Simon McBride – Playing With Deep Purple, Awesome New Pedalboard, Engl Amp & More!
Simon drops in to collect his new pedalboard and treat us to some jaw-dropping playing
Welcome to the show! It’s a treat to welcome back an old mate, Simon McBride to the studio. He has (relatively) recently taken on one of the biggest gigs in rock as the guitar player in none other than Deep Purple!
In this show we talk through Simon’s Purple experience and take a walk through the pedalboard he’ll be using for the next big tour with the band. As ever, Simon’s incredibly melodic and mercurial playing is equal parts inspiring and astounding, so sit back and enjoy the stories and tones.
