- Fleetwood Mac - Rock Of Ages! 31 May 2015
Maybe Fleetwood Mac will still be doing what they do 20 years from now. It wouldn’t surprise me writes Wrinkly The Silver. They lived through peak self-destruction, through the decades when bands were losing members left and right to the side effects of 20th century music culture, lived through the years when fame sounded a lot like a death knell. They endured more fractures in public than many people have to deal with in private. But Fleetwood Mac were lucky. They made it out. You can read the remainder of Wrinkly The Silver's superb review here - in the meantime our Vid Of The Day is footage from the O2 Arena, London gig.

- Who Are You? 6 May 2015
Given that The Who played there in 1974 and 1976 - the WRC couldn't pass up the opportunity yesterday of putting Wrinklystock IV up in lights! Seriously if you look very closely at the right hand bottom corner of the Valleys big screen you will see our poster promoting our T.Rextasy charity gig! In fact yesterday's game at Charltons ground in South East London raised money for the very same learning disability charities we are supporting at the Mick Jagger Centre on Saturday 21st November. Anyway the bad news was that AJ's team lost 3-2 but the good news was that they raised over £2,500! As The Who would say - "Bargain"!
