It's two DJ's for the price of one this week on 'Blues On The Radio' as Richard Dunning welcomes award winning DJ and finalist in the British Blues Awards, Gary Grainger to the studio. With his comprehensive knowledge of the Blues and passion for its rise in the UK - the conversation is lively and the music will move you. Our 'Track Of The Day' also includes the usual stack of new releases and exclusives including WRC Award nominee Laurence Jones and Free!

At the end of August 2012 we were sat in The Old Explorer Pub - just around the corner from the 100 Club - interviewing Halfway To New York. It was a breakthrough year for the band. After releasing their debut EP, Treading Water, they embarked on their first UK Tour and had an eventful summer playing Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park (where we first saw them) and headlined 'Trafalgar Square' as part of the Closing Paralympic Celebrations. H2NY spent early 2014 opening up for 'Fuel' on their US tour, before returning to the studio to put the finishing touches to their debut album and the boys have returned from across the pond again, this time spending the summer supporting California natives Alien Ant Farm on their national tour. Anyway our 'Video Of The Day' is H2NY - who return to London to play The Borderline on Thursday 2nd April.

Who fancies a weekend dedicated to one of the most ground-breaking and influential rock bands of all time? It's Pink Floyd Weekend on Sky Arts HD featuring tonight Pink Floyd: Delicate Sound of Thunder - at 9pm, Discovering: Pink Floyd - tonight 11pm and David Gilmour: Live in Gdansk - tomorrow 9pm. Consequently our 'Track Of The Day' is the superb 'Talkin' Hawkin' from 'The Endless River' - let us have your thoughts on the new album or even a review through the contact box below - don't be shy!

She might be a 66 year-old Wrinkly Rocker from Ontario, but we're pretty sure that the Mom of one the Grindcore Band 'Corrupt Leaders' - featured in our 'Video Of The Day' - is not on the bill at the 100 Club tonight! Yep - the WRC are off to see 2014 WRC award winners Little Devils and Stark plus Bluesfest 2014 Headliner Aynsley Lister in a tasty triple-header. Watch out for a review, some vids and some pics to be posted on our website over the next few days. Hope to see you tonight - but no offence - not you Mom!

Our 'Track Of The Day' is a band founded by frontman, vocalist and harmonica player George Hexman in the late 70's, joining forces with major movers and shakers of the Liverpool music scene. Although they have always been known as a Blues band, The Hexmen’s material is not that easy to categorise. The band’s music is Blues based certainly but the defining quality of The Hexmen has always been energy with an aggressive, indie edge and a psychedelic undercurrent that lends extra dimensions to the music. The current band members have an exciting pedigree. George himself (also a much sought after session Blues harp player) - on guitar Ian Fuller, one of the UK's foremost Blues guitarists who has played alongside some of the greats including Steve Gibbons - and bass player Mike Cain and Mat Shaw on drums who previously gigged together for over 25 years before joining The Hexmen.

In a back street in Bromley, Kent, The Replicants turned up for rehearsal as usual but this time it was no ordinary evening. They had invited 14 year-old Liam O'Kane along to sit in on proceedings and show what he had got!! They were more than pleasantly surprised as Liam powered his way through Lil Devil, Pretender, Smoke On The Water, Tush and Johnny B. Goode. He is a talented young man as our albeit distorted 'Video Of The Day' shows. We hope to have more exciting news about Liam to follow - watch this space!!

Even more news on discounted ticket prices as WRC members can now get 20% off the £10 admission price to see the amazing Virgil and The Accelerators ('Track Of The Day') on Friday May 1st at The Red Lion, Gravesend. If you want to become a member go here or send us a message below if you are already a member and want to buy £8 tickets. For more information on the gig go here.

It’s time for a second round of British Blues Exhibition showcases at The Proud Camden tonight following the success of the first one headlined by Pete Brown on St. Patrick's Day! On this occasion, special guests from the U.S. join top British acts to celebrate the lasting heritage of the Blues - so hop on board the Transatlantic Blues with Union Jack and Uncle Sam to see The Laura Holland Band, Sister Cookie and The Right Reverend Swifty Lezarre - plus Swing Patrol London who will be returning to make sure everybody's dancing! Doors open at 6.30pm.

You certainly wouldn't associate Wrinkly The Silver with the sound of silence or indeed being disturbed! Seriously it was good to see the bearded one back gigging at London's O2 Arena for Jeff Lynne's ELO the other night following major back surgery. Suffice to say that WTS thought this Simon & Garfunkel Vid Of The Day cover was epic - and who are we to argue? And if any of you would like to nominate a Vid or Track of the Day - or contribute anything else for that matter - then please get in touch through our message box below!

We first saw Born Healer at the 100 Club in November last year supporting Corky Laing Plays Mountain. We were so blown away by the guys that we asked them to play BluesRockFest this year at Leo's Red Lion, Gravesend, on Saturday 24th September. Anyway we were delighted to hear from lead singer Helen Turner the other day with news of their new album 'Til The Dawn' of which 'Pressure Valve' here was going to be our Vid Of The Day until Prince's untimely death yesterday. Watch out for a review of 'TTD' soon, but in the meantime don't forget that there are still a few remaining Earlybird Tickets on sale here for £15 (instead of £20).

Time for another reminder about our Monsters Of Irish Rock Wrinklystock V at the Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford, on Saturday 26th November! Limehouse Lizzy are indeed headlining with 'special guests' supporting on what is always a rockin' occasion! Make sure you order your tickets now priced £22 here in order that you don't miss out!
