Don Airey on Bruce Dickinson Show
BBC has announced that Don Airey will appear on the Bruce Dickinson Friday Rock Show on October 9. The show broadcasts between 21:00 and midnight on BBC Radio 6 and online, and will be available for online listening for 7 days after that.
Update [Oct 6]: The interview with Don was recorded last night and, according to the show producer “Don has a lot of great stories”. Tune in this Friday to BBC Radio 6.
Thanks to BraveWords for the heads up and to Ian Callaghan for the additional info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Hopefully Don gets to shine in his own right and his solo efforts will get some more airplay.
I wish there was a live recording of his tour early this year.
One of the most enjoyable evenings in my gig career.
October 3rd, 2009 at 16:56Come on DON. Come across as a Major Player in the Band. Please show that you are THE KEYBOARDIST in Deep Purple and not just a Session Player…..Do YOUR BAND justice and take hold. You have a new record yet to record. Make your presence KNOWN.
Cheers.
October 4th, 2009 at 01:07Really liked his Light in The Sky-album, and yes, a live recording of the tour would be cool as I didn’t have a chance to be there myself…will catch him in december with DP though.
What a year it is/ has been for a DP-/Rainbow-fan here in Finland: Graham Bonnet, OTR, Dio, current Purple…won’t get much better than that, eh. Mr. Bonnet really delivered, and RJD(pity that Goldy isn’t with him this time) & DP Mk VIII should be great/good and worth the money…have my doubts about OTR but will give them a fair chance & it will be interesting to see/hear Jurgen in action.
Yeah, got carried away a bit, but no harm done, right.
October 4th, 2009 at 07:08Hi sami
Where did you get carried away?
By buying all those tickets?
It is a bit much in a short time.
I dont like overdoses, festivals etc
And I m fighting off flue like shit again…..
Hopefully I ll make it the 24th when I m gonna see Over The Rainbow
Still a pity I cant let Tony Carey sign some stuff now…….
Have a good time during the gigs, Sami
Cheers, Mark

Well said, Tracy.
October 8th, 2009 at 01:56Tracy, you put it very well. Mr. Airey really needs to make his presence known more…it’s DP after all, not just another band/session.
Yeah, Mark, it’s a bit much but they’re not going to be
around forever, so got to get my fix before they all retire.
Just got a few more TC cd’s…I’m really starting to get
into his music: melodic, thoughtful & witty.
Get well soon, Cheers

But appearantly there was some problem at THS headquarters again.
