If you like Classic Rock as it should be i.e. loud, dirty, fun and raunchy - then this is a no-brainer. From the ashes of 70's rock legends Straightshooter - a bit like the WRC - they are slightly older, slightly greyer, but still 'Recycled Teenagers ... hence the title of the album!

The legacy of Huddie 'Lead Belly' Ledbetter, the iconic folk-blues singer, songwriter and guitarist famed for his vast repertoire of songs and incredible influence, will be celebrated in a special night of music at the Royal Albert Hall tonight. Lead Belly Fest will see a host of artists inspired by the iconic bluesman pay tribute to his work by recreating his classic repertoire. Topping the bill will be the legendary Van Morrison, musical maestro Jools Holland, Animals frontman Eric Burdon, Manfred Mann singer Paul Jones, Rose Royce’s Gwen Dickey and former Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show vocalist Dennis Locorriere. Josh White Jr., Laurence Jones, Gemma Ray and Ruby Turner will also join the incredible line up, as well as 2014 WRC Award winners Slim Chance, the band formed originally by Ronnie Lane!

To be fair, the jury has been out as to whether such an iconic Rock concept album as The Who's 'Quadrophenia' should ever be orchestrated. An even bolder move was to have Alfie Boe stepping into Daltrey's 5.15's (see Vid Of The Day) plus Billy Idol being the nearest rebellious thing we have now to the much missed and loved Keith Moon (or wanker as Pete Townshend lovingly put it at Hyde Park last week). But hey on the plus side we did have Townshend and the film's very own Jimmy (Phil Daniels) to even the .. ahem ... score. Anyway watch out shortly for our review but in the meantime the pic is from last night's Royal Albert Hall performance with more pics to come as well.

The bad news last Saturday was that there was no Rock On The Ridge show that particular night - but the good news coming out of ROTR Towers on the same day was the tweet "Some great information coming soon about our next show @WRINKLYCLUB".
