"I wasn't sure to expect when AJ kindly bribed me with a free ticket to this gig at the Orchard. I am not a massive fan of tribute bands although we have had some very good ones at the last few Wrinklystock’s I must admit.. The Beatlez, Bon Giovi and of course the brilliant Bohemians from last year's gig spring to mind.. Then of course I suddenly remembered that Purple Zeppelin had run away with the WRC tribute band award in 2012. So I thought they would be pretty good..And I wasn't wrong in the slightest.."

Well the weather was unbelievable for late September, Leo's Red Lion was packed out and the music was awesome. Yes BluesRockfest finally took place in Gravesend yesterday and what a day to remember it turned out to be. The WRC would like to thank everyone who contributed to the day - whether that was the bands themselves, both the WRC & Red Lion crews, the punters who turned up and supported our event plus of course our sponsors - thank you one and all. Anyway take a gander at our Vid Of The Day with more vids, pics and a review to come.

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.

Following the launch of their new album 'Get Close', our mates Geoff Carne & The Hatz (our Vid Of The Day), are playing the Kettering B&M Festival today. The West London based duo consisting of Geoff Carne (guitar and vocals) and Mick Hatz (drums and percussion), are putting a fresh new feel on the Rock/Blues genre with their exciting original material (with a couple of covers). See you there!

Unlike some WRC members - we can't pretend that we were at London's Borderline nor Poole's Mr. Kyps in 2006 to see some American guitarist named Joe Bonamassa. Although to be fair, we were at Shepherd's Bush Empire for that wow moment in February 2008 and consequently went to see Joe again at Liverpool's Carling Academy in July that same year. Eight year's down the line and many gigs later, including The Royal Albert Hall, we are returning to Liverpool and its iconic Cavern Club - as we have the privilege of seeing JB at an exclusive gig tonight. So watch out for a review, photos and vids over the coming days!
