May said: “You guys really do sound like a potent Deep Purple – with a new slant.

“Inglorious’ musicianship and vocals are stunning.” Fronted by heavyweight singer Nathan James, he earned his heavy metal stripes alongside Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth before forming Inglorious.

“We can’t wait to play Clitheroe, it will be our first visit to the town,” said James, who brings Inglorious to the York Street venue on Saturday, October 19th.

“We’ll be playing lots of stuff from our three albums, and some new songs too.”
