Ian Paice - Gary Moore Band

Gary Moore Band

In November 1982 Ian Paice joined Gary Moore for an album date ("Corridors of Power"). It turned out so nicely that Moore's manager came up with the idea of Moore and Paice putting a band together under Moore's name, so that his management would take the business side of the project with Paice having a sizable interest in the band.

The collaboration turned out to be a successful one and produced a couple of albums and extensive tours. Ian Paice left Moore's band in April 1984 to rejoin Deep Purple, and he remains in Deep Purple to the present day.

    It is a great shock at the age of five or six to find that in a world of Gary Coopers you are the Indian.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    The Irish say your trouble is their
    trouble and your
    joy their joy? I wish
    I could believe it;
    I am troubled, I’m dissatisfied, I’m Irish.
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    There was a young lady called Gloria
    Who was had by Sir Gerald Du Maurier
    And then by six men
    And Sir Gerald again
    And the band of the Waldorf-Astoria.
