On today's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day you'll be hearing music from Kyla Brox, Lena & The Slide Brothers, Gwyn Ashton, Kerry Kearney Band, Grainne Duffy, Al Lerman, Dom Martin, Broken Levee, Tiny Flaws, Tony Campanella, L'il Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine, Baboon Blues County plus The Stevie Watts Trio (pictured) and Alice Armstrong who are appearing at The Tuesday Night Music Club, The Comrades Club, Coulsdon CR5 2NF tonight.

"The main set came to a close with the anthemic and killer 'Doctor Doctor' from the 1974 'Phenomenon' album. The intro build up to the main riff is tantalising, raising up the tension before exploding into life, exciting the senses as it chugs along like a juggernaut. A mosh pit developed down the front, just like the good old days! For the encore we got the excellent 'Shoot Shoot' from the 1975 'Force It' album. Time for more audience participation and moshing! At the end Moore descended the stage into the pit to allow the front row to strum his guitar. A great ending to a fantastic night of classic Heavy Rock." Read the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's UFO Shepherd's Bush Empire gig review from last Thursday night here.

The burning question on everybody’s lips is just who the hell are Glitter Machine? So why not do yourselves a favour and give today's Video Of The Day of their single 'Black Bird' - due to be released this Friday 12th April - a listen? With current viewing figures on YouTube of over 205k views (since November) for the single, it appears that quite a lot of people out there already know just who this band are and what it is that they’'re up to. One thing is for sure, if they continue to write, record and perform music like this, then they certainly won’'t be hanging out for fame too much longer. So if you like your music loud with raw vocals, searing guitars, a driving bass and thumping drums, then do keep Saturday 18th May free and get yourself along to their first live show at The Lexington in London.

Multi-Award-winning American Blues guitarist and singer-songwriter Samantha Fish has added London-based Americana band Curse Of Lono as special guests on her May 2019 UK Tour. The band released their second album ‘As I Fell’ last year and their sound can best be described as a “sumptuously cinematic record that combines harmony-laden Americana with driving, Gothic Alt-Rock”. The tour coincides with Samantha’s new studio album, which is the follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2017 albums 'Belle of the West' and 'Chills & Fever'. After launching her recording career in 2009, Samantha quickly established herself as a rising star in the contemporary Blues world. Since then, the charismatic young singer-guitarist-songwriter has earned a reputation as a rising guitar hero and powerful live performer, while releasing a series of acclaimed albums that have shown her restless creative spirit consistently taking her in new and exciting musical directions.

Today we finally catch up with the last Captain's Video Rock Show which is today's Track Of The Day. His mission: to get Rock music back into mainstream music again with wall to wall Rock videos from new and established bands. Episode 6 includes Hardline (pictured), Jimi Anderson Group, Revolution Saints, Animal Drive, Jeff Scott Soto and Steelheart.

"Closing track is a cracking Country Blues track from the new album called 'Back to L.A.' (I thought you said you were from Brooklyn?). Although it’s a song about looking back at how quickly life goes by, and wishing you hadn’t wasted so much of it, it’s a feel good song with an up beat tempo that skips along to the only too quickly reached conclusion. But it’s a finish with a flourish to an excellent set that showcases not only Sari’s impressive vocal talents, but also thoughtful and interesting songwriting skills. In an ever more chaotic world, the Beaverwood Club is an island of tranquility in a sea of madness. The woes weighing us down are temporarily lifted to allow us a window of calm. Doctor Feenstra has written his prescription. No medication is required other than that dispensed by barman Dan, along with a large dose of Sari Schorr. Take both before retiring to bed and everything will be fine in the morning."

"Must admit I was bit miffed that we missed the start of Connor Selby Band's set, based on the evidence of what we saw when we finally arrived. With Andy Corby on bass, Rob Shearer on drums, Jon Getty on rhythm guitar and a nice young Scottish guy on keyboards (sorry we didn't get your name) - it was one Connor Blues guitar solo, after guitar solo, after guitar solo, including their own funky composition 'This Old World', the soul of James Brown & The Famous Flames 'Cold Sweat', the Blues of Ray Charles' 'I've Got News For You' and just to wrap things up, The Beatles 'With A Little Help From Our Friends' of course Cocker style. Awesome." That was our take when we first saw Connor Selby supporting Erja Lyytinen at the 100 Club two year's ago (pictured) and we've followed Connor's progress ever since. So we were obviously delighted to hear that Connor will be supporting The Who, no less, at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 6th July. Congratulations Connor!

"Talking of which, that particular legend’s name was invoked as the band kicked into their own superb version of ‘Black Magic Woman’ which fused ‘Mac with Santana plus their own added Bandit sauce. 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."
