"Inglorious' pulsating rock, which focused on tracks from their recently released, self titled debut album, set the Saturday main stage tone for the day. Personal favourites were the hard, pounding ‘Warning’, and ‘Holy Water’, a singalong well known to many in the audience. It was obvious the band have already built a sizeable fan base - it is not difficult to see why." That was part of our take when we saw Inglorious open on the Planet Rock Stage at Day One of Maidstone's Ramblin' Man Fair back in July 2016, and afterwards we managed to catch a few words with the guys backstage, which is today's Podcast Of The Day.

Today we turn the clock back exactly six years ago to a knockout ZZ Top Wembley gig when the WRC ranks were joined by Pure Radio 107.8FM Route 66 host Rory Auskerry and his brother Hamish (pictured), a brilliant night where we also made a few polite suggestions for Rory's next show (today's Podcast Of The Day) on a number of bands on the WRC radar. Fair play to Rory then, for including 68-75, Montrose, and of course the bands we saw, Thunder and ZZ Top, in his playlist.
