orchestral music! From the late 60’s & no doubt he still had unfinished business, but at least he knew to get out of rock music before it was too late! He succeeded in so many ways. RIP. Cheers.
