With millions of album sales and concert attendances worldwide, Wishbone Ash's heritage as one of the most enduring and best loved British Rock acts is assured. Classic album releases such as 'Pilgrimage', 'New England' and 'Live Dates' defined the Wishbone Ash sound and have touched the hearts of several generations of music fans. Martin Turner, the definitive voice, creative force and founding member of the British Rock legends, continues to perform the band's best loved works with his current line-up - guitarists Danny Willson and Misha Nikolic and drummer Tim Brown - and remains faithful to the original Wishbone Ash blueprint. Fresh from sold-out 2017 shows during which they performed Wishbone Ash’s seminal 1972 album 'Argus' in its entirety, Turner and his band return to the concert stages this month and next to perform another classic album from the vintage years of Wishbone Ash – 1974’s iconic 'There’s The Rub' tonight at The Eel Pie Club, The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ. Doors open at 8pm with music from 8.30-11pm. WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted admission. Wishbone Ash release their Deluxe 30 CD Box Set 'The Vintage Years' on Friday 20th April.

Today's Black On Blues Track Of The Day is another popular Blues women special featuring Brigitte Purdy, Angel Forrest, Erin Harpe, Heather Newman, Liz Mandeville, Susan Williams & The Right Groove and Teresa James.

South African singer-songwriter and guitarist, Dan Patlansky, completed his current UK tour at London's The Borderline last night, in support of his new studio album 'Perfection Kills' which was released at the beginning of last month and is the follow up to 2016’'s critically acclaimed 'Introvertigo'. Brilliantly supported by Blues singer Mollie Marriott, Patlansky proved once again why he was voted Best Blues Rock Performance in our 2017 WRC Awards. Anyway, with a review and more photos to come, check out today's Video Of The Day.

"It's a short song with Hendrix overtones that makes me eager to hear the rest of the album. 'Still Wanna Be Your Man' slows things down again with a tender song interspersed with searing solos and a voice that had me thinking of Alice Cooper. Not quite sure why but there you go. Closing track, and extended glorified jam is 'My Chana' which gives Patlansky to show off and showboat in equal measures. Jamming with his band the South African shows off every skill with guitar played in various positions. This guy has it all and is not afraid to show it." That was our take the last time we saw 2017 WRC Best Blues Rock Performance winner Dan Patlansky supporting Joanne Shaw Taylor at The Royal Festival Hall last November and Dan returns to London tonight at The Borderline (9pm) with support from Mollie Marriott (pictured) at 8pm.

Bob's flying solo on today's 2017 WRC Award winning Rock On The Ridge Track Of The Day, taking you on a journey in time with Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple (1968-1976), Deep Purple, Argent (John Verity), Bad Company, Thin Lizzy, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult (pictured), Meat Loaf, Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Judas Priest, Journey, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Alice Cooper, Metallica, Queen and the Steve Miller Band.

"The music is mainly Nu-Metal and Heavy Rock with powerful riffs, but with good melodies and it wasn’t long before the crowd were singing along. Not only are they headlining and selling out a major London venue, but are beginning to build a loyal fan base, and this could be the sign that Colt48 are on the way up. They supported Puddle of Mudd at the Garage last year and have opened for Crazy Town, Foxxy and Trapt. They play the songs from their new and previous EP’s, the catchy ‘Hate Hate Relationship’ and ‘The Fire’ being my favourites. The set was given a brief respite with the acoustic ‘Start Again’ which when finished, re-emphasises the power of the rest of the set list. I’ve followed Colt48 from their origins of the previous band, ‘48 Hours’, and it was great to see the previous band member Gary jump onto the stage to sing backing vocals for the encore." Read the whole of Chris Bourlet's Colt48 (Video Of The Day) review from last Friday's gig at London's The Borderline here.

"The set consisted of eleven songs, opening with ‘Nobody’s Fault (But Yours)’. A confident funky struttin' start with deeply soulful vocals that get the hairs at the back of the neck standing! The set flows nicely into 'Copycat', followed by 'I'll Allow You', then 'On Your Own Now', then onto the title track 'One Shot', with beautifully controlled vocal vibrato that crackled with raw intensity, enough to melt the strongest of hearts! 'Sooner Or Later', a more riff driven track rocks hard with powerfully tight musicianship from the band and captivating vocal delivery from Lynne. 'Beautiful Loss' is an arresting ballad written about fellow Saint Jude band member Adam Greene, who sadly passed away in 2012. Delivered from the heart with captivating and engaging emotion, every word has deeply felt meaning, simply stunningly beautiful." Read the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's Jackaman review from last Tuesday's gig at London's The Half Moon, Putney, here, with Bruce Biege's Photo Gallery to follow.

The Kris Barras Band March/April UK tour stops off at London's Thousand Island in Highbury tonight in support of their new album 'The Divine And Dirty' which is due to be released this Friday 23rd March on Provogue/Mascot Label Group. The Devonshire born Blues-Rock guitar-slinger, who we met at Saturday night's 'Rockin' The Blues', has built a fearsome live reputation across Europe through solid touring and the release of 2016's stellar full length debut ‘Lucky 13’ which has seen him battle his way to the front of the British Blues-Rock pack. 2017 saw him step up and step out to play in front of huge crowds such as at Ramblin' Man Fair (pictured) which he will be again returning to this year on Sunday 1st July.

With our review in the pipeline, take a look here today at our Photo Gallery from The Mascot Label Group's very first Rockin’ The Blues European Tour featuring the exceptional talents of Eric Gales, Quinn Sullivan (pictured), Lance Lopez and Gary Hoey which came to a thunderous close at London's The Garage in Highbury on Saturday night.

Multi-platinum selling three-piece X Ambassadors begin their UK and European headline tour, kicking off their nine-date run at London’s Electric Brixton tonight.

The album’s lead single ‘Ahead Of Myself’ (today's Video Of The Day) has clocked up over three million views on YouTube. The band also sold out their headline show at London’s ULU last year and also pulled in one of the biggest crowds on the Radio 1 stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

2017 WRC Best Prog Performance award winners IT returned to London last Wednesday night at 229 The Venue.

With also Tom Ashcroft (drums), Ricky Kincade (bass) and Ryan McCaffrey (keyboards) - the guys have two more gigs lined up, namely Fusion 2018 supporting Godsticks in Stourport on Saturday 31st March and following that they are supporting Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate at The Fiddlers Elbow in Chalk Fram/Camden on Sunday 23rd September.
