"And so to the headline act, Mott the Hoople were formed over 50 years ago. In that time they have been seen as Rock, Glam and even Country-Hippie. This latest reincarnation sees iconic frontman Ian Hunter reunited with Morgan Fisher on keys and Ariel Bender on guitar. Entering the stage to the strains of 'I Vow To Thee My Country', Hunter, on acoustic guitar, and the band launch into a set of classic Mott the Hoople tracks as well as a collection of tributes and medleys from artists that have contributed to, or influenced their music. Whilst as different as you can get from the preceding Steel Panther, they still bought an air of fun to the stage and to the audience. Well received and well presented, they were a fine way to end the Ramblin' day. With more glorious sunshine forecast, bring on tomorrow." Today read Mother's complete Ramblin' Man Fair Saturday review from Mote Park, Maidstone here plus check out both our Video Of The Day and our updated photo gallery here.

Today's Black On Blues Podcast Track Of The Day feature some of the very best British Blues including Wily Bo Walker, Ritchie Dave Porter, Hardchargers, Liam Ward Band, John Mayall, Ian Siegal, John Verity (pictured) and Mike Vernon.

"Are you ok?" Mollie asked, dressed in striking skin tight black PVC/leather trousers and black tasseled leather jacket. Stupid question really, before they launched into another new song, the mid-tempo, catchy and potent track 'Into Shape', which again emphasised what a unit they are and that it's not just all about Mollie - although it was difficult to take your eyes off her given her commanding stage presence with her magnetic personality and seductive enchanting elegance." That was part of our Mollie Marriott review when we last saw her at The Borderline supporting Dan Patlansky in March and Mollie returns to London tonight at The Water Rats in Kings Cross.

Just four days after they opened The Outlaw Country Stage last Saturday at Ramblin' Man Fairin Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent - Orlando’s Thomas Wynn And The Believers play London's The Black Heart in Camden tonight. In fact today's Track Of The Day is an interview which we were lucky enough to have with brother and sister Thomas (pictured) and Olivia discussing not only their Ramblin' Man set but also their hugely successful UK tour with The Temperance Movement earlier this year, their recent US Tour with Myles Kennedy plus their album 'Wade Waist Deep’ which was released in May 2017 via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group and recorded with four-time Grammy award-winning producer, Vance Powell (The White Stripes, Jack White, Chris Stapleton).

Following their gig at at 229 The Venue in April, Sonny Landreth and his compadres returned to London on Monday and Tuesday night at a sold out Under The Bridge as part of John Hiatt & The Goners as Hiatt celebrated the 30th anniversary of ‘Slow Turning’, playing the album in its entirety along with greatest hits. Monday was a great set so check out today's Video Of The Day plus our Photo Gallery courtesy of Bruce Biege here.

Supersonic Blues Machine & Friends with very special guest Billy F. Gibbons will be at London’s prestigious, O2 Shepherds Bush Empire tonight for their debut headline show. Following the release of two acclaimed albums ‘West of Flushing, South of Frisco’ (2016), ‘Californisoul’ (2017) and a triumphant performance on the mainstage at Ramblin’ Man Fair last Summer, the band are embarking on their first ever European tour. For this tour they welcome rising star Kris Barras (picture from Ramblin' Man Fair last Sunday) on all dates with former guitarist Lance Lopez concentrating on his recent solo release and touring in support of it. Kris has exploded to the front of the British Blues Rock pack with his new album ‘The Divine And Dirty’ released last month and will be joining the line-up following his own April-May UK tour with Beth Hart. Together with its guests and Kris Barras, the band is also bringing along keyboard wiz Alex Alessandroni Jr (Stevie Wonder, Pink, Paul Stanley, Whitney Houston and many more), the backing vocals Supersonnets (credits spanning from Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Jon Anderson, Shakira) and Fabrizio’s co-writer partner for the majority of SBM catalogue Serge Simic on second guitar and vocals. For the London show they will also be joined by Blues-Rocker Davy Knowles who counts Bernie Marsden and Joe Satriani amongst his admirers, the latter declaring that he is his “favourite modern Bluesman.”

Well the weather was unbelievable plus the banter and music (see today's Video Of The Day) was pretty damn good as well. Yes sadly Ramblin' Man Fair in the beautiful Garden Of England setting of Mote Park in Maidstone is over for another year - but what great memories we will take away with us until we return next year. With a review from Mother in the pipeline and some more pics to come, have a gander today at some brilliant photos from the weekend from John Bull here, not forgetting contributions from Phil C., Geoff C. and Stewart B.

"The inevitable encore saw us "going way on down the swamp" with 'Bayou Teche' - a marvellous nine minute microcosm of what had gone before. Eric Clapton once said that Landreth was one of the most advanced guitarists in the world and one of the most under-appreciated. Well we were priveleged to witness the Master of Slydeco tonight, and boy was he appreciated. Long Live The King!" That was part of our take on Sonny Landreth at 229 The Venue in April and Sonny returns to London tonight at a sold out Under The Bridge as a part of John Hiatt & The Goners as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of ‘Slow Turning’, playing the album in its entirety along with greatest hits.
