DEEP PURPLE to take part in LONDON’s SUNFLOWER JAM in September

According to The Highway Star, DEEP PURPLE's Roger Glover, Ian Paice and Jon Lord will take part in the Sunflower Jam 2007, a fundraising event organized by the British charity Sam Buxton Sunflower Healing Trust. Both Jacky Paice and Vickie Lord are involved with the Trust, so participation of their husbands is almost a given. The 2007 Jam is following the success of the Sunflower Jam 2006, which raised £90,000, and will take place on Thursday, September 20 at The Porchester Halls, London W2.

This year's Jam includes STATUS QUO, Beverley Knight, Gary Moore, Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS), Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Jon Lord, Margo Buchanan, Paul "Wix" Wickens, Nick Fyffe, Steve Balsamo and Aitch McRobbie. There will be a champagne reception, a dinner prepared once again by Paul Clerehugh of the Crooked Billet, an auction hosted by Jeremy Irons, a raffle and a few surprises along the way.
