"And talking of Rush, the mellow Rock n' Roll Quo sounding 'Sugar Rush' saw the jazz loving and bandana wearing Senaldi joyously thumping his tubs, but interestingly enough, not a cowbell to be seen! "You all know this one" Pfister teased, very reminiscent of Jack Black, as it was School Of Rock time with a cool cover of Stevie's 'Superstition', before Holy Communion during 'What Was' from 'Ticket To Rock', Pfister asking "Do you like free drinks" as his flock lined up to sample the bottle on offer from Golaz at the front of the stage. Brilliant." That was part of our take on Daxx & Roxane when they played Camden's The Black Heart in October (pictured), and the kick-ass four-piece Rock ’n’ Roll band originating from Switzerland return to London tonight at Camden's The Unicorn.

Appearing tonight at The Eel Pie Club, The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ, is guitarist, Dick Taylor, who after 55 years of touring with the now disbanded The Pretty Things, has recently formed a new Blues project with JC Grimshaw, a multi-instrumentalist who has played with, among others, Midge Ure, and guitarist/vocalist Angelina Grimshaw (see today's Track Of The Day). Consequently, expect some acoustic Blues, UK Rhythm 'n' Blues and some Pretty Things. Doors open at 8.15pm with music from 9-11pm. WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted admission.

Check out today our Video Of The Day - Knitted Santa in his own version of 'Santa Buddy' - which was released on Sunday. In a Knitted Santa 10th Anniversary Special - this bi-annual wool-based Christmas blockbuster is the brainchild of Andy Balcam (pictured right), guitarist of 5-piece Berkshire and Hampshire based Classic Rock covers band Thickcut.

'Live In England', the fourth album recently released by DBA (Downes Braide Association), is their first live album, recorded at their first ever concert at Trading Boundaries last September, of which 'Tomorrow', recorded at the show, is today's Track Of The Day. Whilst DBA was conceived as a studio project, the concert was a great success and features material from the DBA albums 'Suburban Ghosts' (2015) and 'Skyscraper Souls' (2017) together with tracks from Geoff Downes’ time with Buggles and Asia. Next year, the duo will once again be returning to the same East Sussex venue on both Friday 14th February and the night after. Joining Downes and Chris Braide this time around will be guitarist Dave Bainbridge (Iona, Lifesigns), together with bass player Andy Hodge and David Longdon (Big Big Train), and the show will again be narrated by Barney Ashton Bullock.

Heavy Rock outfit Memphis May Fire play London's The Underworld in Camden tonight at 9.15pm, part of a nine-date UK run, in support of their latest record, 'Broken', with support from the newly announced Walkways at 8.05pm, plus home town Hard Rockers Reverted at 7.15pm, a top live act, who have performed at the Camden Rocks Festival a couple of times amongst other London shows.

Terrorvision are ready to Rock this Christmas with their brand new festive feel good single 'Our Christmas Song' (today's Video Of The Day), released last Friday, their first new material since 2011! During a sold-out tour in May this year, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their biggest album 'How To Make Friends And Influence People', the band finally decided to make good on a long-standing ambition to write a Christmas single – a proper, glorious foot stomping, arms around each other Wizzard/Slade inspired Christmas single! Featuring Tony Wright - vocals, Mark Yates - guitar, Leigh Marklew - bass, Cameron Greenwood - drums and Milton Evans - keyboards, next year the band are touring the UK in February, plus Newark's Stonedeaf Festival on Saturday 29th August and Great Yarmouth's Hard Rock Hell Chapter XIV on Saturday 7th November.

Today's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day features music from Half Deaf Clatch, Andy Lindquist, Eddie Martin, Oli Brown, Rebecca Downes, Brass Monkey, Ben Poole (pictured), The Cosimo Matassa Project, Mike Zito and of course a load of Sayer & Joyce, ahead of tonight's show at The Tuesday Night Music Club, The Comrades Club, Coulsdon CR5 2NF.

"I'm Jack Broadbent" Jack politely introduced himself as he sat down on his stool - "We Know" replied a wag in the sold out crowd - no doubt comforting for Broadbent perhaps, that they had not all come to see the headlining Stones guitarist. Jack opened with a great cover of Canned Heat's 'On The Road Again', before I fought my way through the stalls to take a few photos from the pit, just in time to catch 'She Said' from the former busker's aptly named 2013 release, 'The Busking CD'. Jack had subsequently been joined by his Dad Micky on bass and vocals, for a few numbers, sitting to his right. "He's Alright Isn't He?" Broadbent Junior duly complimented his old man, which fittingly saw the Bush faithful yelling in agreement." Today read the whole of AJ's take on Jack Broadbent (plus a certain Ronnie Wood pictured), at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on Thursday 21st November here, plus check out our Photo Gallery here.

Piston released their cover of Slade’s iconic 1972 Rock single 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now' last Friday accompanied by a music video (today's Track Of The Day) featuring a few familiar faces, recorded at Long Wave Studios in Cardiff at the end of October with producer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Motorhead and Funeral For A Friend). 2019 has been a great year for Piston, with two singles 'One More Day' and 'Rainmaker' played on UK Rock radio. They also supported The Cult on their Sonic Temple Tour in October and made such a big impression when they played the Rising Stage at Ramblin’ Man Fair in July, so much so that the organisers have invited them back to play the Grooverider Stage in July next year.

"I don’t have the musical knowledge to be able to describe it or substantiate it but I know what I like, and to my ears some guitarists seem capable of wringing more emotion and feeling from a single note or simple phrase than others …Lifeson can do it, so can Gilmour …but even in this company, for me, Hackett is a master …the very wonderful ‘Spectral Mornings’ itself ...a relatively simple refrain, largely repeated, but so intensely loaded." Today read the whole of Mark C's take on Steve Hackett at London's Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on Friday night here, the final leg of his twenty UK November shows.

Yesterday saw the release of 'Christmas Time (feat.The Angry Snowman - Rock 'n' Roll Mix)', today's Video Of The Day, on all digital platforms by Geoff Carne & The Hatz - a re-vamped version of last year's release in true Rock 'n' Roll fashion. Their latest release follows a live recording of their previous song, 'Caught On The Outside', with its Tom Petty vibe, released last month, with a studio production version due to be released next month.

"Each song had its own dynamic, a couple of my personal favourites were the funky groove and infectious chorus of ‘Keep it on the Down-Low’ (that’s going to stay in the live set for a long time) and the excellent ‘Judgement Day’ with its distinctive jaunty guitar hook. The slow burn of the acoustic based ‘Mammon’ was another highlight. The word eclectic often gets misused but not in the case of Wille and the Bandits who take a variety of rich ingredients from the past and put it into their particular blender to produce an imaginative take on the Blues that is totally original. Catch them when you can." That was part of our take on Wille & The Bandits O2 Academy Islington gig back in March, and frontman Wille Edwards (pictured) returns to London tonight, at Camden's Green Note, the last of his seven-date solo UK tour, raising awareness of the crisis of homelessness in the UK, and to support charities that are doing work in this field in the lead-up to Christmas.
