Please take a moment to sign a petition which is attempting to get the music of Jon Lord featured at this year's BBC Proms and support this effort to raise the profile of Jon's music (Concerto For Group & Orchestra, Gemini Suite, Windows, Sarabande, Before I Forget, Pictured Within, Beyond The Notes, Durham Concerto, Boom Of The Tingling Strings, To Notice Such Things, From Darkness To Light, Zarabanda Solitaria, Pictures Of Home, Child In Time and more).
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/jon-lord-for-the-bbc-proms-2012/This accolade is long overdue. Why Jon's music hasn't been featured by the Proms before now is a mystery!
If you've enjoyed Jon's music and his career with The Artwoods, Deep Purple, Paice, Ashton & Lord and Whitesnake, this is a simple but vocal way of showing your appreciation to one of the nicest guys in the music business.
Paul Mann, Jon's management and the official website (
http://www.jonlord.org) are supporting the petition.
It only takes a minute – really! And it is safe. You can be anonymous if you choose.
If you have already signed this (over 3,300 have), thank you. Tell all of your friends.
A new studio recording of Concerto For Group & Orchestra is due for release later this year.
The 2012 Proms will run from 13th July to 8th September.
Wishing Jon a speedy and complete return to full health.
