Gabby Rabbitts, director of the Marine Theatre, said: "Our old website had run its course and we were

finding it difficult to communicate with our audience and the community. The new website is responsive,

user friendly, and people can become members. We are very grateful to Ian Gillan for funding this

important project and we hope that everyone enjoys using the new site."

Ian said: "I am delighted to support the Marine Theatre in its anniversary year; it does a fantastic job

at bringing in names in to the town, while celebrating local performers. This new website is helping to

communicate their important work to the community."

“Fireball.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJVSymN0yqM

Notes that there are hints of “Speed King” and “Hard Lovin’ Man” in this song.

Some speculate DP was playing this live and that Warpig stole it from them.

DP don’t exactly have a clean track record to support this.

Discussion: How did we get into Deep Purple? Why are we doing this podcast? There aren’t any other podcasts! Why? There are tons on other bands. Maybe no one out there is interested in a Deep Purple podcast and that’s why none exist. Either way there are two possible outcomes: 1. ) People will appreciate this and want to enjoy more of it or 2.) we get to explore our love of Deep Purple every week and no one listens. Either way we win! To get a chance to catch up on the band! There’s lots by the band that I have yet to explore and this will give me a great opportunity to do just that. What is your history with the band as a fan? When did you first hear of the band or what really caught your attention and made you want to learn more.
