Deep Purple set to rock fans during Live at the Marquee gig

ONCE proclaimed the world’s loudest rock band, Deep Purple are set to kick up a right din in Cork following the announcement that they are to play Live at the Marquee on June 30 next.

The enduring band, formed in Hertfordshire in 1968, are considered along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, to be the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock.

However, over the years Deep Purple have incorporated classical music, blues-rock and pop in their repertoire.
