With his long awaited new album, 'The Fighter', set for release this year on Ear Music, highly regarded guitar player, singer and songwriter Simon McBride, is back next month with an explosive, emotive fret and face melting live show, for a thirteen date UK and Ireland tour alongside Dave Marks (bass) and Marty McCloskey (drums), and his new single/title track is today's Video Of The Day. Hailing from Belfast, the former Young Guitarist of The Year, and now fully-fledged Blues-Rock virtuoso, has toured with Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa and Grammy nominee Derek Trucks.

Their first studio album since 'Homo Erraticus' in 2014, British Progressive Rock luminaries Jethro Tull release their new studio album, 'The Zealot Gene', on Friday 28th January on Inside Out Music, and they have recently released their third single, and title track from the album, which is today's Video Of The Day. A record that began to take shape as early as 2017, ‘The Zealot Gene’, in many ways, seeks to defy convention during a time when the business of being a touring and recording artist has never faced more uncertainties. With more than 30 albums to their credit and sales totalling more than 50 million, the band, currently consisting of Ian Anderson - flute, acoustic guitar, harmonica, vocals, Joe Parrish-James - guitar, Florian Opahle - guitar (album only), Scott Hammond - drums, David Goodier - bass guitar and John O’Hara - piano, keyboards and accordion, are one of the most successful Rock bands of all-time, with a catalogue that contains classics that still resonate today.
