A little Gillan and a little Lord
The latest issue (February-March 2025) of the Rock Candy magazine has a feature on the “Deep Purple maestro’s other band” Gillan. We have no idea on the details, so please report if there’s something interesting in there.
In other unrelated news, Dear Mr Fantasy – A Celebration for Jim Capaldi Featuring the Music of Jim Capaldi & Traffic, featuring contributions from Jon Lord on several tracks is being reissued on Cherry Red Records as 2CD/Blu-ray. It had been previously available on CD and DVD, so the addition of Blu-ray format is kinda new.
2CD / Blu-Ray video release of this special concert staged at the Roundhouse in London on 21st January 2007 to celebrate the life and music of Traffic co-founder and acclaimed solo artist Jim Capaldi. Aside from his work with Steve Winwood and Chris Wood in Traffic, (a band inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004), Jim also worked with many other artists and was a successful solo performer in his own right.
A wonderful house band was joined by a stellar line-up of musicians to perform their favourite Traffic and Jim Capaldi songs including STEVE WINWOOD, PAUL WELLER, PETE TOWNSHEND, JOE WALSH, YUSUF / CAT STEVENS, GARY MOORE, BILL WYMAN, JON LORD, DENNIS LOCORRIERE, SIMON KIRKE and many others who performed to a full house.
Originally issued in 2007, this new Esoteric Recordings edition gathers together the concert recordings on two CDs and a multi-region Blu-ray video of the concert film, issued in this format for the first time, in a clam shell box set.
Thanks to our editor emeritus Benny Holmström on both counts.

“Deep Purple maestro’s other band” Gillan. We have no idea on the details, so please report if there’s something interesting in there.” The Karin lady from Denmark casts her spell again it seems. I suppose it is THS good folk who have allowed this occur. If they deleted all those posts from Uwe about Elvis this probably wouldn’t be happening. It is payback time from Karin it seems. When will this spell end we wonder? Cheers.

The most awful and evil thing I could ever do to any of you, would be to serve you lukewarm coffee…… wait a minute! No no no – that kind of nastiness, I would never do!
I will always serve you all the loveliest coffee available 😍
