Despite the closure of North Greenwich Underground Station on Thursday night due to a security incident (you couldn't make it up) - it was well worth battling all the way through the travel disruption to the O2 Arena to see Nickelback again supported by the awesome Monster Truck. Anyway, with a review from Wrinkly The Silver to come check out our Photo Gallery here which, be warned, includes a few silly pics taken in Sky Backstage beforehand!

Hot on the heels of last night's Rockin' The Blues part 1 with Broken Witt Rebels and the Kris Barras Band at The Proud in Camden - it's round two tonight as Kris and the guys travel down to Leo's Red Lion in Gravesend, Kent, to gig with both Salvation Jayne and Big River!

We hold our hands up and admit that Nickelback were never really on the WRC radar until we saw them at London's O2 Arena four year's ago - and what a great night that was. Returning to the very same venue last night, after also playing Wembley Arena on Friday - the guys had lost none of their trademark entertainment - the evening totally enforced with brilliant support from Monster Truck - who have been on the WRC radar for quite some time now. Anyway with a review and more pics to come - check out today's Vid Of The Day.

"The playlist was well thought out, with the more the gentile tracks of 'Someday' for example punctuating some of the heavier stuff, working the audience (who were lapping it up by this stage) through the various ranges of tempo that Nickelback offer. I particularly enjoyed 'Too Bad' which served to remind me of just how many good tracks this band has released over the years. 'Rockstar' predictably went down with the audience as you would expect!! Chad & Co continued to entertain the crowd throughout the evening, occasionally enjoying a pint on stage and enlightening us with their ever colourful tapestry of language. Fuel, quite literally, was poured on the fire as the occasional pint was launched into the ever gracious mosh pit down below!" That was Matt McCarthy's take on Nickelback at London's O2 Arena four years ago (pictured) and we will be there to see them again tonight - supported by the awesome Monster Truck (today's Vid Of The Day).

In addition to two great photos by Paul Clamplin (pictured) - as promised today we have our Robin Trower/Steve Nimmo Photo Gallery here from their Islington Assembly Hall gig on Tuesday night. With a review on its way - we'd like to also give a shout-out to our newest WRC member - Jonathan Lavery - who we met high up in the gods of the hall on the night. Remember, just fill out a form here and become a WRC member for life for FREE and we'll consequently send you a WRC members card which you can use to benefit from our current members offers which we also hope to add to in the future.

We were handed a King King flyer at Robin Trower's Islington Assembly Hall gig on Tuesday night promoting their forthcoming gig with Birmingham Rock and Blues band Broken Witt Rebels as support! Well tonight the Rebels are headlining a WRC Promotions gig at the Proud, Camden, with support from the Kris Barras Band (today's Track Of The Day). The guys recently launched the official video for their new single ‘Georgia Pine’ and have been nominated for Best Live Act and Best Rock Act at the inaugural Unsigned Music Awards, which will be held at London’s Troxy on Thursday 27th October and they will close the event with a live performance of recent single ‘Guns’.

On this week's Route 66 Track Of The Day, Tim Smith from The Brew chats to host Rory Auskerry plus there's new tracks from their album 'Shake The Tree'. There's also new music from Joanne Shaw Taylor (pictured), Aaron Keylock, Smoove and Turrell, Bad Touch and Blackberry Smoke plus some classic tracks from AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Leslie West's Mountain, Queen and Chuck Berry.

Given yesterday was officially Venues Day 2016 - it seemed appropriate last night that we were at the Islington Assembly Hall to see legendary Blues Rock guitarist and singer-songwriter, Robin Trower (pictured by Paul Clampin), best known for his 1974 milestone album “'Bridge of Sighs'”. It was Robin's penultimate gig on his current UK tour and his special guest was none other than BluesRockFest headliners the Stevie Nimmo Band. As expected, Trower’'s set included tracks from his latest album, “'Where You Are Going To”' plus of course 'BOS' and other classics such as 'Daydream' and 'See My Life'. With a review and more pics to come - check out today's Vid Of The Day.

This week's WRC Award winning Rock On The Ridge Track Of The Day includes Airbourne (pictured), Massive, Red Sky Mary, Crobot, Glenn Hughes, The Brew, Riot Horse, Led Zeppelin, Blacktop Deluxe, 21 Octayne, Mason Hill, The Sheratones (on the introducing stage), The Answer, Hundred Seventy Split, Aerosmith, Dan Patlansky, Blindstone, The Pretty Reckless, Cherry White, Ulysses, GT's Boos Band and Sean Taylor.

Today at London's Roundhouse, Louder Than War with the Music Venue Trust present Venues Day 2016 - a series of panels which will aim to get to the bottom of touring costs and the relationship between venues promoters, agents and artists working in the grassroots music venues sector. In other European countries the Grassroots Music Venue circuit is supported by grant funding to ensure that emerging artists have a place to play and develop their craft. Meanwhile in the UK, venues have fallen into decline and, in many cases, closed shop. Of the 25 venues that launched Oasis on their world dominating career, only 12 remain. The UK has seen more than 35% of its grassroots music venues close in the last decade.
