Our Blues Club Podcast Track Of The Day returns after a break with another two hours of non-stop Best in Blues with More Music and Less Chat featuring tracks from Joe Bonamassa (pictured), Grady Champion, Bruce Katz, Ally Venable Band, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells and many more!

With a John Verity Band review waiting in the wings from Steve Potter, a WRC first the other evening was the live streaming of the gig via NMB Live. A dress rehearsal for BluesRockFest - the Inamo Covent Garden, London, feed was watched from Greenhithe in Kent to Ontario in Canada. Despite some expected gremlins - the sound and picture quality was apparently great - so if you can't go to BluesRockFest (why not?) - then watch out for news on our plans for live streaming during the day.

What a great night we had on Thursday night at The Inamo Covent Garden Onyx Bar featuring an unplugged set from the excellent John Verity Band. Joining a number of WRC members were a few well known faces including ex-Bad Company guitarist Dave 'Bucket' Colwell and original Zombies bass guitarist Chris White who also co-wrote Argent's hit 'Hold Your Head Up' - today's Vid Of The Day. With a review hopefully to come - please check out our photo gallery here.

Hussey calls this album “the lost link between The Sisters Of Mercy ‘First And Last And Always’ and The Mission’s ‘God's Own Medicine’” - so feast your eyes now on our Track Of The Day - the gloriously melodramatic 'Met-Amor-Phosis', the first single from the album - full of swagger and bombast. To celebrate both the album and their 30th anniversary, The Mission set out on their most extensive and ambitious tour since they reformed in 2011, with special guests Peter Murphy, The 69 Eyes, and The Awakening supporting them in the UK.

'Cry Of Dawn' released on Frontiers Music s.r.l. on Friday 23rd September is Göran Edman's latest child: a straight ahead AOR/Melodic Rock album which highlights his amazing abilities on some superb songs written for him by Michael Palace, Steve Newman, Alessandro Del Vecchio Sören Kronkvist, Daniel Palmqvist and Robert Säll. The result is a true feast for all lovers of this music with hints to the sounds of giants like Night Ranger, Journey, Bad English and Starship! Cry Of Dawn line up with Göran Edman - lead and backing vocals, Michael Palace - guitars and bass, Sören Kronqvist - keyboards and producer Daniel Flores - drums and keyboards.

The WRC took in the very first music promotion at The Inamo Onyx Bar in Covent Garden, London, last night, featuring our old mucker and ex-Argent frontman John Verity in an brilliant unplugged set. With more pics to come - check out today's very brief Vid Of The Day.

Not only are the WRC attending an intimate John Verity acoustic gig in the heart of London tonight - but we are also attempting to broadcast the gig through live streaming at around 8pm UK time! Please bear with us as we enter into the unknown with hopefully a link here and a Facebook link possibly here. Anyway, in the meantime check out today's JV Vid Of The Day filmed at Leo's Red Lion, Gravesend in January.

"They began appropriately with the first track off the album 'Ain't Got Not Money' - Sibun's Gary Moore reminiscent style intro on New Yorker Schorr's protest against the greed of Wall Street, with her powerful earthy vocal already letting The Thames siders know what was in store. A memory from their Surya Showcase gig last December was Sibun's rockin' solo and Olinder's keys on 'Demolition Man' - again forcefully sung and written by Schorr in support of Amnesty International's resolution to decriminalise sex work. The opening groovy rhythm guitar of Innes on 'Cat And Mouse' belies its underlying message of past emotional abuse in the music industry, which saw both Sibun and Olinder excelling again. Schorr's recent performance at Carnegie Hall's Lead Belly Fest resulted in her tribute to the main man with a great cover of 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night' - appropriate to those of us who were wondering what the train's would be like after the gig. And you can take the man out of Zeppelin but you can't take Zeppelin out of the man - or to be precise, Sibun's time with Robert Plant - with their barnstorming cover of 'Rock And Roll' - Innes going for it hammer and tongs - Jimmy eat your heart out mate! The mellower 'Oklohoma' was introduced by Sari - although this correspondent's embarrassing "yes" was wrongfully construed by Sari that I actually had been there - the story being that a last minute change of plan ends up with her gigging with Joe Louis Walker ... hence 'Oklohoma'. Another groovy number - that as predicted built into one mean fusional outro jam with Anders' keys, another Sibun guitar solo (Oli Brown was on the album) plus Schorr's excellent lyrical diction. Superb." Read the rest of AJ's Sari Schorr & The Engine Room review here plus check out our Photo Gallery here.
