The legacy of Huddie 'Lead Belly' Ledbetter, the iconic folk-blues singer, songwriter and guitarist famed for his vast repertoire of songs and incredible influence, will be celebrated in a special night of music at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday 15th June. Lead Belly Fest will see a host of artists inspired by the iconic bluesman pay tribute to his work by recreating his classic repertoire. Topping the bill will be the legendary Van Morrison, musical maestro Jools Holland, Animals frontman Eric Burdon, Manfred Mann singer Paul Jones, Rose Royce’s Gwen Dickey and former Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show vocalist Dennis Locorriere. Josh White Jr., Laurence Jones, Gemma Ray and Ruby Turner will also join the incredible line up, as well as 2014 WRC Award winners Slim Chance (our Video Of The Day), the band formed originally by Ronnie Lane!

Good to hear recently from one of our new friends Jim McNeill - one of the presenters of 'The Blues Club'! Jim and his partner in crime Malcolm broadcast from Switch Dunmow on Wednesday evenings between 8pm and 10pm here plus all the usual platforms. Jim is a member of the IBBA (Independent Blues Broadcasters Association) and their current favourite bands/artists are Jo Harman, Marcus Bonfanti, King King, Ian Siegal, Babajack, Will Wilde, Rosco Levee and Kat & Co. - hence their latest podcast is our 'Track Of The Day'!

Kev Beale's latest 'Blues On The Marsh' podcast and our 'TOTD' is a cracker of a show. For your delectation listen to Half Deaf Clatch, Anders Osbourne & North Mississippi Allstars, Blue Swamp Band, Breezy Rodio, CeDell Davis, Chris Daniels & The Kings Featuring Freddi Gowdy, Dave Moretti Blues Revue, Doug MacLeod, Giles Hedley, Hermann Posch and Christian Sand, Igor Prado Band, John Primer and The Teardrops, Leif de Leeuw Band, Mete Ege London Blues, Joe Bonamassa (pictured), Nora Jean Bruso, Regina Bonelli, Rory Gallagher, Taste, Nuno Mindelis, Ryk Mead and Uncle Sinner! Phew!

Just five days and counting to the WRC's Joe Bonamassa gig at the Hammersmith Apollo on Thursday. As usual let us know if you're going. And if you want to know what all the fuss is about you can download JB's live cover of 'One Of These Days' from his 'Live From Nowhere In Particular' album for free here. However, the much missed Alvin Lee must be turning in his grave as the free download is wrongly labelled 'One Of Those Days' (sic) - you couldn't make it up! Anyway, appropriately our 'Video Of The Day' is Ten Years After and 'One Of These Days'.

Other than 'Keeping Music Live' one of the main aims of this Website is to share music. Therefore our thanks to Edith Idle for getting in touch - hence our Video Of The Day of The Blue Bishops who have recently featured on Paul Jones' Radio 2 show no less!

Yesterdays tweet from one of our many WRC followers Suezan said it all "@WRINKLYCLUB @TRextasyBand congratulations on your sell out event tonight, a storming success @mickjaggercentr" Well it took a year to plan - but after last night's amazing Wrinklystock IV featuring T. Rextasy and The Replicants - we think it was our best one yet? Not only did we raise £1,000 for our nominated charities but the gig itself was awesome. A massive thank you to all of you that supported the evening and here's to Wrinklysock V! Watch out for a review and some pics over the coming days - but in the meantime check out our Vid Of The Day!

In October our old mucker Richard Dunning announced that his Tuesday Night Music Club was going weekly! Therefore from November 24th (see poster) the TNMC are adding another venue right in the centre of Coulsdon, five minutes walk from two rail stations and with loads of bus routes right outside. So one week they'll be at their present venue in Hooley Village and the next they'll be in Coulsdon, then back to Hooley and so on and so on. Got it? Good! Don't forget that this Tuesday's gig is Malaya Blue at the usual venue: the Hooley Village Club, St. Margaret's Road, Hooley Village, Coulsdon, Surrey, CR5 3RB.
