- A Terrible Way To End A Memorable Day 7/6/17
"One of the challenges of Camden Rock's is to ensure that you always leave enough time to get from one venue to the another - a task that get's more and more difficult during the day as you consume more alcohol and try and work out both the map and the schedule. Fortunately enough, we arrived in plenty of time for Big Boy Bloater and The LiMiTs at The Proud - so much so that we were able to stand right down the front. We had the pleasure of interviewing and seeing BBB at London's iconic 100 Club just over a year ago and it was a no-brainer to catch the big man in action again. Despite playing as a three-piece with no keyboards, their Roots and R&B rocked as usual which began with the brilliantly entitled 'I Love You (But I Can't Stand Your Friends)' - from last year's album ‘Luxury Hobo’ - with its 70's Rock n' Roll style, big guitar and lyrics, followed by the musical barnstormer, 'It Came Out Of The Swamp', with its brilliant baseline, mean guitar and imaginative lyrics, which Bloater delivered perfectly in a very George Thorogood-esque manner."
- Route 66 London Tribute 7/6/17

- Introducing ..... King Of The North 7/6/17
Our thanks to WRC member Wrinkly The Silver Fox for introducing us to King Of The North (today's Vid Of The Day) - a Hard Rock duo from Australia. The band comprises Andrew Higgs (guitar/vocals) and Steve Tyssen (drums/back up vocals). Their intense live shows and powerful brand of modern Rock has blazed a new trail in the two-piece band format. The uniqueness of KOTN is created by Andrew’s pioneering of the '3 from 1 guitar pedal'. This pedal creates the sound of 2 guitars plus a bass from just one guitar. It can sound like all three playing together or all separate lead, rhythm and bass sounds. First timers are often left looking for the extra guitarists amidst the wall of sound. Known for as dynamic live act, King Of The North play everything live, there are no pre-recorded noises or samples used live or on their recordings. All sounds come from two voices, guitar and drums!
- Sweet Mollie 6/6/17
"At the Borderline, Mollie was backed by a five-piece band, which delivered a high calibre set of songs from Mollie’s highly anticipated forthcoming album ‘Truth Is A Wolf’ which will be released in September 2017. The set included masterfully crafted gems written by Mollie such as ‘Transformer’, ‘A Million Miles’, Give Me A Reason’, ‘Gravity’, Trouble and Shame’, the album title track ‘Truth Is A Wolf’, the brilliant new single ‘Control’, released in March this year, and the excellent ‘Ship Of Fools’, which was a special request from one of Mollie’s loyal fans in the front row. This song was released as a single back in 2014." Read the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's Mollie Marriott review (photos courtesy of Laurence Harvey) from her London Borderline gig last Thursday here.

- Camden Rocks Photo Gallery 5/6/17
To have been confronted by the attrocity that happened at London Bridge on the way back from Camden Rocks on Saturday was truly shocking. Our thoughts go out to all the family and friends of those who were either killed or injured - on a night when they were simply relaxing and enjoying themselves - just as we had been during a brilliant Camden Rocks. For what it's worth, and with a review still to come, check out our photo gallery here from the day.
- Slam Dunk 5/6/17
"St. Albans band Enter Shikari headlined the 2017 main stage, bringing to an end their special shows to mark 10 years since the release of debut album 'Take To The Skies'. Although not a "Big Name", they really ought to be. With dry ice and a fine laser show lighting up the night sky they attracted a huge crowd who were loving what was a polished and professional performance. These guys closed what was again an impressive event and sent the fans home tired but with some great memories. It's another fine event this year. I will be back again next year to watch the young and beautiful people enjoying the best times of their lives. A heart-warming sight. And an ear warming sound."

- Camden Rocked 4/6/17
Well we came, we saw and we conquered yesterday - taking in some of the 250 bands and artists across 25 of Camden Town’s legendary music venues.

Anyway, watch out for a review and pics over the coming days but in the meantime check out today's Vid Of The Day.

- Nell's Photo Gallery 4/6/17
We were still buzzing at Camden Rocks yesterday following the awesome Eric Gales/Gary Hoey gig at Nell’s Jazz & Blues in Kensington, London, the night before. It was the final gig of Eric's UK tour and believe it or not it was the first time both guitar whirlwind Eric and guitar maestro Gary had played England's capital city. We were also lucky enough to do two amazing interviews with both Gary and Eric before the gig - so look out for that plus a review to come but in the meantime check out our photo gallery here.
