GLENN HUGHES IN CONVERSATION WITH MICK WALL & JON HOTTEN

Singer, bassist, and songwriter Glenn Hughes is a living, breathing embodiment of British rock, and his is a compelling story. Starting out in the 60s with beat combo Finders Keepers, he formed acclaimed funk-rock band Trapeze, then joined Deep Purple at their commercial peak. Flying around the world in the band’s own jet, Hughes enthusiastically embraced the rock’n’roll lifestyle. He played on three Purple albums, including the classic Burn.

When Deep Purple split up in 1976, Hughes embarked on a series of solo albums, collaborations, and even a brief spell fronting Black Sabbath before surviving a clean-up-or-die crisis and recovering to rebuild his solo career.

Once described by Stevie Wonder as his favourite white singer, he achieved international fame with Deep Purple, and has since collaborated with artists including Tony Iommi, The KLF, and members of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. He formed his new group, Black Country Communion, in 2010.

We are delighted to announce that Glenn will appear in conversation with Mick & Jon on Monday 20th October.
