Former Europe guitarist Kee Marcello recently played four UK shows prior to the release today of his new solo album ’Scaling Up’. Featured as today's Vid Of The Day, Marcello is using his past as a springboard to take a giant leap into the future - his new music firmly grounded in the songwriting tradition that made him a multi-platinum Rock star in the first place. Kee explores the boundaries of Melodic Hard Rock with contemporary performances and a cracking production - an album his fans will crave.

Canadian alt-rock outfit Bleeker have just completed their very first UK tour supporting Royal Republic and Dinosaur Pile Up. They recently unveiled the lyric video for their new single ‘Where’s Your Money’ (today's Track Of The Day), taken from their critically acclaimed self-titled debut EP, which follows the lead single, and EP title track, ‘Highway’ which cross-pollinates the swagger of The Black Keys with a psych-tinged groove. With cutting guitars, bouncing rhythms and vocalist Taylor Perkins’ exquisite falsetto-led chorus vocals, ‘Where’s Your Money’ comes on like a spectacular cross between Scissor Sisters and Queens Of The Stone Age and promises huge things for the Toronto natives.

"Diamond Head’s current tour is timed to promote their latest album, ‘Diamond Head’, the band’s seventh studio album, but first for ten years. Their set included five songs from the new album. For many bands this would have given their audience a chance to relax, or visit the bar, while waiting for the next familiar number. This was definitely not so for Diamond Head: although tinged with a modern rock feel, the new songs fitted seamlessly into the rest of the set, holding onto the recognizable sound that is unmistakeably Diamond Head. One of them, ‘Shout at the Devil’ was even saved for the encore. It had a pronounced riff and memorable chorus line: despite its unfamiliarity, the audience were soon clapping and singing along. However my favourite of the five was ‘Diamonds’, with a great introduction and superb riffs. As the song’s chorus says, “Diamonds are forever” and, if they continue to maintain the standard of this evening’s performance, so are Diamond Head!"

The Rolling Stones are due to release their new album 'Blue & Lonesome' on Friday 2nd December, which takes them back to their Blues roots, when they performed on Eel Pie Island in the 1960's. Indeed, the Eel Pie Club in Twickenham has been preserving the heritage of the UK Rhythm & Blues and the birth of the Rolling Stones in the Twickenham/Richmond area since the year 2000 (pictured Ronnie Wood and his late brother Art performing at the Club), and is located at the Patch Nightclub, above the Cabbage Patch pub in London Road, Twickenham. In fact WRC Members get £2 off the normal admission on production of a valid WRC members card - so why not head off down there next Thursday 20th October to see The Downliners Sect?

With a review waiting in the wings, today we have some more excellent pics courtesy of John Bull from Sunday night's gig at London's O2 Academy Islington.

Well they certainly came, they saw and they conquered at the magnificent setting of The Royal Albert Hall last Monday night. Yes Brit Floyd not only rolled off some of Pink Floyd's classics but also threw in a few off the beaten track as they stopped off on their Space And Time Continuum World Tour. A set consisting of 'The Wall', 'Animals', 'Wish You Were Here', 'The Division Bell' and 'Dark Side Of The Moon' also included a show-stopping rendition of 'Echoes' in its entirety! Anyway, check out our 'Run Like Hell' Vid Of The Day plus our photo gallery here.

Bristol based Elles Bailey hasn't been dubbed a 'Blues Princess' for no reason. This young Bristolian cuts right against the grain in so many ways, that’s probably why she’s such a rapidly rising star in the British music scene. Nowadays Elles and her band (made up of some of Bristol’s brightest and finest) are currently tearing up the UK and European scene, scoring raves reviews at every place they play from Bristol to Berlin, with energy packed hi-octane performances. And tonight Elles' trademark gravelly voice will grace the Tuesday Night Music Club at the Comrades Club, 194 Brighton Road, Coulsdon, Greater London, CR5 2NF.

As promised, today's Rock On The Ridge Track Of The Day looks back on our 4th BluesRockFest with music from Born Healer, Blacktop Deluxe, Red Butler, Jack J Hutchinson, Catfish, Robin Bibi, The Mentulls and Stevie Nimmo (pictured with Jules and today's Vid Of The Day) plus interviews with some of the acts.

"As suggested the first five tracks are all completely different in nature. ‘Seven Questions’ opens the album with its in your face road Blues with excellent guitar breaks which then leads into ‘High and Dry’ with it’s choppy, funky guitar licks and heartfelt vocals. Next up is ‘Amsterdam’ which is probably my favourite track on the album with a 70’s Prog feel – the song has lots of different moods and the guitar solos are very reminiscent of our old friend Tony Hands from Tea for the Wicked – great stuff!! Follow that with a traditional Blues offering ‘Baby Stop Your Crying’ and a wonderful acoustic track in ‘Walk My Path’ and you have the eclectic full house – ‘Walk My Path’ has a very Joe Bonamassa feel to it as heard on ‘Black Rock’."

"I have to say I thought The British Pink Floyd did an absolutely stunningly first class job. Not only were they brilliant musicians but had obviously spent an awfully long time learning how to play the songs exactly as Pink Floyd had written but, both guitarists must have spent years perfecting Gilmour’s very own inimitable style of guitar playing. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance; the sound quality was superb but the sheer quality and authenticity of their performance did themselves proud. A very great performance from a superbly brilliant and accomplished band of musicians. If I was either Roger Waters or Dave Gilmour I would warmly congratulate The British Pink Floyd and a job very well done. To call them a tribute band really does not do them justice at all – they were superb." That was Phil Thornton's take on Brit Floyd at the RAH over five years ago and we are back there again tonight hopefully for more of the same!
