Hello
Candice,
Greetings from Bulgaria!My name is Krasimir
Hristov and I love your music.I have been
your fan since I first heard “Wish You
Were Here”,which is still one of my
favorite songs.I also listen to Ritchie’s
Deep Purple and Rainbow but Blackmore’s
Night is his best band yet.Your melodious
voice and Ritchie’s skilful guitar playing
merge into one – Magic.I’ve been
wondering if you would come too,for you have
a lot of fans here.If you are not coming,do
you think of visiting our country again?
Yours sincerely,
Krasimir
Hello Krasimir!
Thank you for your kind words...It's true-
it had been quite a while since we had played
in Bulgaria... So on April 17th, 2007 we made
our return with new minstrels and new songs.
You can read all about the show, and see the
photos here.
Hope you were there!
Love,
Candice
Dear Candice; i am writing
to you feeling a bit neglected. I do not
mean me personally, rather the country i am
living in, USA. I have
been waiting for the band to show up here
for some time and have not
seen any dates in 2006 and 2007. Have i missed
any?? I cant help but
feel that Ritchie wants to avoid the United
States, are my feelings
true? and if so, why? Sure we have problems
here, but its a great
country with a proud history.
I hope you can convince Ritchie that there
are fans here that are not
a&%holes and many fans that love his music.
I think avoiding the whole
country is plain ridiculous.
Sad Regards,
Fares Lahoud
P.S. My wife and I
recently bought an old tavern in Rhode Island(c.
1700). I would love for you to perform here,
i will open my doors for
you and camera crew if you want to film.
Hello Fares,
Thank you for your questions. Of course
we aren't avoiding the USA, its just very
difficult to get promoters to do shows here
if you aren't an arena band. We do have
tourdates booked for the US for 2007 with
more being added all the time. Check the
tour
dates page for up to the minute information
on the latest dates and where to get tickets.
I can't undertand why you would think that
Ritchie would want to avoid to play here.
Sounds like a bit of paranoia to me....
He has chosen to make this country his home
since 1975. I was born here and most of
our band is from the states. We are all
proud citizens and extremely patriotic.
So, your comment is, to me, very strange
and unfounded. We know that there are many
fans as well as friends here who are as
excited as seeing the band as we are to
play for them. No one is "avoiding"
anything.
Your tavern sounds interesting. Perhaps
when we play up in your area we will stop
in for a drink.
Otherwise, I hope you will venture out to
a surrounding area to see some of our shows.
Many fans follow the band and travel to
see quite a few in a row.
Regards in return,
Candice
Hi Candice
In Aylesbury last year we called out to
Ritchie that we too were from the gloripu
Weston-Super-Mare.....did he hear us? If
not, ask him if he remembers Dolphin Square
market...
On our travels we have also visited Cartouche
in Prague and New Hope PA....and are still
following your lead.
Sue, Bristol, England
Hello Sue
Ritchie isn't familiar with Dophin Square,
but he says "What about Headley Park
?" He said since you're from Bristol-
you'd know of it. He also says next time
youre in the States, try Bube's Brewery-
You won't be disappointed!
Hope to see you at some of the English shows
in June!
Love,
Candice
Hi I like you're music, have a few "Cd's".
Anyway, I noticed a photo of you Shooting
a bow. I shoot when I can and love it, but
I tore a "Rotator Cuff". I was hoping
to get information about "Archery"
?
Thanks
Patti
Hi Patti,
Sorry to hear about your accident. Yes, we
have a bow. Pretty old fashioned, we don't
use the pulley systems or anything, but we
do have targets set up in our yard so that
we can shoot throughout the year or whenever
we're feeling a bit competitive. Actually,
it is a great party activity too! And occaisionally
we tie sparklers to the arrows and shoot them
into the water here, its really beautiful
to watch the flaming arrows streak through
the sky...
Love and light,
Candice
Are you and Richie going
to do a tour in England some time. My husband
and me are both admirers of your band.
Love the pic of your cat. I'm a cat fanatic
myself - have British shorthairs.
Best wishes
Elizabeth
Hello Elizabeth and your
furry friends!
Yes! We will be in England, Scotland and Wales
in June! Check the tourdates page of blackmoresnight.com
for the exact places. Thanks for the note
about Hopscotch. He enjoyed your compliment!
Love and light,
Candice
I just wanted to email to
say how much I enjoy your music. I came
to see you at Aylesbury last Halloween and
thoroughly enjoy it.
I listen your music all the time and feel
so at peace and contented whilst listening,
I find it helps me to make contact with
the Spirit world as I am a Spiritualist
medium and find it easier to link with them
after listening to it.
I would love to be able to use one of the
instrumental pieces as a meditation with
a voice over and wondered if you and Richie
would have any objections to me doing this.
I would love to hear from you, I am also
working as a resident medium for a German
website Licht Heilt but I do live in the
UK.
It is lovely to write to you, I have been
meaning to do it for a long time.
In love and light
Jan. xx
Hello Jan,
How wonderful to be able to be involved
in the world of mediumship and healing.
And what a great compliment that our music
help you to bridge the worlds. Thank you.
Of course you can use one of the instrumentals
and do a voice over to it for a meditation
piece. No objections here at all...
We enjoyed the Licht Heilt website...its
always nice to put a face to the email!
Thanks again for your letter...
Love and light to you as well,
Candice
