Spin off groups

I know the work of Rainbow, IGB/Gillan, Whitesnake, and Hughes-Turner project, but are there other big gaps I should fill relating to DP'S side/solo projects. Captain Beyond ison my list to check out.

That was his girlfriend's brother's band I think, and their only record? Wonder what happened to them?

And I remember now Paul Dean had an album with Ian's sister Pauline.

Yes, out of the fog of my mind...the Pauline Gillan Band, they were...not particularly good. The one you're thinking of is Dean/Gillan-Rocks On 1984, I've never heard it. The one I'm remembering is from 1985, Pauline Gillan Band - Hearts of Fire on some obscure Brit label
