Yes you read it right - Mollie Marriott (Vid Of The Day), daughter of former Small Faces and Humble Pie singer/guitarist Steve Marriott and step-daughter to singer Joe Brown, will perform a rare concert next week at London’s Borderline on Thursday 1st June. If you are into Sheryl Crow, Alannah Myles and Bonnie Raitt, Mollie will be right up your alley. Mollie has spent her music career in the wings, having worked mostly as a backing singer with numerous artists including Oasis and her stepfather Joe Brown. Now she’'s taking centre stage. Mollie’'s live performances exude a warm, charming rapport with her audience. Her sassy Soulful Blues vocals are full of classic influences. She can find a raw emotional edge that the best Soul and Rock singers have –at times rootsy and upscale through to modest and classy with a sustained relaxed feel.

Today's Track Of The Day is the 2016 WRC Award Winning Rock On The Ridge show originally broadcast on Saturday - the night after we joined Bob and Jules at the Islington Assembly Hall to see both Inglorious (pictured) and Mason Hill - who are both featured on the show. Other music includes Duel, These Wicked Rivers, New Black Roses, The Blackfires, The Magpie Salute, Snakecharmer, The Greasy Slicks, Reverend And The Makers, The Ivory Elephant, Doomsday Outlaw, Hollowstar, Dead Man's Whiskey, Goldray, Long John And The Killer Blues Collective, Soundgarden, Led Zeppelin, and on their introducing stage Hollow Illusion.

"Despite teething problems with both the Borderline's sound and lighting - Sari and the guys soldiered on - with Sari resting her voice as Innes led the band into a classic cover of Freddie King's instrumental 'The Stumble' which cooly set us up for another Blues standard - T-Bone Walker's 'Call It Stormy Monday' - with Olinder's delightful opening keys, Innes' jaw-dropping fretwork and Sari's sultry vocal - this was the stand-out for me on the night and showed the class of this band - not forgetting the literal 'Engine Room' of Jefferies and O'Rourke. Two new tracks (for me) sandwiched 'AFON's, the mellow and groovy, 'Oklohoma', with its mean fusional outro jam with Anders' keys, another Sibun guitar solo and of course Schorr's excellent lyrical diction. The former 'Don't You Call My Name' and the latter 'American Boy' both kept the Blues Police and momentum in check." That was our take on Sari Schorr & The Engine Room's London Borderline gig (pictured) in March this year and the guys are still on the road stopping off tonight at The Beaverwood Club in Chislehurst, Kent, with support from Adam Sweet.

Today's Track Of The Day is another Black On Blues women special featuring Nina Massarra, Bridget Kelly Band, Laura Cheadle, Ruby And The Revelators, Patty Reese, Annie Mack and Kate Lush.

Walkway’s distinct vocals, jaw dropping solos and solid rhythm section have created a huge buzz and gained the band the reputation as one of the UK’s best unsigned Rock bands. The guys have been very busy recently behind the scenes getting together the artwork, running order and title for their new album titled 'WWIII' which will be released on Saturday 8th July. To coincide with the release on the 8th, the band will also be playing a launch show at The Waterfront Norwich which also marks the bands 1000th show since forming 10 years ago. Tickets are now on sale so make sure you get yours quick - it's going to be a night to remember!

Our thanks to new WRC member Jim Bellew who has been in contact to point out that Voodoo Room (Vid Of The Day) are playing the Arlington Arts Centre, Newbury, on Friday 9th June. In fact we first 'introduced' you to VR in March 2015. An exciting classic power trio, paying tribute to both Hendrix and Cream, they perform a kicking, world class show in total appreciation of these two massive pioneers of classic Blues/Rock!! Featuring Pete Orr on guitar and vocals, John Tonks on drums and Andy Tolman on bass - there are no wigs, no pantomime - just great UK musicians playing great music!

With a review from Mother on its way - today we have our Islington Assembly Hall photo gallery here, courtesy of Bob Wilson, following an awesome night of live music from both Inglorious and Mason Hill two days ago. A healthy WRC contingent were present as our 2016 Best Rock Performance award winners launched their new album 'Inglorious II' - a set which also included covers of Deep Purple's 'Burn' plus a moving tribute to Chris Cornell with 'Black Hole Sun'. Unfortunately, there was no time to present Inglorious with their award, but we did manage to interview Mason Hill (pictured) guitarist James Bird after their sound check - their set including new stuff from their much anticipated new album on Frontiers Records, a cover of Mountain's 'Mississippi Queen' plus their tribute to Cornell. The WRC would like to thank Mike Exley and Peter McLean for making the interview with James possible - watch out for that shortly!

Ahead of their show at Camden Rocks in a couple of weeks, Birmingham 4-piece Blank Parody have just put out the video for their new single ‘Marching Through The Smoke’ which is today's Vid Of The Day. The video has been shot including some incredible landscapes and drone footage across Dartmoor, with some pretty unique band performance shots. It's definitely not your average video. The track was produced by Jim Pinder who has worked with the likes of Fightstar & Bullet For My Valentine and mastered by Geoff Pesche (Pulp) at Abbey Road.

Modern Blues torch bearer Kenny Wayne Shepherd has released ‘Baby Got Gone’ (today's Track Of The Day), the first track from his brand new album ‘Lay It On Down’ which will be out on Friday 21st July via Provogue/Mascot Label Group. KWS has also made the track available for free download here. In January, when Shepherd and his band entered the Echophone Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana, the mission statement was nothing if not ambitious: the greatest songs of Shepherd’s career. No more. No less. KWS embarks on a European tour in July/August which inclues Ramblin' Man Fair on Saturday 29th July.

The WRC also managed to take in this week London's Victoria & Albert Museum exhibition - Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains. Whether you are a big Floyd fan or not - you simply have to go along and see this slice of total Rock history as you literally follow the pathway from the '60's to the present day. With some awesome memorabilia (pictured) plus jaw dropping Floyd footage at the end - do not miss it. The exhibition finishes on Sunday 1st October so you still have plenty of time to book your tickets!

"So nine songs in and such is the pace, we finally get our first "good evening" from the man himself, time is simply flying by. Now then, this is where the reviewer has a bit of a dilemma. The live version of 'Mountain Time' on 2008's 'Live From Nowhere In Particular', is, quite simply one of my favourite ever songs by anyone. The closing guitar solo on that track, makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention. Unfortunately, this obviously cannot be replicated with an acoustic guitar, however it's still a truly great song and this new arrangement can't be faulted, with the vocals of Barnes and Tippins adding to its depth, a classic song, whichever style you prefer. It must be time for a cover version, the first of three in fact. The Folk song from the 1920's, 'How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live' has been covered by such luminaries as Ry Cooder and Bruce Springsteen. You can tell Joe loves this song, with his take on it, blending Blues, Folk and Gospel to make this arrangement stand head and shoulder's with all those that have gone before." You can read the whole of Phil C's review of Joe Bonamassa's new album 'Live At Carnegie Hall - An Acoustic Evening' (Track Of The Day) that's due to be released on Friday 23rd June here.

A healthy WRC contingent were present at 2016 Best Rock Performance award winners Inglorious' official album launch of 'Inglorious II' at London's Islington Assembly Hall last night. And if you wanted proof of why they walked away with last year's honour for their performance at Ramblin' Man Fair - then this was it! Brilliantly supported by Mason Hill, who incidentally were also at Ramblin' Man last year - we also managed to interview band members Scott and James after their sound check. Anyway check out today's Vid Of The Day - with more pics from Bob Wilson and a review from Mother to come!
