OFF: Blackmore's Knight

[William Duffy]

The name of the band is Blackmore's Night. The female lead vocalist is
Candice Night (where the 2nd part of the name comes from). There's a video
around of the band, where they also do 16th Century Greensleaves, as well as
excerpts from other Rainbow & Deep Purple tunes.
