Between Us

December 2003

"If you have a question for me, enter this room. It exists just for us. A place for you to come to ask me whatever you wish. A chance for us to get closer. Share your thoughts, tell me your story, ask me your questions. They will be answered."


From: Jan

HI Candice, I got just one little question I hope you can answer me. Sometime ago I read on some page of a castlehotel that this would be also yours and Richies favourite to come to from time to time. It was a castle that also offers visitor rooms for the "normal" citizens. Maybe you know which castle I am talking about and I would be very happy could you tell me the name and maybe also a weblink to it, because I want to make someone a little present. Best regards, Jan

Hello Jan, Ritchie and I have been very lucky as far as staying in castles goes. Each place you go to has its own identity and you could swear that if you keep very still , the castle walls will share their stories with you. And they have many! Here are a few of our favorite castles to stay in while in Germany. I hope that everything works out with your present! Love, Candice

Hi Candice,
My name is Craig and I live near Cheltenham where you will be playing on 13th November. Both my wife Kate and I are really looking forward to seeing you. It is so nice for a world famous band to have such a warm human touch  and allow fans to contact you.

When I was 12 back in 1978 I first heard Ritchies guitar playing and it inspired me to pick up the guitar myself. I am now writing my own songs now very much on the same sort of theme as Blackmores Night. I love your music its so enchanting and so restful and one never knows how empty their soul is, until it is filled by your melodies.

Will you and Ritchie PLEASE sign my Ghost of a Rose album at the Cheltenham concert? Kate and I will be in the 2nd row dressed up.

Blessed Be
Craig

Dear Craig,

Thank you so much for your beautiful words. They are such a precious gift. Keep writing and playing and creating your own magic. I hope that we did sign for you!! (Weren't sure which two your and Kate were! )
Much love,
Candice

Jonas

Hello Jonas,

Thanks for writing. It sounds like you are having a lot of wonderful times with the bands that you have. Keep it fun! And I think that it is great that you are keeping classic rock alive, as well as also having the variety of performing other music as well.
We were supposed to have our DVD released this year. It has amazing footage from Wartburg Castle in Germany to Solingen Castle. But unfortunately we are waiting for the record company which has put everything back. I hope to have better news for you about it next year. I hope we all won't have to wait too long!
We are planning to come back to Sweden next year! I will see you then...
Keep making music... and have a great holiday and New Year. May you get all you desire...
Love and light,
Candice

Dear Candice,How  about  the next  tour featuring 2 amazing bands in one incredible night of music: Blackmore:s Night  with very special guests All About Eve! Love & Thanks,Ron Parke

Hi Ron,

That is so interesting that you say that...I have them in my CD player right now and am singing along to Martha's Harbor! A very close friend of mine, Johanna Pieterman, who is the brilliant artist who drew the Ghost of a Rose and the Shadow of the Moon covers for us was the one who had first turned me on to All About Eve. I do play them often and have turned quite a few friends on to their music here in the US. I'd love to do some kind of tour or even festival, with bands that kind of defy boundary and are able to retain the mystery. Ritchie and I talk about that all the time! Maybe a Maggie Reilly, Michael Oldfield, All About Eve, Pentagle, Jethro Tull, Maddy Prior , Renaissance...the ideas are brewing! I will mention it before the next tour as an idea to our booking agent. Thanks for motivating me!
Love,
Candice
