Welcome to the group!

Secret Voyage in Poland.

     I just got back from Poland and what a wonderful trip! The
flights went well, but I had some trouble finding the correct bus to
Plock. I ended up taking an expensive taxi there. It was not wasted;
I enjoyed the conversation with driver as he spoke about all the
changes going on since the Soviet times.
     Plock is a great little city with the typical old European town
square. My hotel had a great view of the Vistula (Wis³a) river – and
probably where the band may have stayed as there was a big bus parked
outside, but I did not see them go in or out.
     The special concert was part of a local festival going on in the
town. http://www.ump.pl/main.php?cid=skroty&&iid=imprezy2008%20 It
was free and was staged right at the beginning of the town square.
The square was as with many in Europe is such special place and I
thinks serves as a great setting for the band.  I went there at
around four to get in line. There were a few people there already in
garb. I saw Dave, Barry, Elizabeth, and the new Earl for a bit and
wished them well. They said they may do some new songs so I was
optimistic. I managed to get a quick hello to Carole as she was busy
running back and forth making the final preparations.
     We were treated to the sound check outside. The band minus RB and
CN, warmed up and played bits of Locked within the Crystal Ball. Then
CN came on stage with her tea cup in hand. Then they did multiple
versions of Crystal ball which sounded great. Everyone standing
around cheered.  The spent some time resolving some buzzing from the
mike. Elizabeth was bit sore from all the schawm playing. After they
finished and left the stage, others played the guitars. Ritchie may
have played some also but was hidden behind the backdrops. I started
to here some bits and pieces that were all Ritchie, but I never
actually saw him so I cannot confirm.
    After some more waiting, we were let in.  I was lucky to get up
front  and be on the guest list- thanks Carole! All the front rows
were filled with fans garb. It was nice to meet Alma and the rest of
the Polish Fanclub. First up, was a Polish City ceremony honoring
those who had done a lot to help Plock and its people.  I do not know
the specifics, as I cannot understand Polish.  It was a nice ceremony
with people dressed up in traditional outfits and carrying banners.
They even had a small group of musicians. It was a real shock when
they fired the rifles as a salute to the people – very loud!
    Blackmore's Night was next to appear. We heard over the PA many
Geyers tunes and then the tape of God Save the Keg. All the media
were lined up in front of the stage and the show began. The show
started with an awesome version of Locked within the Crystal Ball.
This set the crowd on fire and people kept moving forward. Seats were
not used for the rest of the night.  It got a little tight up front.
The Polish crowds were very energetic from the start. Clapping,
jumping, and screaming were the norms. Crystal sounded great and the
crowd gave it a great response. Next saw the return of Queen for Day
to the set, which was a nice surprise – Candice really takes you back
in time signing like a princess. The show continues on with Under a
Violet Moon etc…and we even got treated to another new song Toast to
Tomorrow.  The crowd defiantly was rocking. The quieter moment fewer
than in many other shows I have seen. In the Fires at Midnight
acoustic solo it was getting quite loud and then the sound of a car
horn went off – which Ritchie kindly responded by playing those
sounds on his guitar! This had the crowd laughing. It got a little
loud so the solo was then ended quickly. After that, no more really
quiet times.  Songs like St Teresa, All for One, and Black Night were
played. The last one had to be done as the crowd was chanting
incessantly after the main set ended. The show was very energetic and
everyone played well. Candice interacted well with the crowd all
night and even spoke of some of her family coming from Poland.
Ritchie gave out beer and even dragged a member of the Polish Fanclub
on stage for a bit to request a song. At one point, Ritchie drank a
little out of one and gave it to the crowd -  they all went crazy
trying to get a sip of it! Ritchie was constantly playing with the
crowd. It was great way to start the tour. It was wonderful having a
violinist back. Lady Elizabeth / Gypsy Rose played well and
contributed some nice backup singing. A few observations: Few
instrumentals, heavy on GOAR material, and very rocking. Should be a
great tour… Hoping for some USA dates!

Hi Tim,

 

What a superb gig review. Admittedlt, at my end of the line, the yahoo board scrambles your text a bit (and does not like hyphens etc) so look at the link above and see if I have re-assembled your article to your liking?

 

PS: Not had chance to see your photos on your Yahoo board....yet.

BLACKMORES NIGHT / MORNING STAR

Imitation can be a sincere form of flattery but not when someone uses your name for their own gains. There is only one Doc Calvinson and he wrote the next stage listed on the http://www.blackmoresnight.com  website. He has not written any other books so beware of impostors using his name.

Just released in Germany: Orkus, Zillo, and Sonic Seducer have July / August issues with interviews from Candice and Ritchie. And coming out (on June 26^th), a great interview with Candice night for the magazine Body and Mind (in Germany).

Carole Stevens commented:

"One of our band members was extremely ill and in the hospital clinic for hours
prior to the show and went to the show, right from emergency treatment. We did not
expect to even be able to have a show that night. That is why they had to stop a
little early, still playing close to two hours. The sold-out audience was
fantastic even waiting outside for hours to applaud the group when they left the
venue."

Success for MORNING STAR (the Blackmores Night tribute band in Italy)

Morning Star alla grande nel "Tour Music Fest"

I Morning Star, con il brano "World of Stone" dei Blackmore's Night, sono passati al secondo turno del Festival Nazionale "TOUR MUSIC FEST", un concorso che si svolge toccando 24 città italiane. La giuria ha espresso un giudizio estremamente positivo, esaltando la qualità dell'esecuzione e l'impatto scenico della band.

I Morning Star sono il risultato della fusione di musicisti provenienti dalle esperienze musicali più diverse. E’ a tutt’oggi l’unico gruppo italiano ad eseguire un repertorio unicamente basato sui brani del grande chitarrista Ritchie Blackmore e della vocalist Candice Night. La band propone atmosfere di ispirazione medievale e rinascimentale, dalle ballate classiche dei menestrelli itineranti con mandole e altri strumenti dell’epoca a brani eseguiti con un accattivante tocco di strumenti moderni senza mai tradire la matrice romantica che caratterizza questa musica. Grazie ai numerosi virtuosismi strumentali, della chitarra in special modo, riescono ad attirare, oltre agli estimatori della musica tradizionale anche un folto pubblico di giovani. Sono molto apprezzati anche in Europa.

The Morning Star tribute band make a step forward in the National Contest "TOUR MUSIC FEST" with the Blackmore's Night song "World of Stone". The sound quality and the look of the band have been very appreciated by selectors.

Huzzah! Another mention...
Blackmore's Night Reccomended in Renaissance Magazine Wedding Issue--

"Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night's musical ensemble 'Blackmore's
Night' also have a splendid catalog of music that would be an
excellent choice for any renaissance / medieval wedding."

First Gig of UK Blackmores Night tribute band!!!

Email from Martin Leonard (Lord Waffty Fuugg)

Hi all.

Well here we go with the first gig for the all-new CARTOUCHE band.  I actually started trying to get this all together last December so only taken 6 months!  We still need a keyboard player to really fill out the sound as the one we did have/may still have is rather flaky/unreliable so if anyone knows a keyboard player give them my e-mail....Please!

Anyway, on to the gig; we've only had two or three run-throughs with the whole band but as the gig is in a beer tent (my natural habitat); and on the basis that the more you drink the better we sound, thought we'd go for it.

So 2pm start next Sat the 9th at the:

Barcombe Mills Country Show
Bridge Farm, Barcombe Mills, nr Lewes 10 am start

Annual Country Show with grand firework display saturday night, traditional fun fair, trade stalls, beer festival, boot fair, tractor rides, military vehicles. tug of war, dog show, pardade of horses and hounds, birds of prey, ice cream and craft tent. Camping and caravanning pitches available. FREE ADMISSION. Come along and support Chestnut Tree House. For more information please call Poppet on 01273 400175.

Village Website: http://www.villagenet.co.uk/ashdownforest/villages/barcombe.php

'Cartouche' plunder the music of 'Blackmore's Night' (and a few others)

Just head for Barcombe and it will be signposted.  The show opens at 10am and there is a band on in the evening as well, no idea who they are.

Hope to see some of you there.  We will try to get some video/audio to put on the website and 'you-tube' as soon as possible after the gig.

Bye for now and hope to see some of you there, and anyone that wants to dress all medieval like would be most welcome... Come on, when’s the last time you got to wear a suit of armour in public?

Martin Leonard

BLACKMORES NIGHT Review (Music Street Journal)

Hello, everyone, I wanted to let you know that the latest issue of Music Street Journal (musicstreetjournal.com) is live It might well be our biggest issue yet – with over 120 new articles. Of course, with this issue going live the past issue is only available in our archives. While the current issue is free to all, the archives are "members' only," but memberships start as $6 and include a lot of bonus features not available in the main site including audio and video provided by well over a hundred artists, audio interviews, concert photo galleries (with more and larger pics than those that accompany our concert reviews) and more. You can log in by using the box on the main page and if you need a membership you will find the "click to register" link right next to that box.

In any event, let's look at what list members will find interesting – Ritchie Blackmore related articles. We've just got one this time – a CD review (track by track) of the new Blackmore's Night CD.

We hope you enjoy the new issue, but I'd like to emphasize that we really need your help. Please buy a membership or a banner ad and/or encourage your friends to do so. Without your help this site will die (we have our exit strategy mapped at the moment). If you don't want to buy a membership, please use one of the donation options (1, 2 or 3 dollars) also accessible by the "click to register" link to help us out. If half of our visitors were to donate just one dollar the site would be able to continue on indefinitely. So, if you enjoy Music Street Journal, please show your support by helping us make our rising costs. Thanks and look forward to another issue at the end of September.
