In these unfortunate and strange times, it was good to hear that not only is the Jamie Porter Band still going strong, but that they have just dropped their latest single and today's Track Of The Day, 'Where We Belong', on all good digital platforms. Featuring Danny Porter on bass/vocals and Jamie on all other instruments, 'Where We Belong' is about the music community and a sense of belonging, and even if you don’t feel part of a community yourself, music can make you feel like you are part of one, whether it is a community group or style of music, following the same band or united by a song. It gives a sense of identity and common ground. That feeling of standing in a crowd singing at the top of your voice with hundreds of others to a favourite song by a live band, it lifts you and releases you from your lonely place lifting you up high. You can't argue with that!

Chris Bevington Organisation recently released their fourth album and their best yet, ‘Sand & Stone’, of which the title track is today's Video Of The Day. Written and produced by the talented Scott Ralph and Jim Kirkpatrick, it features eleven original tracks, reflecting the skills and musicianship of all the strong, diverse talents and musicianship brought together. Indeed, added to the band’s usual line-up of Chris himself (on bass), FM guitar wizard Kirkpatrick, the fabulous vocal duo of Kate Robertson and Sarah Miller (from Nearly Dan) and the vocal and guitar talents of Ralph, there’s also a brilliant guest session by Chris Aldridge from the Climax Blues Band on saxophone. The band also boasts a fantastic brass section comprising of Ben Oakes (sax) and Lewis Topping (trombone), whilst the rock solid drums of Neil McCallum (Climax Blues Band) and keyboard skills of Dave Edwards complete the strong, cohesive nine-piece line-up.

"As the band said: "They just do it and they want to be the best at it." Well they certainly have achieved that. A real epic Melodic Classic Rock rollercoaster of a CD that not only turns up the gas to H.E.A.T mark two, but one in turn that will make you sweat and want to keep permanently on your current Hard Rock playlist." That was part of our take on Swedish rockers H.E.A.T's superb latest album 'H.E.A.T II', and given the current coronavirus lockdown, the band have had to reschedule their October UK tour, along with British Rock band Vega, award winning band Mason Hill and 4-piece Collateral, to October next year. Tickets remain valid for their all dates.
