You and ritchie are my idols.  I have discography of Blackmore's Night, I love all songs my boyfriend and me, we loved "No second chances" and "ghost of a rose" we hoped to see them this year in Chile to see the songs a live you, my english is really bad, I'm sorry.. 
I wanted to know if they traveled to Chile? Thank you very much by everything I hope to have answer
Kisses and love
Lady_Beth...

Hello Dear Lady Beth,
I am sorry it has taken a while to get back to you. You must understand that I get so many wonderful letters...I wish that I could respond to all of them right away, but it is impossible. So I ask that you be patient with me...I will respond to everyone no matter how long it takes. Although we haven't been to South America yet with this project, I was there once before, a long time ago, with Rainbow when they performed there. I thought that Chile was incredibly beautiful and the reflections of the snow covered mountains will always stay in my mind. You must be surrounded by beauty there...and may you always be...
I am glad to hear that you like the music so much! Thank you! I hope to be able to come to Chile one day and sing Ghost of a Rose and No Second Chances with you...
Love and light,
Candice


Dear Candice,
I am writing just to thank you for your songs, which are  full of life! You know, every night there are a lot of  stars in the sky and sometimes the moon. And in those  hours when my bedroom is filled with moonlight I just  cannot stand on the place I want to dance. There is music  and some kind of tremor in my heart, and when I heard your music for the first time I understood that it was the same music, that played in my heart. O, thank you again,
Candice!
And could you tell me more about the Renaissance festival  and where does it take place?
Best regards,
Dima. 

Hello Dima,
What a beautiful letter! Yes- I hope you are dancing in the moonight with a million stars smiling down upon you as you read this. As for the faires- I wish everyone had a chance to experience at least one! It will show you a world that you can only imagine. A world so different than what we see every day. And the people all think like you and I. They do dance in the moonlight and dream. I have been to faires in Arizona, Massachusettes, Connecticut, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Germany. They are all so very different from each other, but with a similar theme. To exist to transport you to another place and time. You can see the list here:

Love, Candice


Hello and Merry Meet!!  
I never thought this was ever possible.  To speak directly with you like this and that you answer.  Because I never bothered to visit your website, just Blackmore's Night's. This is a wonderful part of your gorgeous website.  Let me tell you, I felt in love with you!  No, no.  I'm not a maniac or anything of that nature.  You know what I mean.  I've fallen in love with the image, the music, the message, the voice(surely lovely may I say).  I've always been a huge Dio fan and also followed his career with Rainbow and Black Sabbath.  So, when I learned Richie had a new band who played medieval and the like music I could't wait.  I've been a Pagan for some time now and knew this music would just fascinate me.  And well, I was so right about that.  I'm in love!  With all due respect to Richie, lol!!!   Hey, give me a break.  I'm a single never been married 39 year old and you're just so lovely and sing like an angel and you're into some of the same interests as me, like fantasy, the music, the spirit world, fairies, and more.  No, I just want to put a smile on your face.  Don't take this too seriously, just laugh!  But I am kicking myself that I didn't meet you before him!  LOL!!  ok, just laugh please. I hope I'm not being disrespectful.  IT was the last thing on my mind.  The song the Spirit of the Sea makes me cry, I love it.  Overall I love this genre.  the message is just so much more deep and profound.  Thank you Candice for sharing all those wonders of your music, lyrics, beauty and more with us.  How can we ever repay you?

Hello,
Believe me...by writing that email...you just did.....
Love,
Candice



Dear Candice
My name is omar. I am from Iraq , baghdad
I love your songs and they way you sing , you are one of the best lady singers in this decade and may be for the next decade ,
Fires at midnight is my favorite song.
The music in these days is cheap and makes everyone gets sick , bad singers enter the highest positions in uk and billboard charts and other talented musician dont , I never saw a video clip of yours , I dont know why the channels dont broadcast your videos , I saw your photo from the internet only.
I wish I can say to you that I love you to be here in baghdad , but you know the bad situation we suffer from here , there is no security because of the terrorists , as an iraqi I want to thank you as american for liberating us from the monster who was supposed to be our president.
Well I am waiting for your latest cd to arrive here in baghdad (ghost of a
rose) , I loved fires at midnight , the same for shadow of the moon ,and under a violet moon.
I wish all the best for you candice , here is my photo , can you send me a photo of yours.
Waiting for your reply
Omar

Dear Omar,
Thank you for your beautiful letter. I can't even imagine what you must have gone through and what you are going through now. I am so glad that you are finally free of such an evil dictator and I am so glad that you wrote to me to tell me your feelings on what is happening there. I think that a lot of people all over the world are hearing rumors and gossip and stories that may not be true and they base their opinions on what they are being told by their television sets. But you, who are strong and brave enough to have to deal with the situation every day, who has seen the truth and shared your feelings with me, you may open the eyes of a lot of people who read this site and allow them to see what is really happening there and show them that you now have a real chance at freedom. And I wish for you more strength for the days ahead- the struggle continues but you must believe me that , eventually, the good will overcome all of the bad. I wish for you hope and may all you wish for be within your reach. And I wish for you happiness and a life free of monsters. I am closing my eyes and wishing will all my might that you get all of these things. Thank you for the photo you sent. You can see my photos anytime you wish at:

Hi Candice
Your music even stretches to South Africa! I am a performing musician here and was introduced to your music a few months back and it has just blown me away. To finally hear someone that plays my kind of music is such a pleasure. Thanks. The song Past time with good company- where does that come from? The music and the lyrics are so apt and the music so beautiful. When are you coming over here to perform?
Love and Light
Suzinn

Hello Suzinn,
Wow- that is quite a way! I actually was just going through  a brochure given to me by a frend who runs a safari company there. That is something I have always wanted to do! To see those incredible animals in their natural habitat...it must just be breathtaking!I would love to come there and perform (and maybe see the animals on a day off? ) To answer your question: Past Times With Good Company is a song that was originally written by the King Of England: King Henry the 8th. Believe it or not, not only was Henry known for beheading his wives, but also for being quite a poet and composer as well! Unless he just stole the songs and beheaded the minstrels that really wrote them, but I guess we'll never know the truth about that. I like to think that he was just a tormented soul with a poet's heart that was just looking for true love and unable to find it because women were more taken by his title and power than they were by him as a person. It must have been very difficult for him to find someone truly interested in him as a person...how sad. I do love the line "For idleness is chief mistress of vices all..." You can find many traditional purist bands performing this song if you run a search on the internet for it. Their versions are a lot closer to how it would have really sounded in those days than ours are...we rocked ours up a bit. But a wonderful song in all.
Love,
Candice
