That's right - Amplified the new exciting three-day Rock/Metal festival featuring a top quality line-up of chart-topping artists, breaking new bands, great food and drink and excellent amenities takes place next weekend on 21st - 23rd July in the glorious Cotswold countryside at Quarrydowns, between Northleach and Aldsworth in Gloucestershire. They recently confirmed its final line-up with the announcement that legendary Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell and his band The B** tard Sons (Vid Of The Day) would be headlining the Red Stripe Main Stage on Saturday night, joining other stage headline acts including Puddle Of Mudd, Reef, Acid Reign, Diamond Head, Evil Scarecrow, Raging Speedhorn, Astroid Boys and Milk Teeth.

Just a reminder that The Pieces Of Mind are playing the Brentwood Festival today supporting Midge Ure, Heaven 17 and Go West in aid of charity. We first introduced you to The Pieces Of Mind in February 2015 when the band celebrated their 50th anniversary with a great new album of original stuff entitled 'Born At The Bosco'. Since then they were featured in June 2016 on BBC Four’s "The UK’s Best Part-Time Band". So why not get along and see the band who shared the stage with David Bowie and Billy Fury as well as The Who during their performance at the Coed Eva Community College in 1966!

Tune in here at 11pm (UK time) tonight for Muriel Anderson's All Star Guitar Night Unplugged, live at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville, Tennessee, featuring Stanley Jordan, Laurence Juber, Jack Pearson, Michael Kelsey, Brooks Robertson, Dan Bankhurst, Sasho Zver, Pat Bergeson, Muriel Anderson and surprise guests. Sponsored by Yamaha Guitars and co-sponsored by Guitar Player Magazine, Alvarez Guitars, GHS Strings, NAMM, and Sam Ash Music - it's an annual event now in its 21st year which benefits the Music for Life Alliance charity.

Our Ramblin' Man Fair countdown continues with the news that we will be interviewing Bad Touch (pictured) on the Saturday after their performance on the 'Rising Stage'. We had the pleasure of interviewing the guys last year so it will be good to catch up with them - so why not check out today's Track Of The Day - filmed when we last saw them at The Borderline in April.

Just under a month ago we caught Oz Rockers Massive (pictured) at London's O2 Arena Stone Free Festival and we liked them so much that we saw them again at Camden's Proud last night supported by Sugarbowl (Vid Of The Day) and Black Market Aftermath - the latter named band being a bit ironic given the terrible fire that recently ravaged Camden Market. Anyway, as expected, the four-piece put a massive smile on everyone's faces with their full frontal Aussie Rock. Watch out for more pics to come and most possibly a review!

Our social media catch up continues following our well deserved break - so step forward UK Heavy Rock band At The Sun who recently tweeted us for our thoughts on their brand new single which is the title track from their EP 'Breathe'. Suffice to say that it rocks - so much so that we have made it today's Vid Of The Day. At The Sun are also playing Shindignation on Saturday 5th August at Bow in East London so why not get on down there and check the guys out!

Today's Blues Club Podcast Track Of The Day has another two hours of non-stop Best in Blues with More Music and Less Chat with New Releases, Classic Tracks and UK IBBA Presenters' Picks. Music this week features tracks from Ronnie Baker Brooks (pictured), Taj Mahal & Keb' Mo', Albert King, Debbie Bond, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Slinky & P'tit Loup and many more.

"Anyway, it was now time for Massive on the Big Entrance Stage and we managed to get up close and personal at the side of the stage. Typical Aussies - these guys are on a perpetual world tour following the release of their critically acclaimed 'Destination Somewhere' album last year - with even Kerrang saying that they were following in the footsteps of Guns 'N Roses. With the return of former band members the Laguda brothers, namely lead guitarist Ben and Aaron on bass, the four piece was completed by Jarrod Edwin (drums) and Marr on vocals, Massive definitely cranked up the tempo as they weaved around the small stage wringing every possible sinew out of their performance with their full frontal Aussie Rock including fans favourite ' Blood Money Blues' (check out the video) and their new single 'Calm Before The Storm' from their forthcoming album. One of the highlights of the day." That was part of our recent Stone Free Festival review and Oz Rockers Massive return to London and Camden's Proud tonight.

The Eel Pie Club - the home of Richmond & Twickenham Rhythm 'n' Blues - at The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ - are proud to present Paul Lamb & The King Snakes tonight. Lamb is the undisputed master of the Blues harmonica and Paul and The King Snakes have won British Blues Band of the Year several times plus UK Album of the Year having worked and toured many times with such greats as Pete Waterman, Mark Knopfler, The Who, Rod Stewart and Jimmy Nail, to name a few. The lineup includes Chad Strentz on vocals and rhythm guitar, Rod Demick on vocals and bass guitar, Ryan "Junior" Lamb on lead guitar and Dino Coccia on drums. Doors open at 8.30pm with music from 9-11pm. WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted admission.

We begin our Ramblin' Man Fair countdown today with news that Black Star Riders, Rival Sons, Supersonic Blues Machine, Monster Truck and more all feature on a free Ramblin’ Man Fair CD given away with the latest issue of Classic Rock magazine. This indispensible slab of Rock ’n’ Roll, titled 'Ramble On', features Summertime classics from 15 bands on this year’s bill, from BSR’s feelgood anthem 'When The Night Comes In' and Rival Sons Blues-Rock barnstormer 'Thundering Voices' to Supersonic Blues Machine’s 'Miracle Man' and Monster Truck’s thunderous 'She’s A Witch'. Elsewhere, you’ve got Blues giants Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Gales and Joanne Shaw Taylor, Psychedelic Rockers Blues Pills and The Vintage Caravan, Country Rock hellraiser Danny Worsnop, plus a whole host of rising stars including Blackwater Conspiracy (Track Of The Day) Aaron Keylock, Stone Broken and more.

We continue to play catch up after our recent well deserved break and in particular Sonia A's tweet which we were mentioned in in early July namely "Who else is up for @stevehill #BluesRock @O2Islington on 19 Oct?! @WRINKLYCLUB". Well we will be there Sonia to see Steve supporting Wishbone Ash - so much so that Mr. Hill is today's Vid Of The Day!

Beginning life as a Psychedelic Multi-Media group, Harrow-based artists IT (pronounced 'it') is a band with a colossal sound that shakes the bones and with a barrage of images that feeds the mind. The sound fuses the classic melodies of Prog Rock’s past with a passion and intensity usually only found in Punk or Metal bands. Politics, religion, war and sexuality all come under the band’s lens for critical examination. Lyrics are intelligent, challenging and – occasionally – darkly humorous. The bottom line is that the IT experience will inform your thinking, feelings and memory long after the last notes have ended. October 2015 saw IT release a track called ‘Last Chance’ for the charity CD compilation ‘Voices for Hospices’, which features – amongst others – a brand new track from Steve Hackett. IT released their long awaited fifth album ‘We’re All In This Together’ in March 2017 to critical acclaim and the second single 'The Working Man' is today's Vid Of The Day.
