Dear Candice,

My name is Joanna Karczewska and I come from beautiful country, from Poland. I want to tell you, that I enjoy your music very much! Unfortunately, I couldn't see your concert, because my mum didn't let me go. My favourite songs are: "No second chance", "Ocean Gypsy", "Under a violet moon", "Catherine Howard's Fate", "Beyond the Sunset", "The clock ticks on", "Magical world" and "Renaissance Faire".

I heard, that your grandmother comes from Poland. Do you like this country? Have you ever heard any Polish song? What about concerts in Poland? Are you going to play in Poland in the next year?

Hear from you soon
Joanna (Iris) Karczewska

Hello Joanna,
Almost all of the sons that you mentioned are songs that we do in concert. I do hope that your mom will allow you to come see us play this year. We will be in
Poland on Friday, 5.23.03 in Wieliczka performing at the Kinga Chapel and Sunday 5.25.03 we will be in Warsaw at the Roma Theatre. Come and see us! Yes, it's true, my mother's side of the family comes from the area that used to be Prussia and some of them are from a lost town named Tristina which I can't seem to find on any maps. But my grandmother came from Bialystock at the beginning of the 1900's so when I go back to Poland I can feel my roots surrounding me. The earth is the same earth she would have stepped on. She may have passed the same trees. It brings me closer to my ancestry and I always get a warm feeling when I return to Poland. I hope one day to get more time there and explore the countryside and the villages. Perhaps I will see you there...
Love and light,
Candice

Hello Candice,

 
I was just wondering if the Past Times with Good Company concert is also on DVD, or if you have any plans to release it as a DVD?
 
Are there any live DVDs by Blackmore's Night or Candice Night?

Hello Jeff,
We did record a couple of shows from the time that the live album Past Times With Good Company was recorded which was actually the Fires At Midnight tour. We recorded a show in Solingen Germany at a beautiful outdoor venue named Schloss Burg and we also recorded the indoor, mostly acoustic shows at Wartburg Castle in Eisenach Germany which is also Bach's home town. The shows were recorded for a DVD release and there will be interviews and special footage on the DVD as well. That DVD will be released later this year. There are 3 other videos available right now, but they are in videotape form as of right now. They are available on
www.blackmoresnight.com on the merchandise page. As soon as the DVD is available I will be sure and put it on the news page here. Thanks for asking!
Love and light,
Candice

HI CANDICE;

I JUST VISITED BOTH SITES AS I HAVE BEEN A BLACKMORE FAN SINCE THE EARLY 70'S.  I SEEN HIM IN CONCERT IN GERMANY WHEN I WAS STATIONED THERE IN THE ARMY. I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT I HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM MUSIC FOR AWHILE AND HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE BOTH OF YOU.

IF AT ALL POSSIBLE COULD YOU GIVE ME A LIST OF YOUR ALBUMS. I WOULD TRULY BE INTERESTED IN LISTENING TO THEM ALL. I HAVE BOOKMARKED  BOTH SITES AND WILL BE VISITING THEM OFTEN. COULD YOU TELL RITCHIE THAT I SAID  "HEY".  THANKS AGAIN AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

THANKS AGAIN,
JOE


Hello Joe,
On behalf of Ritchie and myself I'd like to say Welcome Back! Ritchie and I started making music on record together back in 1995 when he recorded the album Stranger In Us All with Rainbow. At that time the band was in a farm in Massachusetts writing songs and there was about 6 feet of snow which kept them indoors for weeks at a time. It must have been very hard to create like that and Ritchie would often call me up at our home and play the backing tracks that they were having a hard time coming up with lyrics for. So, I wrote the lyrics for 3 songs (Black Masquerade, Wolf to the Moon and Hall Of The Mountain King ) on that album and then Ritchie decided to give Rainbow a song that him and I had written previously. The name of that song is Ariel and you can hear me clearly as the ghostly voice at the end of that song. I did some background vocal work with Ritchie on the song Apache on the Twang! Tribute to the Shadows album and I did a guest featured vocal spot on 3 songs with Sabine from Edensbridge and Tarja from Nightwish on Beto Vasquez's Infinity album. But as far as our Blackmore's Night albums are concerned- at this point there are 4 albums with our 5th one, Ghost of a Rose to be released around July 2003. The first one was Shadow of the Moon (1997), Under A Violet Moon was album number 2 (1999) , the third was Fires At Midnight (2001) and our last one released earlier this year was a double live CD called Past Times With Good Company. I believe all of them are available in major retail stores, but its probably easier to get them on CDnow.com
or Amazon.com so they can come right to your door!
Love and light,
Candice
