Following her great Centre Stage opening set at Butlins Great British Rock & Blues Festival in Skegness on Friday night, Rebecca Downes heads South tonight playing Dean Street's Pizza Express in London, and for today's Podcast Of The Day, we turn the clock back to May 2019, when we had the pleasure of chatting to Rebecca, the day before she released her eagerly anticipated third studio album, 'More Sinner Than Saint', through her own label, Mad Hat Records, which was the follow-up to her critically acclaimed second studio album, 'Believe'.

Last month, young German-English band Steppers Division performed their good vibes music, with a modern and world sound, at their very first UK show at The Cart and Horses in Stratford, a stone’s throw from Maryland Station, and famously known as the birthplace of a certain Iron Maiden, and not only was Chris Griffiths there to capture the gig on film in today's Photo Gallery, but an acoustic version of 'Worth It', recorded live at Berlin's Artliners back in October, is also today's Video Of The Day.

With their unique blend of screaming guitars, thundering kick ass drums, raging bass and uninhibited vocals, Held Hostage will be performing a special original Rock set at the Metal Hall Of Fame Ceremony at Agoura Hills Canyon Club in California on Thursday 26th January, that sees the induction of four Hard Rock and Heavy Metal legends, namely Twisted Sister, Lou Gramm, Chris Impellitteri and Raven, and today's six of the best 'Sunday Rocks!'

Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from Blackment, Infected Minds, Victor Smolski, Like Savages and Without Warning.

Today's Video Of The Day is Alice Armstrong's new debut single, 'Speed Dial', featuring Matt Long, Kevin Hickman, Josh Rigal, Stevie Watts, Ash Wilson, Brave Rival and friends, and last month at The Grand in Clapham, Alice (pictured) was part of a superb "One Night Revue" ensemble at Tommy Hare's Christmas Shindig, opened by Bluesy/Country covers of the three-piece Tom JJ ("Cinelli Brothers") Band followed by The Coalminers, with Tommy then doing a bunch of Christmas songs in the second part of the show with special guests Simeon Hammond Dallas, Howard Rose and Joe Corbin, all compered by Bandini/Alessandro De Cominato, and all captured on film thanks to today's Chris Griffiths Photo Gallery.

Showcasing new single and album releases with the emphasis on independent artists and labels, in the second of three Get Ready To Rock Podcast Of The Day retrospectives, David Randall plays a selection of favourite tracks played in the show during the Summer, including Floya, Maraton, Oceans Of Slumber, Wallner Vain, Fight The Fade (pictured) and more.

Including musicians and singers from the original Pink Floyd and Roger Waters tours, not only check out our Photo Gallery below (courtesy of Ivan De Mello) of The Music Of The Wall In Concert from the Hammersmith Apollo last Sunday, but also watch our Video Of The Day of 'The Happiest Days of our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall Part 2', that was recorded at the end of last month on the Copenhagen leg of their tour. A homage to one of the greatest Rock operas ever, plus a celebration of the 40th anniversary of their legendary concert tour, despite a few technical gremlins, it was a fitting tribute to one of the most iconic Rock albums ever recorded, that included a very poignant/relevant rendition of 'Mother' from a female Ukrainian vocalist.

Presented by David Randall, Part 1 of Get Ready To Rock's traditional end of year 'Best Of' two hour special, features reviewers choices for top albums, live and breakthrough acts, including Black Sabbath, Collateral (pictured), The Karma Effect, Wolf Moon, The Kut and more.

The music world was shaken to its core following the death on Tuesday of legendary guitarist Jeff Beck at the age of 78, following a battle with meningitis, so today we let his music do the talking, as we go back to June 2015 when we saw Jeff guest on his 71st birthday (pictured) with ZZ Top on 'Rough Boy' at Wembley Arena, which is today's Video Of The Day tribute.

Ahead of two London gigs this month at The Camden Club on Saturday 21st and The MacBeth of Hoxton on Sunday 29th, Rowsie (pronounced like Bowie) offer a mash up of noise Rock, Alternative and American highway songs, of which their next single, 'Willingness', due out on Friday 3rd February, carries a sonic assault that addresses the alienation and desolation of the world we live in with a refusal to accept its the only choice available, that's also one of today's six of the best 'Thursday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from KiaRa, Mega Drive, Detoura, The Yets and Ablaze My Sorrow.
