From a BBC2 broadcast of archive material, "Guitar Heroes at the BBC", January 2011
Notes:
- Ritchie Blackmore started his musical career as a session guitarist for 'Telstar' producer Joe Meek.
- Blackmore bought a Fender Stratocaster after seeing Hendrix in concert. He got it second hand from Eric Clapton's roadie.
- Deep Purple were heavy Metal pioneers. The Guinness Book of World Records once called them the globe's loudest band.
- Blackmore and his fiancee Candice Night are now the Renaissance-inspired pop group Blackmore's Night.
