The rock legend Ian Gillan is coming to Budapest in this autumn for one unique concert with the songs of Deep Purple. His unique voice is instantly recognisable, this was the reason why he became famous as the second solo singer of Deep Purple.

The talented musician was born in Hounslow, England in 1945. In early days he was heavily influenced by the young Elvis Presley, as well as Little Richard, Buddy Holly. He met with the bassist Roger Glover when he was 20 years old, and he joined the harmony group Episode Six in 1965.

They learned their trade touring with Dusty Springfield and and performing five shows a night – eight on weekends – at joints like The Storyville Clubs in Köln and Frankfurt, as well as a long stint at the Casino du Lebanon near Beirut.

The real breakthrough, however, brought him to 1969's second solo artists of the band Deep Purple. His hard, sonorous voice and his huge voice extent contributed to the success of the band, which was on the top at those times.
