Hiya Kurt,
I'm in the UK & found your website. Interesting!.. although I can only understand a bit of Danish...... I have a question; did you maybe see DEEP PURPLE play in Denmark in April/May 1968 when they were called Roundabout??
All the best,
Tonny

Hi Tonny,
thanks for writing, I'm glad to hear from people all over the world. That's why I recently decided to translate my homepage into English:
http://www.cykelkurt.com/front-page-ENGLISH.html
So far 4 articles are ready,
"Studio Kurt",
"The Story of Kurt",
The Rock Scene of the Sixties plus
"Wrenching at the Sixes" (this one I translated from English into Danish).
About Deep Purple / Roundabout,
oh, I always admired guitarist Richie Blackmore, he had a wonderful sound and a wonderful style. He had many admirers in Denmark among guitarists. I had this purple-coulored LP called "Shades of Deep Purple", until I sold all vinyls and converted to CD.

Thanks again
Kurt

Hi’ Tonny,
I got your request from Kurt.
Deep Purple played their first gigs in Denmark – as Roundabout in 1968 and later they returned as Deep Purple (Mark I) in January 1969.
De var her allesammen (næsten)...Best wishes
(They were all here...well nearly)

Hej Kurt
Så på din hjemmeside at du konflekterede med en udenlandsk person vedr. hvornår Deep Purple spillede i Danmark under andet navn.
Det kan jeg oplyse, at det var i Roskilde på Fjordvilla, under navnet St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
