As usual the tweet to the WRC was to the point: "@WRINKLYCLUB Next Thursday @TheEmpireThurs I will take a bigger look at my blues hero BB King on @MeridianRadio between 8 & 10." So there you have it - make sure you tune into Mike Bartlett's At The Empire Meridian Radio show here tonight!

Hands up if anyone is going to see AC/DC in Paris tonight? The bad news is that the WRC won't be there - even worse news is that their American Independence Day Wembley gig clashes with BluesRockfest - but don't worry - Gravesend is going to be a blast! Anyway, let's turn back the clock to the last time we saw AC/DC just over six years ago at Wembley - when we took our life in our hands in the mosh pit - with our Vid Of The Day (we were just to the right)!

There are not only one but two BluesRockfest bands in the latest Independent Blues Broadcasters Association (UK) Top Fifty Most Played Albums for May 2015. 2014 WRC Award winners Little Devils are top of the pops with their new album 'The Storm Inside' whilst The Rainbreakers are bubbling under at number 37 with 'Blood Not Brass'. And you can tune in here at 7pm tonight to one of those IBBA broadcasters - none other than 'The Marshman' himself - Kevin Beale! Meanwhile our Track Of The Day - although not up to IBBA standards - is our latest Wrinklycast showcasing all the bands at BluesRockfest!

On this week's Route 66 Rory Auskerry plays new unreleased tracks from Royal Southern Brotherhood, Spin Doctors and Erja Lyytinen. Our Track Of the Day also includes Kenny Wayne Shepherd (pictured) plus Rory celebrates birthdays for Bob Seger, Alex Van Halen and John 'Rhino' Edwards of Status Quo. "Probably the best Rock & Blues radio show you'll find anywhere on the internet!"

Of course it would be criminal for the WRC not to tell you about your opportunity to pre-order the new Blacktop Deluxe 2nd Album due for release this summer. Just click here and "Bobby's your Uncle"!

Meanwhile, the David Sinclair Four is taking part in Record Store Day once again! They will be performing live today at 1.30pm at David's Music, Eastcheap, Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire SG6 3DE and tomorrow at 3.30pm at Sound Knowledge, High Street, Marlborough, Wiltshire SN8 1LT. Also to celebrate the release of their new album '4', the band is booked to play an historic Album Launch show at The Borderline, London WC1 on Thursday 14th May with support from the mighty Morrissey & Marshall. Full information and tickets for the show can be purchased here.

With the first Birthday of wrinklyrockersclub.com just over a week away - the WRC were delighted to reach another landmark yesterday when we passed the 1,000 followers mark on Twitter. This welcome news also coincided with a very kind tweet from Chantel McGregor on receiving news of her 'Best Acoustic' WRC Award: "@WRINKLYCLUB thank you so much for my acoustic award... Off to write more acoustic songs this year!!! Hugs to everyone xxx" Of course our previous website wrinklyrockersclub.co.uk was launched at the end of December 2010 and to celebrate our first birthday we will be resurrecting part of the 2010-2014 Wrinkly archives over the coming months!

It's fair to say that my very first 'Pop Idol' was indeed David Bowie. 'John I'm Only Dancing' was one of the very first single's I ever bought and is still a staple on my jukebox (along with b side 'Hang On To Yourself') 44 years later. Ouch! Of course that lead me to the album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' and as they say the rest is history as I went back through Bowie's entire back catalogue - the stand-out for me easily being 'Hunky Dory'. The adjective 'unique' is much overused in Rock circles but in Bowie's case it was spot on. Not only was his music and lifestyle different to the traditional 70's fayre but his memorable lyrics still effortlessly roll off the tongue all these years later. He was also the master of reinvention and despite me honestly losing the plot after 'Aladdin Sane' there were still sniffs of the old Bowie that I loved so much in the singles 'Rebel Rebel', 'Heroes' and in particularly 'Ashes To Ashes'. It pains me to say it but we were at the Isle Of Wight festival in 2004 with Bowie playing on the Sunday night (Vid Of The Day) but we never made it (that's another story) - so I never actually saw him live. Although, ironically we did see perhaps my favourite Bowie track of all time 'All The Young Dudes' performed of course by Ian Hunter with Spiders From Mars guitarist Mick Ronson just before Ronson's death in 1993. David you were one cool dude man. AJ.

Anybody who posts on our Facebook page "We're Wrinkly" will ultimately be rewarded! Step forward Black Whiskey - the latest band in our 'Introducing ....' feature with roots firmly entrenched in those classic sounds of the seventies and early eighties but these guys have been involved in diverse styles over the years. Their music sounds fresh and modern but stays true to the blueprint! Consisting of Simon Gordon on vocals, Kev Ingles on guitar, Mark T. Parkin on bass and Rich Bannister on drums - it's no surprise that bands like Zeppelin, Free, Purple, UFO, Schenker, Scorpions, Lizzy and Rainbow are all huge influences and this is hugely evident in the music they make!

Today's Track of The Day features guitar legend Joe Satriani who chats to host Rory Auskerry on a Route 66 Interview Special. The guys discuss some of the stories behind Joe's songs, why Joe has never really taken to writing lyrics, how artificial constraints can help during the creative process and how not all Rock singers are created equal. Don't forget also to tune in here tonight at 6pm as 2015 WRC Award nominated Route 66 brings you two hours of the best new & classic Rock & Blues music broadcast from the UK!

The 'King Of Tone', US guitar legend Leslie West joined Rory Auskerry for an interview on this week's Route 66 show. Listen to our Track Of The Day as they discuss Leslie's band Mountain, The Vagrants and West, Bruce & Laing. Leslie also talks openly about his disability, getting clean and the fun he had recording tracks with The Who, Joe Bonamassa and Brian May. Also on the show are new tracks from the Dead Daisies, Def Leppard, Within Temptation and Jared James Nichols plus there's music from Motley Crue, Billy Gibbons and The BFG's, Albert Cummings, Queen & Paul Rodgers, The Rolling Stones and more.
