It's fair to say that there are a number of quality gigs taking place across England's capital city tonight and that the WRC will be out in force! Saxon, FM and Wayward Sons (pictured) are playing Chalk Farm's Roundhouse, whilst just around the corner Ryan Hamilton & The Harlequin Ghosts are playing The Camden Assembly and further up the road Doomsday Outlaw are playing at The Black Heart. Elsewhere, Glass Tiger are playing The Boston Music Rooms whilst JoanOvArc (Video Of The Day) are playing at The Big Red. Wherever you end up - enjoy!

"Their trademark duelling guitar harmonies on 'Eyes Wide Open' belied the fact that this rocking instrumental featuring Powell on his V guitar was taken from an even later album - Clan Destiny in 2006 - real testament to Ash's historical musical influences on bands such as Thin Lizzy, as was the even more recent 'Way Down South' showcasing both Abrahams and Skeat solos on this tune with its Dire Straits feel from 2014's 'Blue Horizon'. Time now for the big hitters as Powell introduced the "A" word, namely the aforementioned 'Argus'. Spontaneous hand clapping complemented Powell's opening guitar on 'The King Will Come', with Abrahams wah guitar solo getting deserved applause before Skeats bass lead into its duelling guitar/vocals finale, before the smiling James Whale lookalike Powell and Abrahams both launched into guitar solos on another 'Argus' classic 'Warrior'." That was part of our take on Wishbone Ash last October at London's O2 Academy Islington, and almost exactly a year ago to the day they return to the same venue tonight supported by the superb Felix Rabin (pictured).

Jeff Lynne's ELO triumphantly returned to London's O2 Arena last night after a two and half year absence. With a set containing most of the ELO classics including 'Livin' Thing', '10538 Overture', 'Roll Over Beethoven' and of course 'Mr. Blue Sky', Jeff also threw in for good measure 'Do Ya' (Video Of The Day) and 'Handle With Care' respectively from his time with The Move and The Travelling Wilburys. With excellent support also from Billy Lockett, Lynne plays two further dates at The O2 today and Saturday before completing his UK tour at Liverpool's Echo Arena next Tuesday. Do not miss him!

The WRC Award winning Rock On The Ridge show returns as our Track Of The Day with music from Clutch, Doomsday Outlaw (pictured), Rival Sons, Hellyeah, Shallow Side, Monster Truck, Blacktop Mojo, New Device, Wicked Stone, Bad Touch, Gallows Circus, Rush, Electric Citizen, Tax The Heat, Wayward Sons, Jake E Lee's Red Dragon Cartel, Vanilla Women, The Brew, Ozzy Osbourne, Tremonti, Federal Charm, Rainbreakers, and Metallica.

The Music Venue Trust’s national networking event Venues Day 2018 returns today to explore the theme The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Sharing Good Practice, Strategies for Overcoming Bad Practice and How to Deal with the Ugly Side of Operating a GMV. Over 500 delegates will gather at a sold out Islington Assembly Hall for the 5th edition of Venues Day, the only music industry event designed for the people who run the UK’s grassroots music venues. Previous attendees will be delighted to learn that MVT patron Steve Lamacq will return to Venues Day this year to host The Magnificent Seven: Anniversaries, Celebrations & Survival Stories. Steve will interview the managers of a selection of grassroots music venues who have survived to celebrate a notable birthday, including London’s 100 Club (75 years), Southampton Joiners (50 years) and Portsmouth’s Wedgewood Rooms (25 years). Suffice to say that we will also be attending a gig of course tonight - Jeff Lynne's ELO at London's O2 Arena.

Today's latest Blues On The Radio Podcast Track Of The Day includes music from RHR Redfern, Hutchinson & Ross, Eric Bibb, Zoe Green Band, Ron Spencer Band, Lee Ainley's Blues Storm, Steve West Weston, DC Blues, The Marcus King Band (pictured), Sandy Carroll, Eliana Cargnelutti, Beki Brindle Band and (following last night's show at The Tuesday Night Music Club) Guy Tortora!

Glenn Hughes brought a bit of Californian Sun to Camden's Electric Ballroom on a miserable evening in good old London town on Monday night. With a review to come, the final gig of his nine date Glenn Hughes Performs Classic Deep Purple Live UK tour, saw the former bassist and singer, known to millions as the ‘Voice of Rock’, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and the current front man for Rock super group Black Country Communion, polish off classics including 'Stormbringer', 'Smoke On The Water' (today's Video Of The Day) and 'Burn', as well as being joined on 'Mistreated' and 'Highway Star' by his BCC "brother" Joe Bonamassa. With excellent support from Laurence Jones (pictured), check out our Photo Gallery from the gig here.

With a show which The Morning Star described as “a Bluesy Rock masterclass" and a new album 'Sweet Georgina' which marks the latest chapter in a stellar career as a bandleader, songwriter and music journalist, The David Sinclair Four are playing The Beaverwood Club in Chislehurst, Kent, tonight. Alongside him in the DS4 is lead guitarist and backing vocalist, Geoff Peel, together with the hand-in-glove rhythm section of the Mendoza brothers Jos (bass/BVs) and Rory (drums). Meanwhile, tonight also sees Dan Lancaster perform his debut show at London’s Oslo, Hackney, translating his exceptional talent on record to the live arena. The exceptional UK singer-songwriter and Grammy-nominated producer recently unveiled his brand new track ‘Wild Life’, which follows in the footsteps of the success of his debut single 'Move A Mountain' (today's Track Of The Day).

Last night was the final gig of the nine date Glenn Hughes Performs Classic Deep Purple Live UK tour at London's Electric Ballroom, and as expecteded, it turned out to be a dynamic, turn-back-the-clocks, two-hour live extravaganza homage to his tenure in MK 3 and MK 4 incarnations of Deep Purple - one of music history’s most seminal and influential Rock and Roll groups. The former bassist and singer, known to millions as the ‘Voice of Rock’, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and the current front man for Rock super group Black Country Communion, polished off the classics including 'Stormbringer', 'Mistreated' (including guest Joe Bonamassa pictured), 'Smoke On The Water' and of course 'Burn' - with great support from Laurence Jones. Anyway, with a review and a photo gallery to come - please check out today's Video Of The Day.

"Following the leads from the charismatic Ralf, the crowd were soon joining the chorus lines and rocking with the band. New songs out of the way, the band focused on crowd favourites. ‘Nuclear Fire’ saw Ralf controlling his guitarists like a snake charmer and, by the time ‘Metal is Forever’ was in full swing the atmosphere was electric - including the first proper, heaving, bouncing mosh pit I've seen for a couple of decades. Though, back in the day, I never heard a plea to the moshers from the stage along the lines of “Great to see you enjoying yourselves - but please be careful not to bang into the people around you”!" Today we have Big IaN's take on last Thursday's Primal Fear/Riot V gig here at Tufnell Parks' Dome in London.
