According to www.deep-purple.net:
>>Jon Lord is lined up for the Lichfield Festival on July 17th 2009. The full programme for this year's event will be released in April. Early tickets are available for members of the festival association, and for the rest of us on April 17th. The best way to get more information is to check the dedicated festival web site. Lichfield is just north of Birmingham.
According to the Lichfield festival director's blog, Jon Lord visited Lichfield on March 31st to have a go on the cathedral organ in preparation for his performance.... "Now, having heard a bit of what the cathedral organ can do, he's gone off to plan how best to use it in his event." (Hopefully not as a shelf)<<
After 45 years of his illustrous career he's finally given a chance to play the instrument compatible with His Lord's Genius. How excellent. I'm sure it will be absolutely amazing to hear Jon commanding this type of the instrument. WOW! Can you imagine the cathedral halls rousing with the opening bars of "Perfect Strangers"!? :-)
Yes, it's great news, isn't it :) Well, I doubt he'll play "Perfect Strangers" but maybe a little bit of "Bach Onto This"... well, you never know :)
