Rock along with Purple Zeppelin’s Wilde night out
THERE will be a whole lotta lovin’ going on this Saturday, thanks to South Hill
Purple Zeppelin will be taking to the stage of the Wilde Theatre to perform a unique tribute to Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin.
They aim to capture the essence of the two iconic bands because they are huge fans of both Zeppelin and Purple.
Their theatrical show dedicated to these two giants of rock which includes special effects, onstage
‘artistic differences’, crowd participation and a few things that audiences might not expected.
There are so many great songs to choose from, the band had to develop a new approach that includes as many of the most famous tracks as possible.
They call it playing “the best bits all of the time” and it enables them to include many classic songs, so fans will definitely hear their favourites plus one or two surprises.
The accent is firmly on entertainment with Ritchie
Blackmore’s on stage antics, Jimmy Page’s twin neck Guitar and Theremin, a Drum Duet and a very special Violin Bow Solo.
The tribute group said that whether you were lucky enough to have seen the originals live or not, they will take you back to the magic, the excitement and the sheer raw energy generated by the incredible musicians.
Respected rock biographer Chris Welch who saw both bands at their peak and has written many books about
Led Zeppelin, saw the show and said: “This highly entertaining and musically authentic tribute band dared to match the brilliance of the originators.”
And they have twice been voted the Best UK Tribute Band.
The show is from 7.45pm on Saturday, March 12.
Tickets cost £20 or £18 for concessions.
