Sorry to say, due to a hearing problem that I have been dealing with for the last 4 years, I am having to leave the band Taste Of Purple.     I am sorry to leave the band without a keyboard player and hope they keep playing Purple, with or without a keyboardist.     I have played with these guys for the last 6 years and it's been great to play Deep Purple together; it is something that I will always look back on as one of the most, if not the most, enjoyable live bands I've play in.     I am proud to have played with the band.     If you have been to see us over the last 6 years, thankyou for your support.

Take care everyone and see you around.

Thank you,
Neil Haynes.
