When you have a party with both Salvation Jayne and Troy Redfern (pictured) playing - there's a chance it's going to be busy - particularly when it's at The Tuesday Night Music Club, Hooley Village Club, St Margaret's Road, Coulsdon, Surrey, CR5 3RB!

"Starter over, it was time for the main course: Black Stone Cherry at their loud, bright and electric best. The homely feel was ripped out of the stage, which was laid bare, leaving ample space for Ben’s leaping acrobatics as he bounced and strode from one side of the stage to the other. The band hit the stage as they meant to continue, in full Rock and Roll mode, firing up the crowd and raising the temperature in the auditorium."

And talking of Wrinklystock V - yesterday afternoon saw the Celebrations Theatrical Group Christmas Party - one of our nominated charities who benefitted from our Limehouse Lizzy/U2 Tribe gig at the end of November. Anyway part of the money raised from Wrinklystock V paid for yesterday's entertainment - none other than the Abba Girls (pictured) who certainly made the party go with a bang!

Today we showcase our fifth category in our 2016 WRC Awards, nominees in our Best Tribute category. Firstly, we go back to late October and 'An Evening For Jack' at the newly reopened Shepherd's Bush Empire, which marked the two year anniversary of the late Cream bassist Jack Bruce's passing in 2014, aged 71. Created and produced by Queen’s Roger Taylor, we saw the Queen Extravaganza (pictured) at the Hammersmith Apollo towards the end of November, ending a special UK tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of Queen’s iconic album, ‘A Night At The Opera’. Six days later at Wrinklystock V at Dartford's Mick Jagger Centre we saw headliners Limehouse Lizzy (Vid Of The Day) well and truly keeping the spirit of Thin Lizzy alive. So there you have it - if you want to cast your vote for one of these outstanding Tribute's then simply go here!

"Looking like a baby faced Geoff Capes, with his tartan kilt, work boots, and fat Strat held in hand like some medieval axe, he could have been a terrifying vision from the battle of Bannockburn. Instead, he merely slayed the Sassenach with his killer licks. Ably supported by Lindsay Coulson on bass, Wayne Proctor on drums and the amazing Dutchman Bob Fridzema on Hammond Organ and keyboards, Mr Nimmo and crew showed why they are no strangers to awards in the world of Blues."

Next in our 2016 WRC Awards, we focus on our nominees in the Best Festival category. Firstly, we look back to a wonderful sunny weekend at the end of July when we took in Maidstone's Ramblin' Man Fair (check out our Frost Vid Of The Day with John Mitchell's awesome guitar solo). The weather was also kind for our BluesRockFest at the end of September (later than usual) which was headlined this year by Stevie Nimmo. However, the weather had changed by the time Hard Rock Hell X came around at the beginning of November - but the music was still red hot! So there you have it - if you want to cast your vote for one of these awesome festival's then simply go here!
