Hello I thought I should tell you that I
think you have a fabulous voice. I however
had never heard of you before until we were
looking for Ritch Blackmores cd's as My
hubby and I have been for a very long time
Fans of Rainbow and Deep Purple. We came
across the Cd Blackmore's Night "Fires At
Midnight" which I play constantly as it is
very relaxing. Unfortunately I do not have
any other Blackmore Nights cd's at present
but will keep on looking, when I can. I am
how ever glad that I came across this on
Google and have now registered for up dates.
I guess You may not get the chance to read
this email,. As you have so many avid fans.
Also a busy life.
An avid listener of your music, who thought
Steve Nicks was Good your much better
Glad to of heard of you
Debs
Hi Debs,
Wow you said the magic words- Stevie Nicks
is one of my all time favorites. That was
really nice of you to say that....
In case you havent found the rest of our cds
yet- and after 11 years there's quite a few
now as well as 2 dvds!
Here's some links to help you expand your
collection:
our website offers most of them: http://www.blackmoresnight.com/merch/merch_cds.html
or you can go to http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=blackmore%27s+night
as they offer everything we've ever done....
My suggestion? Get the latest one "Secret
Voyage" and work your way backwards through
the other cds- its like a trip through
time...
Enjoy!
Much love,
Candice
Dear Candice!
I was thinking a lot of time, what can I
tell you. And after few hours I realized
that I have no idea! Of course, I can talk
about my fascinating in your music, your
brilliant magic lyrics... But all people can
tell you something like this. Maybe some
excuse will be that I'm still learning
English and I'm sure here are many mistakes
(so sorry for them ;) ).
First of all, I have to ask you - please,
come to Poland soon! I'm 18 and I'm dreaming
about listening you not from CD or DVD...
And one more question - what is this song
during Home Again on the latest DVD? That
about drink... And of course innocent girls
;)
Kisses for You and Ritchie
Olga
Hello dear Olga!
I do hope that you were able to come see us
perform in the town square of Plock when we
played Poland a few months ago! What a fun
time we had.... We do love coming to Poland
and I hope to play there again next year as
well....Someday I will actually play in or
around the town of my ancestors: Bialystock-
I hope so anyway!
Your English is excellent! Much better than
my Polish!
The songs that Bard David sings so
eloquently is a song called: Drink Drink
Drink sung by Mario Lanza originally from
the Student Prince.
Much love and see you in Poland! Dobrze !
Candice
Hi Candice,
I am Eduard Zehrt and I am a pianist. I play
at school concerts and I have been
wondering, can you speak Greek? Because you
have a song called “Home Again” which is
sung in Greek. In addition, that is why I
enjoy listening it. The three songs that I
like are “Morning Star”, “Renaissance Fair”
and “Play Minstrel Play”. PLEASE continue
composing because I LOVE your songs.
Hello Eduard,
I have quite a few friends from the Greeks
Islands, but unfortunately, no I can't speak
that beautiful language. I learned the
translation of Home Again phonetically and
it was translated by our Greek record
company. I did the same process with Streets
of London in French; Ma O Tzur in Hebrew and
the Provincial French beginning of Mid
Winters Night.
Thanks for your question, and your
compliments!
Love,
Candice
Hi Candice !
I would like to write some words to you then
I like your music since years.I`m living in
Rostock in the north of Germany,so my
english is not so good,sorry.We often came
to your concerts in the south of germany and
it always was great.But I also found out
that many people here in the north dont know
you and I find it very sad.We have not so
good Places to start Concerts here ,I know
but would it be
possible to open a Fan Office for you here
in Rostock for North Germany? I would like
to do it.Could you think about it
and send me an answer? It would be nice.Many
gretings to you and Ritchie.
Your Fan Olaf
Hello Olaf,
I think that would be a wonderful idea!
There are many amazing fans that we have
become friends with over the years who can
help you start out and supply you with all
you need to help spread the word. If you'd
like to be a part of our street team that
would also be wonderful! It basically means
just going to put postcards or posters in
your local music shops, handing out flyers
at medieval fairs or concerts and generally
raising awareness of the band in any stores
or situations that you think would work. In
your area the people who can get you started
are Susanne or Rainer and you can contact
them here:
http://www.blackmoresnight.de/
Thanks for your help , tell them I send a
kiss their way when you speak to them... and
one to you of course as well!
Love,
Candice
Hi Candice!
My question(s):
How can it be, that your voice, your sang
words touches my soul so deeply? Why is my
world sometimes just “black”, “more” than
the “night” can be dark…..Why do I get some
hope, when I listen to you? Why does nobody
“hear my voice”, like you in the end of “the
village lanterne”? Why do I write this
senseless mail? Just for a small answer!!
Goodbye, love and light
Dietmar
Dear Dietmar,
Because your soul is sensitive to touch.
Because the night eventually gives itself to
the light of morning, but black is always in
itself black. Because if you look for hope,
it will find you. I hear your voice. And I
will answer....
Love and light,
Candice
Dear Candice,
I absolutely, positively LOVE Blackmore's
Night, but I have one question that is
absolutely, positively burning a hole in my
brain.
What the heck is an electric bagpipe?! How
does it work? Does the electric part just
handle amplification, or does it blow up the
bag part? OK, I know, I know, that's three
questions, but I'm curious! I was trying to
figure out what the bagpipe-like sound was
that I was hearing (I've downloaded most of
your albums from iTunes rather than buying
the CDs due to storage space issues in my
overcrowded-with-books-and-musical-instruments
flat) -- it didn't sound quite like a
traditional bagpipe, but it didn't sound
like a uilleann pipe either... what key are
the electric bagpipes tuned to? Are they
concert pitch, or something else? What's
their range? Wow, I am just full of
questions tonight! I can tell I'm bouncing
off the walls, LOL! Too much chocolate. ;-)
Keep the music playing!
~Sal
Hi Sal,
Good question! I have 2 electric bagpipes.
They dont have a bag, you can either plug
them into an amp or they may come with their
own speaker which is on the actual unit. To
hear the one I played, listen to our song
Mid Winters Night. Here is the one that I
had that included the speaker within the
unit: http://www.hotpipes.com/ross.html . It
works by the contact of your fingers on the
metal dots. Your fingers must be a bit moist
in order to play it or it wont recognize a
contact. You can tune it depending on how
many of the "dots" you are covering, that
will correspond to different keys. It will
have a continuous drone. Then again if you
don't want the drone, you can always just
play the bagpipe chanter, which you can hear
me doing on I Guess It Doesn't Matter
Anymore. So many variations of bagpipes an
play with, without the actual bag!
I suddenly have the urge to go have a piece
of chocolate...
Thanks for your question!
Love and light,
Candice
