Remember that Earlybird Tickets are on sale now for a limited time here for £15 (instead of £20). Beware - once they've gone - they've gone! There are (so far) 7 top Rock and Blues acts from around the UK planned and of course WRC Members only pay £15 - so why not head off here to sign up for free. Don't forget to check back soon for announcements on the other exciting bands we have lined up!

We introduced you to Matt Edwards (pic courtesy of Vanessa Champion) and his band in mid-October - so we were delighted to hear back from Matt following the release of our November WRC Bulletin. "Hey guys, great to see myself included in the new music section - as a full-time independent artist this kind of promotion means a lot." You're more than welcome Matt - so much so that let's re-introduce you to Matt's band with today's Vid Of The Day! Taken at The Cropredy Fringe Festival a few months ago - it's ‘Don’t Need You Anymore’ from their new album ‘Four Berry Jam’.

During a week where both the 2016 Euros footie continues and Mr. Rockrpix was deservedly mentioned in despatches by Sari Schorr no less - it was perhaps fate that Mr. Bull contacted us recommending Croatian Blues! "Have a listen to this guy … Boris Zamba from Croatia - really liked him when I saw him in Italy, when he was at the Blues Challenge (pictured). Need to get him over here!" Given today's excellent Vid Of The Day John - we're sure that Wrinkly and WRC Promotions are already on the case mate!

Today's Black On Blues Track Of The Day includes tracks from Ben Hemmings, Georgie Bonds, Guy King, Howlin Matt, Joe Rusi, John Jackson, Josh Smith and Last Chance Saloon.

Hillbilly Moon Explosion demonstrated the Rock in Rockabilly at a packed Borderline in London on Monday night. Watch out shortly for a review - but in the meantime check out our Photo Gallery here!

"So: There we were on Wednesday evening, heading towards the O2, a world class venue with a totally sorted sound system, to see ELO, completing a journey that you could say started last summer when Wrinkly organised a trip to Hampton Court to see an ELO tribute band which unfortunately, thanks to the incompetence of our national rail system, we never got to see! So when Wrinkly said he had a spare ticket to see the real thing I grabbed it with both hands!" Read the second of our Jeff Lynne ELO O2 Arena London review's here, check out our photo gallery from this Tuesday's gig here plus our Vid Of The Day - also from this Tuesday.

We introduced you to The Simon Kennedy Band (Video Of The Day) in August last year - a Scottish Blues gospel trio who play their own brand of funked up rawking Blues! 2016 will see them release the follow up to their debut album 'Make Up Your Mind' (pictured) and they are looking for people to be part of it. By following this link here you can pre-order the CD or find other goodies that will help the band produce and market the album professionally. This crowd funding campaign will run until the end of April so make sure you grab yourself some great items and support the band at the same time!

Record Store Day is the one day of the year when over 200 independent record shops all across the UK come together to celebrate their unique culture. Special vinyl releases are made exclusively for the day and many shops and cities host artist performances and events to mark the occasion.

Tonight Nazareth invade the Brooklyn Bowl, London, to give us all a little Hair of the Dog. At their peak, they were huge, selling vast quantities of albums and hit singles, pulling in enormous crowds to their shows all over the world. Like all the best bands, Nazareth came from humble roots. They formed in Dunfermline, Scotland, and played the Scottish clubs throughout the 1960’s in their original incarnation as The Shadettes. The name change to Nazareth came in 1970 and in 1971 the band moved to London to start what was to become a long and illustrious recording career. 2015 sees them back on the road featuring new singer Carl Sentance (ex-Geezer Butler Band and Krokus), standing proudly alongside founder member Pete Agnew (bass) and long time band members Jimmy Murrison (guitar) and Lee Agnew (drums).
