Richard Hugh Blackmore...
was born on 14th April 1945 in Weston Super Mare. He grew up in Heston, Middlesex, as that's where his family moved to when Blackmore was only 2. Blackmore's father bought him his first guitar when he was about 9 or 10. He took some classical guitar lessons, since otherwise his father intended to bash the instrument over his head. |
