Rather than try to include links to every Deep Purple-related site out there, we're just including some of our favourite places to go to - either because they're useful for news, good to look at, or well put together (and sometimes all three!).
Very much an official offering, still well worth putting in your faves folder for gig news etc.
Glenn's official site. Constantly updated, very 'newsy'. Worth a regular visit.
Ian's own site, to which he regularly adds news and info, as well as his infamous stream of consciousness newsletters which are worth a look (and hopefully one day a book!) in their own right! Check out the regular Q&A sessions.
Steve's excellent official site, which mostly caters for his solo activities. His letters from the road are a real highlight, plus the occasional Q&A sessions.
New website with details of the new Daisley / Kerslake / Morse / Barnes / Airey project.
A good website with involvement from Joe, brimming with news of everything that he's been up to recently. The JLT Fan Club can be contacted from the site.
Nigel Young's labour of love, an almost complete Purple gig list from 1968 onwards is still the best out there, even though problems with wholesale pinching have meant it will not be upgraded further until the long-awaited book version hits the shelves.
Martin Ashberry's page is great for keeping up with what's available on 'live import' cd, coupled with a gig list including mk.7's exhaustive tours.
Excellent site devoted to 'Voices of Classic Rock' such as Glenn Hughes and Joe Lynn Turner. Lots of news, interviews and downloads.
Don's official site, seldom updated.
deep-purple.com "The official Deep Purple site for all press and promoters and anything business related.."

A good source of mk8 tour reviews and snaps. There are archives to dip into containing some interesting bits and pieces.
Heroically compiled by Brian Currin, in the face of heavy casualty rates among sites. A breathtaking A-Z of Purple family pages.
"Deep Purple's Offical Fan Community website." Early days for a new official site with some band input.
Very slick looking official Thames / Thompson site based in Australia. Very seldom updated.
Smart looking official site, best viewed with a broadband connection. After a slow start, the site has come to life. David regularly takes part in the discussion page.
Roger's official site, with plenty of input from the man himself.
A good website run by a passionate fan of the band.
Blog-styled official website, off to a busy start.
Lovingly put together by friends and fans of Tommy Bolin. Well worth exploring.
New Nick SImper website with input from the man himself. Early days, but worth keeping an eye on.
The official TBA website, mainly a merchandising site with details of their latest releases.
Great site. Every issue of the 1979-1984 Dutch Rainbow fan club's magazine online, (now in English as well as Dutch!), plus lots of other coverage of Rainbow and it's offshoots, including Blackmore's Night.
New website from Drew Thompson, with video footage, and audio links for the forthcoming album.
