Today's Video Of The Day is Haig's latest single ‘Did I Just Make You Smile?’, dedicated to the NHS & Emergency Services of the UK, whilst we're in the crisis of the Covid-19 virus. In the video you'll see people in isolation of their homes, NHS staff and parts of the Emergency service team, and lastly a few clips to remind us of what we have to look forward to when all this is distant memory! Billy Bibby’s experience with Catfish & The Bottlemen alongside Carl Rutherford, as well as Joe Mooney's experience in the music scene, have given the band an instantaneous worldly feel, delivering pure melodious, yet intricate Rock, that has radio written all over it. Looking forward to their debut EP 'Freeze The World', it's British Rock at its absolute best, meshing Classic Rock with a progressively Indie vibe.

"The band returned to perform encore 'Separated Out' from 2001's 'Anoraknophobia', which was additionally notable not only for the sextet upping their enjoyment by having a little 'Kashmir' (yes, that 'Kashmir') breakout moment, but also saw the smiling Rothery throwing a few moves around the stage, thanks in no small part to the audience participation and Mosley's brilliant drumming. After ignoring Hogarth's request for everybody to "just go home", Rothery was at last given his introduction by Hogarth to possibly the loudest recognition of the night." That was part of our take last November on Marillion at London's Royal Albert Hall, and today's Video Of The Day features the first part of guitarist Steve Rothery's 'La Silla', from his forthcoming crowdfunded album 'Revontulet', which will be released on Monday 28th September.

This year HRH AOR, Blues & Crows will combine forces in a three day, three arena, 70 band monster edition including D-A-D (today's Video Of The Day), aptly named HRH ABC, which will take place over the weekend of the 12th - 15th November at Camp HRH, Great Yarmouth. Indeed, the organisers have moved Heaven and Earth to get more accommodation, more production and more bands together to make this possible at a time of the year where we can hopefully all feel more comfortable in going out and having some fun after this awful crisis has passed.

"A sequenced guitar build up leads into ‘This One’s For You’, then on to, for mine, the other stand out song that comes in the form of ‘Battles Ain’t No War’. In a more down tempo mode, it shows the excellent depth in the band’s song writing and has the feel of a film score about it!" Today read another one of our self-isolating album reviews, as Geoff C. this time gives you his take here on Vega's new CD 'Grit Your Teeth', which is due to be released on Friday 12th June, plus check out our Track Of The Day of their latest single '(I Don’t Need) Perfection'. Remember, if you are currently kicking your heels and you fancy doing a self-isolation CD review, then don't be shy, just e-mail us at wrinklyrockers11@aol.com
