The WRC were pleased to receive this photo and tweet from Wrinklystock 2 heroes Bon Giovi "Our gig tonight in Belgium... 6000+ people and rising!". Similar to our vist to The Oval yesterday it also looked like it was raining at The Park Pop Festival in Oostkamp!

Lifetime Achievement Grammy-Award winning vocalist-songwriter and revered guitarist Warren Haynes will be coming to the UK to play the stunning St. John's Smith Square in London on Saturday 21st November as part of his European tour. The perfect setting for Haynes to perform his breath-taking new solo album Ashes & Dust, which will feature Nashville based Americana band ChessBoxer backing Warren along with Rock and Jazz Fusion drummer Jeff Sipe. Long recognized as a prolific musician and a cornerstone of the American music landscape, Haynes (our Vid Of The Day) has brought his virtuosic artistry to three of the greatest live groups in rock history – Allman Brothers Band, Gov’t Mule and the (Grateful) Dead!

Enjoy and don't forget the guys are returning to The Red Lion when they support Larry Miller on Friday 28th August.

First the bad news: there's no Rock On The Ridge tonight. However, the good news is that Bob & Jules will be at DeFest this weekend, the annual family music festival that is such an integral and successful part of the Caterham Festival! Again it's in the grounds of deStafford School in Caterham's Burntwood Lane, starting from high noon and going on until around 7pm. There also a barbecue, stalls, karts, a beer tent and of course Ridge Radio! For more info on Defest go here.

Talking of High Voltage - if its successor Ramblin' Man is half as good then the Festival taking place over the weekend of 25th & 26th July at Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent, is a must see! And it's still not too late to take advantage of our offer to save WRC members the cost of their booking fee e.g. £5.50 on a £60 ticket. Go here for ticket information to see bands of the calibre of Scorpions and Greg Allman - then simply contact us below with your ticket requirements and we will get back to you. And it's also not too late to become a WRC member - simply fill out a form here and we'll subsequently send you a WRC members card.

Richard Dunning's latest Blues On The Radio show here tonight between 5pm and 7pm is all about the music as he rams in two hours of some of the best stuff around including BluesRockfest's Troy Redfern Band (pictured) and Little Devils. Not only that but later this evening Richard will be welcoming Poplar Jake & The Electric Delta Review to his Tuesday Night Music Club in St. Margaret's Road, Coulsdon, Surrey CR5 3RB at 8.30pm.

Don't worry - it's just the title of our Vid Of The Day performed by our mates The Hexmen at the 'Almost Blues Festival' in Dundee! Founded by frontman, vocalist and harmonica player George Hexman in the late 70's, joining forces with major movers and shakers of the Liverpool music scene, they have always been known as a Blues band, although The Hexmen’s material is not that easy to categorise. The band’s music is Blues based certainly but the defining quality of The Hexmen has always been energy with an aggressive, indie edge and a psychedelic undercurrent that lends extra dimensions to the music. The current band members have an exciting pedigree. George himself (also a much sought after session Blues harp player) - on guitar Ian Fuller, one of the UK's foremost Blues guitarists who has played alongside some of the greats including Steve Gibbons - and bass player Mike Cain and Mat Shaw on drums who previously gigged together for over 25 years before joining The Hexmen.

Sadly the 'Moose is not on the loose', however tonight, all the way from Canada, both the Blues On The Radio show and the Tuesday Night Music Club welcome Andre Bisson and Loretta Hale from 'Andre Bissons Rhythm & Blues Experience'! You can listen in to the Croydon Radio studio here from 5pm ahead of their TNMC show at Hooley Village Club, St. Margaret's Road, Hooley Village, Coulsdon, Surrey, CR5 3RB. Of course Richard Dunning will also be playing the best of the new releases, all the tracks up for 'Song of the Year' in the British Blues Awards and giving you a heads up on where to see the best Blues!

All roads lead to the Orchard Theatre, Dartford, tonight as the WRC are off to see WRC 2012 Best Tribute Act award winners Purple Zeppelin - two of the greatest Rock Bands of all time, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin – together on the same bill for the very first time!!! Many years have passed since the last UK gigs from the classic line-ups of both bands. Whether you were lucky enough to have seen the originals live or not, Purple Zeppelin will take you back to the magic, the excitement and the sheer raw energy generated by those incredible musicians. And you can still buy tickets priced £19 here - do not miss out - hope to see you there!
