Roger David Glover (born November 30 , 1945 in Brecon , Wales ) is a Welsh Bassist , Keyboardist , Songwriter , and Record Producer , best known as the bassist and a songwriter for Rock Band Deep Purple . EARLY CAREER Born near Brecon, Wales, Glover moved with his family to London , England at the age of ten. Around that time, Glover's interests started to shift towards Rock Music , and by the time he was thirteen, Glover began playing guitar. While in school, Glover formed his first band, Madisons, with a group of friends, which later merged together with a rival band to become Episode Six , a band which later featured Glover's future Deep Purple bandmate, vocalist Ian Gillan . The two left Episode Six in 1969 to join Deep Purple. DEEP PURPLE AND SOLO After spending four years with Deep Purple, where the band saw their most successful releases in albums '' Deep Purple In Rock '' and '' Machine Head '', Glover was dismissed by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and became a record producer for such bands as Judas Priest , Nazareth and Elf . He also released two of his solo albums, '' Butterfly Ball '' in 1974 , and '' Elements '' in 1978 , before rejoining his former Deep Purple bandmate, Ritchie Blackmore, in his band Rainbow , where he worked on five of the band's albums. He then returned briefly to his solo career, recording his third solo album '' Mask '' in 1984 . During that year, Deep Purple reformed and Glover returned to his old band, where he performs to this day. DISCOGRAPHY , New York in 2002 ]] Solo
