In the latest issue of the Polish <em>Teraz Rock</em> magazine (<a href="http://www.terazrock.pl/issue.php?IssueId=74">March 2009</a>) there is a very interesting three page interview. Ian Gillan and Wieslaw Weiss are talking about <em>One Eye To Morocco</em> and some other things. Plus a few fine photos.
