Burn - Deep Purple Tribute

Burn is a tribute act performing the music of Deep Purple, at The Citadel in St Helens. The evening is a tribute, not a performance by the original band.

Deep Purple were formed in Hertford, England, in 1968, and became one of the defining hard rock bands of the early 1970s. Their line-up in that period included Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and Ian Paice. Their best-known songs include "Smoke on the Water", from the 1972 album Machine Head, "Highway Star" and "Child in Time". Their heavy, organ-driven sound is widely cited as an influence on later heavy metal.

Burn is a tribute to Deep Purple and is not the original band. The show is built around the music of Deep Purple, so it suits listeners who know those records and want to hear them played live by a tribute act.

The Citadel is a venue in St Helens that hosts concerts and shows. The night is aimed at rock audiences who follow Deep Purple's catalogue and its hard rock lineage.
