Nice to hear from our old mucker ex-Argent frontman John Verity who has recently remastered 'Zep It Up' which encaptures a couple of days spent recording these classics some twenty years ago! If you'd like to get hold of the new CD with JV having some fun with John Clark (drums), Dave Kinley (bass), ably assisted by Neil Gowland on acoustic and twelve string guitars then simply go here. Meanwhile JV's Band (see Our Vid Of The Day of their recent appearance at the Mold Blues & Soul Festival) are playing The Bear Club in Luton tonight at 8.30pm - expect plenty of Blues and even a bit of Argent and Zep maybe?

You can now pre-order the official 3rd Annual Gravesend BluesRockfest DVD/CD here featuring both two video and two audio tracks from each of the six artists that appeared at the The Red Lion, Gravesend, Kent, on Saturday 4th July 2015. The beer was cold and the music, like the weather was hot! And if you were lucky enough to have been there, you would have seen today's Troy Redfern Band Vid Of The Day live! And if you were'nt there (why not?) - then why not buy it to see what all the fuss is about! Don't forget that WRC Members can also get 10% off by simply entering their coupon code!

Because of the Summer holidays the bad news is that there is no Malcolm this week but the good news is this week's Blues Club Podcast has been released earlier and of course still features Jim! Today's Track Of The Day includes new releases, UK IBBA picks for August and of course Classic Blues & Rock, R&B, Soul, Jazz, Funk, Gospel and Americana! Phew!

"Day one of the High Voltage reincarnation after four long years now known as Ramblin’ Man Fair took the WRC to the Garden of England and Mote Park in the heart of Kent's administrative capital Maidstone to be exact. There is no doubt that High Voltage has been badly missed by us Wrinkly Rockers so there was a lot of fascination on how well this brand new event organised by The Rock Collective and TeamRock featuring Classic Rock, Progressive Rock and Country and Blues music would go.. Never missing a trick, the WRC (well AJ actually) had been in discussion with the organisers for some time and after some delicate negotiations the Club had been provided with some Press passes as well. So AJ, Wrinkly the Silver and photographer John Bull gobbled those up giving unlimited roaming capability. Very useful!! AJ was preoccupied with pre-birthday events so the Saturday posse consisted of Silver, Wrinkly the Biker and his mate Rob and of course John to take his usual superb photos." Go here for the rest of Wrinkly The Silver's review, here for our Saturday photo gallery plus have a gander at Video Of The Day from Sunday!

Our Track Of The Day is dedicated mostly towards the nominees for this years British Blues Awards - playing a track from every category plus clips from some of the nominated artists who have been previously featured on Rory Auskerry's Route 66 show including Danny Bryant, King King,Chantel McGregor, Aynsley Lister, Joanne Shaw Taylor (pictured) and more. There's also music news, classic tunes from Thunder and Rod Stewart plus some really sloppy jockin' from Rory!

Sad to report that we weren't the only one's with gremlins this week. Rory Auskerry's excellent Route 66 broadcast last Sunday had no 'listen again' link as they had some technical issues - hence we could not feature it as our 'Track Of The Day'. However, Rory's back live in the studio tonight here on Pure Radio 107.8FM at 6pm for some 'rockin' jockin' - and fingers crossed that it will also be our 'Track Of The Day' later this week!

No that's not Wrinkly The Silver body surfing at BST Hyde Park on Friday - it's actually lead singer Ty Taylor of Vintage Trouble! Wow what a week - capped off with The Who, Paul Weller, Kaiser Chiefs, the brilliant Vintage Trouble (thanks for the tip-off Steve B.) and The Standard Lamps (our Track Of The Day and downloadable)! WTS's review will follow soon but in the meantime our BST Photo Gallery is now available here - a great reflection on another great day. And not trying to steal WTS's thunder - but a big shout out to all of you who we had the pleasure of meeting during the festival. Drop us a line if you're in one of the pics and if you're not - then send us a message anyway!

"A pre-release copy of the Rainbreakers latest four track EP 'Blood Not Brass' unexpectedly landed on my doormat several weeks ago. Always on the lookout for new music to play on the Rock On The Ridge radio show, it was only a matter of seconds before the headphones were on and the Rainbreakers hit my ears full on. Having been impressed by the music, I was really looking forward to seeing the band play live." Read the whole of Jules' great BluesRockfest Rainbreakers review here.

We very much doubt that you will ever see them at The Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford, but tonight punters at The Eel Pie Club, The Cabbage Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ will get a chance to 'Get Stoned' on two hours of nostalgia as The Rollin' Stoned play the best of '64-69'! The Rollin' Stoned have been endorsed by Keith Richards’ mother as ‘outstanding and suitably fit stand-ins for the Stones’ and have also been described by The Times as "The nearest thing to the real article" and have been revered by both Stones fans for their authenticity and the real Rolling Stones who booked them for the band's birthday! Doors open at 8.30pm and the music starts at 9pm. WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted £11 admission.

Today's Video Of The Day is another Virgil & The Accelerators vid taken by Steve Borkowski at their Red Lion, Gravesend gig at the beginning of the month. Don't forget that is now just over five weeks to BluesRockfest at The Red Lion on Saturday 4th July. For ticket information on all the bands that are playing simply go here and remember if you are a WRC member just go here where you can not only get a £3 discount off your ticket but you can find all the other current members offers including Ramblin' Man!

If you listened to yesterday's 'Track Of The Day' (and if not - why not?) - then you would have heard Rory Auskerry mention that on his Route 66 show next Sunday at 6pm he will be interviewing BluesRockfest headliner Chantel McGregor! Watch this space for more details on Sunday and also when we make Rory's podcast available as our Track Of The Day!

The fallout continues from Friday's Virgil & The Accelerators/Loose Moorings gig with new pictures from Mr. Rockrpix himself - John Bull - here in our Photo Gallery plus here on Rockrpix's own amazing website. Not only that but Wrinkly has also chipped in here with another VATA video that has been added to our Video Vault!
