Tucked away in the undulating hills of North Eastern Romania, last month the annual Suceava Blues Festival returned - a free-to-attend celebration that brings together world-class Blues talent like Ana Popovic (pictured), Ian Siegal and Sugar Queen Blues, alongside Romanian favourites such as Marius Dobra, Lineage Reloaded and Norwegian Grammy nominated Joe Rusi, so see today Chris Griffiths take and photos from all three days, as well as today's all too short Video Of The Day, an amazing cover of Joe Bonamassa's 'No Good Place For The Lonely' by German Blues Rock outfit Evil Mama.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news that Half Moon Panic vocalist/bassist Gerard Jacques recently passed away at the age of 62. Very fondly referred to in our gig reviews as Sting's slightly elder brother, Gerard was the delicious filling in this tempting half baguette of a fun loving, Blues Rock power trio. He loved being a wrinkly rocker, and his comedic on-stage banter with Taj and Robo will be sorely missed, so today we let his WRC award nominated band's music do all the talking with today's 'Second Time Around' Video Of The Day, the title track from their second album, filmed at London's Abbey Road Studios.
