Hello Nick - I have a question about your past. I have read in some biographies that you had a very short spell in the band Cyrano and the Bergeracs. Is this true? If so can you remember the name of the drummer at the time? Was it Alan Camplin? Alan is unfortunately no longer with us, but he was my Wife's uncle and we are currently putting together a family tree and want to find out a bit more about this part of his life. Thanks, Stu.
Hey Nick, it's James, the young chap who was talking 2 pete parks at the good old boys gig in the Red Lion.
Just to say thankyou for a wicked gig and hope it see you again soon.
Jim
Hello Nick long time no see how's it going?
We must have last spoke at Elsie's funeral.
I tried to send you a poem about Morrie but was never sure whether you would have got it or not as I tried to send it via the Good Old Boys website. I have been wondering lately about seeing you play at one of your gigs.
I hope all is is well with you and Janet and the rest of the family.
All the best mate Neil (I gave you the picture of Mosh at Elsie's funeral.)

Hi Nick & Janet:
Here I am in Atlanta waiting the birth of my 1st grandchild. Nicole and Greg have gone to the hospital as I write. Uncle Jeff and Granann are waiting anxiously for the arrival of "Bennett (Ben) Wylie Sword.
Just had a look at your website with Jeff and looks great. Happy belated 60th!

P.S.: The e-mail above is my home address. Love to hear from you and Janet in the future. I'll be back in Vancouver late April.
Hi Nicky,
It's very great to find your website.
I live in Argentina and for several years admired your works not Deep Purple only but the amazing Warhorse and Fandango too.
In my country I managed the DP Official Club and
some years ago I make a writing interview for you and sent through Peter from Angel Air but I was not lucky with the answers. It would be very good if it could get his answer for our magazine. Some comments about your life in all this years.
But in any case I want to tell you that you're a fantastic musician.
Best wishes,
Gabriel

It's wonderful to find that you have a web site Nicky and hope to come to one of your gigs quite soon.In the meantime it will be interesting to go back over the Deep Purple history as I just about remember the excitment of those early years and your talks with my brother Pete.
Best wishes

Nick has confirmed that the gig at the Sportsman is on the 18th March, not February. Apologies for the confusion Charlie.
Hi,
The gig list at present shows the Boys playing on 18th February at The Sportsman. Can you confirm? The Sportsman list has the band down for 18th March!
Cheers,
Charlie
How's great to tells respect for Mr.Parks and Mr.Simper! You should place here the history of your friendship, good old boys! It's a pleasure to be here.
I am happy to confirm that I was number 3 in the food chain that led to the formation of Adelle`s excellent band . Nicky Simper and Ivan Izikovitz were number 4 and number 5 respectively . I hope this clears up any confusion . The band has great potential and will undoubtably be a milestone in Nick`s career .
I read your interview with interest, it was my understanding that Jim Byers and Adelle Kirk played in a band a couple of years ago and she left to do a couple of albums with Bascilica. She called Jim on return to London and asked him to put a band together. I have not heard the band yet, but have heard a lot of good things about them. I have known Jim and Adelle for some time, and while they wouldn't care who got the credit for putting the band together I think it's important people get the facts right. Look forward to hearing you sometime, say hi to Jim and Adelle (two Ls).
Nick Simper in Cologne.
In Cologne takes place an exhibition about Deep Purple from 06th of January to 3rd of March.
Evi Ivan - an artist in Germany is painting portraits of Deep Purple members (with Nick - of course). Also we have Concerts and other special evenings. We hope to see Nick and some members of the band in Cologne.
More you can see on our website www.k-8.de (flyer)
We hope to see you there.
Great to see your own website, Nick! LOVE your work with Warhorse a lot!Have a good start into the new year, mate, and keep on making music!
Greetings from Germany,
