Deep Purple Drummer Unable To Appear At Drumwright

Deep-Purple.net has issued the following report, courtesy of The Purple Project:

"Ian Paice was hoping to do another slot for Drumwright (the first was reviewed in DTB 58). The evening is titled Rock Of Ages, and takes place on February 28th at the Rivermead Leisure Centre, Reading (UK).

Tickets are £15 or £10 for students in full-time education (does any student do full-time education?!). The Purple Project have just told us that Paice will not be able to make the charity concert as DP are now touring at the time.

Otherwise, confirmed for the event are a slew of sixties stars including Clem Cattini, Bob Henrit and Bobby Orr.

You can call the organisers on 0118 944 1418.

There's also an autographed Ian Pace drum kit up for grabs on the night."
