Following their blistering set opening this year's Faversham A New Day Festival back in August, unfortunately Blues Rock outfit Big River had to postpone their Leo's Red Lion gig last month, however, their 'Big Christmas One' with special guests Gianni Scalera & The Jury plus Isabella Coulstock, now takes place on Sunday 18th December at that very same Gravesend venue, and for today's Podcast Of The Day we go back to that showery Summer's day when we had a quick chat backstage with vocalist Adam Barron and guitarist Damo Fawsett, discussing all things Big River, on the very same day they released their latest EP, 'Beautiful Trauma'.

"As I head out into the cold December night, I reflect on another night of Classic Rock music.

No fly by night, flash in the pan acts this lot." After releasing their sixth studio album, ’Radiance‘, at the end of September, The Dead Daisies have winged their way to back to the UK for an eight-date Winter Tour this month, with very special guests, revered UK legends FM and the Graham Bonnet Band, so today read not only Mother's complete take on their London Forum leg from Tuesday night, but also check out John 'Mr. Rockrpix' Bull's superb photos, plus our 'Face Your Fear' Video Of The Day, filmed on the night.
