This week is a special one as I chat to the legend that is Ian Gillan, lead singer and frontman of Deep Purple, who’ve been going for 50 + years and released 24 albums! He talks about the latest album ‘ Splat!’ and his forthcoming spoken word tour ‘Talking Gibberish’ in 2027. The featured album is from new supergroup Iconic; we celebrate the original Monsters of Rock festival held at Donington, plus the usual rock history, rock news and rare track chosen by a listener.
