Who Is In The Deep Purple Rock Family Tree?
February 8th, 2010 - Posted by Jo

This is the first of an occasional new service to our extended family:
revealing the names of the band members listed in the tree, from Tony Ashton (Paice, Ashton and Lord) and Pete Barnacle (Gillan) to Art Wood (Artwoods) and Bernie Woodman (Roundabout).

Others appear in text and margins. Maybe one day we’ll do something about that too.

If you prefer you can view the tree in amazing deep zoom here or visit the shop.

Looking in the top left hand corner of tree I see that its 43 years since The Flowerpot Men’s brief time together began.
Any chance of staging a reunion for this, in Purple (prose) terms (at least) seminal band?
