We were all devastated to learn of the passing of our pal Beastie over the festive period. Even though we never actually met the chuffing legend, we all knew him, not only through listening to his wonderful weekly Blues Club and Rock Show podcasts, but also identified with him given his love of the beautiful game. Today's Blues Club Podcast Of The Day is dedicated in his memory, originally broadcast in May, the very same day his beloved Sheffield Wednesday miraculously got to Wembley. Also nominated in our 2023 WRC Podcast Of The Year award, how fitting it would be if it was won in his memory, although, regardless of the outcome, you are a winner in our eyes mate. Voting closes here at midnight tonight https://www.wrinklyrockersclub.com/2023-wrc-awards-voting God bless you Steve.

"Along with drummer Nick Sharman powering them along (he must have had a helluva week… he pounded 7 shades out of the kit), everything about their set was nothing short of impressive." That was part of our take when we reviewed Blue Nation supporting Chantel McGregor at London's iconic 100 Club in September (Video Of The Day), and consequently the Brummie Power trio are one of six nominees in our 2023 WRC Best Support Awards category alongside Sons Of Liberty, DeWolff, The Commoners, The Milk Men and Alastair Greene (pictured).

"Suffice to say that the legacy of Irish guitar legends such as Gallagher and Moore is in very safe hands, as Pat's band testified tonight. Rest assured I will not leave it as long next time to see these guys in action again."
