"For the English folk song written by King Henry VIII, see Pastime with Good Company." Past Times with Good Company is a double live album by the band Blackmore's Night, recorded in May 2002 in Groningen, the Netherlands. It was released in October 2002 in Europe and in February 2003 in the USA and Canada. The European version includes a Greek rendition of "Home Again" and extra live tracks recorded at a press show in Solingen, Germany. CD 2 of the special Limited Edition leather-bound hard-cover package includes two bonus tracks: an  acoustic "Fires At Midnight" and "Home Again" sung in Greek.

"Fires At Midnight" is another piece with a royal lineage, attributed to King Alphonso X of Spain. Covers. Two of the tracks on this album are covers from Ritchie Blackmore's earlier bands.
