I Does anyone know where I can find out more about any of the other band members? Lizzy 16:21, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I am working on small profiles of the other band members but will check they arn't listed elsewhere as they are all muscians in their own rights outside Blackmores Night. --Paulw99 21:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I am currently working on a page about Tudor Rose (real name Tina Chancey) for incusion into Wikipedia and will link it here as soon as its complete. She is a well known musician in her own right as a founding member and Co-director of Hesperus (there is a page about Hesperus else where on Wikipedia), is also a former member of the Folger Consort, the Ensemble for Early Music and the New York Renaissance Band. --Paulw99 10:58, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Isn't Night the wife of Blackmore? Should that be mentioned here? Parasyte941 17:57, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * On her webpage, Candice Night says, "We are not married even though we are together." So, as of December 2004 at least, no. Shadowoftime 00:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I think one of their songs was the basis of the JibJab webcartoon "Its Time for some Campaignin'".Green Herring (talk) 20:31, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

JibJab's 'It's Time for Some Campaigning' is based off the song 'The Times they are A-Changing' which was originally by Bob Dylan; though Blackmore's Night also did a cover of this song.Wocrepus (talk) 19:00, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

American?
I noticed Blackmore's Night is categorized by Wikipedia as an "American Musical Group." But are they really American? I know deep purple is considered a British band and Blackmore's Night CDs always come out in Europe before they come out in America. Shadowoftime 18:51, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I have asked the management this question and as Ritchie Blackmore is now resident In Long Island, NY the band is considered as being American. --Paulw99 21:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

The articel says "They have also performed the music for Magi Quest, a live simulation game located along the east coast. Their manager, Carole Stevens is Candice Night's mother.[1]". To which east coast is this referring, UK, US, France, Spain, Italy?--ManInStone 09:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

France doesn't have an east coast. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.242.112.229 (talk) 17:03, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Review
Somebody replaced the article with a bunch of text which, though well written, was more fit for a review than an encyclopedia and VERY POV (not to mention unwikified and hard to read). I reverted it but the text should still be in the edit history if somebody thinks they can salvage something. Shadowoftime 20:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Updated band members
I have updated the band members to what they are as of today. Paulw99 19:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

There are some mistakes in this article, plus it doesn't really say anything about Candice herself, but about the band she's in. Candice Isralow was born May 8 1971 and met Ritchie Blackmore in 1989 when she was 18, and they were friends before becoming romantically involved a few years later. They didn't share an interest in the Renaissance, that was Ritchie's interest, but she embraced it. They actually shared an interest in the paranormal and spirituality. She doesn't play the "horn", but various chanters, plus pennywhistle and tambourine. "Night" is her stage name and I think, as she's a Stevie Nicks fan, they used Blackmore's Night as Nicks used "Buckingham Nicks" (with Lindsay Buckingham). Bands with a similar style to BN include Loreena McKennitt, Die Geyers (formally Das Geyers Schwarzer Haufen), La Zag, Mediaeval Baebes. The band IS Anglo-American (Ritchie being English, Candice being American, and the rest of the band being made up of members from each country, with former member Mick Cervino being from Argentina).

blurb
"Someone should learn to read. Ritchie got into Renaissance music in 1972; Candice was born in 1971. She had never heard Renaissance music until she met him. See for example interview by Frank Mackay with the two - "Turning Point" - on Youtube."

"Celtic"
There's an annoying misconception that all neo-medieval folk music is somehow "celtic", and Blackmore's Night was erroneously labelled with this. In reality, they barely performed a couple of celtic-based songs. Most of their music is based on Saxon, Germanic and French medieval folk, from Tielman Susato (Dutch), Pierre Attaingnant (French), King Henry VIII (English), Michael Praetorius (German), Jeremiah Clarke (English), and even Alfonso X of Castile (Spanish). They perform songs like Greensleeves, Pastime with Good Company (English). They even name their instrumentals in German! They're basically "West European in general, predominantly Anglo-Germanic, folk". Beaumain (talk) 09:20, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
