Our recently featured Joe Bonamassa 'One Less Cross To Bear' Vid Of The Day is now available for free MP3 download here! In January 2015, JB took to the iconic Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall for the first time for a sold-out, two-night run that allowed him to fulfill his lifelong dream of performing in one of the world’s most legendary venues. Bonamassa shared this experience with fans and music lovers around the world when he released at the beginning of October 'Joe Bonamassa – Live At Radio City Music Hall' (see our new Video Of The Day) as a CD/DVD set and CD/Blu-ray set.

Last night's Blues On The Marsh show saw four absolutely cracking, brand new albums being played by The Marshman: Bob Malone, Richard Townend and The Mighty Bosscats, Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes and Sugar Brown. Add that to Meschiya Lake & Little Big Horns, Queen Delphine and The Crown Jewels, Philip Fankhauser, Leon Bridges and Deb Ryder plus throw In a rememberance corner with Earl Gaines, Barkin' Bill Smith and Blind Willie McTell ..... and today's Track Of The Day makes a superb Blues Gumbo served up of course by Mr. Beale!

Mud Morganfield, eldest son of the King of the Blues, Muddy Waters, will be celebrating his father's centenary at The Eel Pie Club, The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ tonight. Mud delivers his charismatic Chicago Blues of the highest order to audiences around the world and has released a new album 'For Pops', where he is joined by Fabulous Thunderbirds frontman, Kim Wilson. The album was a winner at the 2015 Blues Music Awards, winning the Traditional Blues Album category. Morganfield looks and sounds strikingly like his father although he also has his very own Mojo working and is blessed not only with a big and powerful voice but also a natural sense of showmanship that ensures that audiences fall into the palm of his hand. His sets consist of Muddy Waters classics and his own original material and he has shared the stage and gained the respect of many of his Dad's ex-sidemen and Chicago Blues superstars, including Buddy Guy, Eddie Clearwater, Jimmie Johnson and Mojo Burford to name a few. Tickets (if still available) are £17 cash on the door with doors opening at 8.30pm and music from 9:15pm.

Crobot (our Video Of The Day) and Scorpion Child have been added as support to Heaven's Basement Southampton show at the Engine Rooms on Thursday 3rd December. The WRC first saw Heaven's Basement at the Calling Festival on Clapham Common last year but before Southampton the Nuclear Blast riffing label mates will be touring the UK throughout November and December on their 'Invasive Species Tour' starting in London at The Underworld on Friday 6th November. Do not miss them!

"The room is packed and the anticipation is high for Chantel’s set, which is inevitably delayed, due to longer changeovers and slight overruns, not uncommon in any festival, but with no curfew to worry about, no-one was watching the clock. When people think of Chantel McGregor (Vid Of The Day), they think ‘guitar prodigy’ but in addition she’s a talented songwriter, with a great voice, something so many guitar acts lack." Read the rest of WRC member Steve Borkowski's BluesRockfest Chantel McGregor review here.

Taking of band sponsors - The Blues Club did the WRC proud last Wednesday night with their latest broadcast which included all six of our BluesRockfest bands including their own sponsored band Little Devils! Not only that but today's Track of The Day also includes former BluesFest bands Aynsley Lister and The Mentulls!

We continue our Ramblin' Man countdown with a tough call as to who to see after first band Blues Pills. The WRC nod goes to Ian Siegal (Vid Of The Day) who is on the Blues Stage at 2pm although this does mean we can catch the end of Knifeworld's set as we head over to the Prog Stage afterwards! Decisions! Decisions! Anyway, Siegal is a multiple British Blues Awards winner with consecutive nominations in 2012 and 2013 for Contemporary Album of The Year. From one gig to the next, he might be a solo acoustic performer or a blood-and-thunder bandleader. Siegal is known as a Bluesman, but it’s just one shade in the palette of an artist who slips between continents, eras and expectations!

"I'm gonna play @68_75 on the show tonight from 6pm BST. A great suggestion by @WRINKLYCLUB. Tune in via http://pureradio.org.uk #Rock #Blues". Yes that was Rory Auskerry's tweet yesterday evening in advance of his Route 66 show! Respect to Rory for including some of the bands we suggested last Wednesday including 68-75 (our Track Of The Day) plus Montrose's 'Space Station Number 5' and of course the bands we saw at Wembley (see Rory's selfie) i.e. Thunder andZZ Top. Watch out for the podcast later this week which will be our Track of The Day!

'Introducing ....' is back! Our Vid Of The Day is Paul Hegley - a singer and songwriter from Bedfordshire. His Blues-influenced music seems to leap from the shadows of the greats, with a gritty edge, haunting tones coupled with a poetic lyrical flair. Musically he’s at home with his Gibson guitar and vintage amps, drawing influence from hallowed greats like Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, and Robert Johnson, right through to modern day hero’s such as Jack White, Gary Clark Jnr. and The Black Keys. The Paul Hegley Band are an exciting new Blues band, notable for their incendiary Blues Rock style plus packing a huge punch with an electric live show and haunting tone!

The latest in our six independent BluesRockfest reviews is now available here and this time it's The Blues Club Podcast's very own Malcolm Barker and his take on main support band Albany Down. Malcolm & Jim at The Blues Club also kindly sponsored WRC Award winnersLittle Devils' set at BluesRockfest and consequently they featured them in their latest podcast which is today's Track Of The Day!

Recorded on a beautiful Summer's evening setting of The Bulls Head by the Thames in Barnes, our July Wrinklycast interview (and today's Track Of The Day) welcomed Toronto based Blues guitarist, singer and songwriter Chris Antonik to London twelve days ago. Halfway through his debut UK tour, an intimate setting contrasted with Chris's appearance at The Upton Blues Festival the previous weekend. A rising star of the vibrant Canadian Blues scene, listen to amongst other things, Chris discuss the financial reality of touring as an independent artist, his influences of Dylan, Cale and compatriot Cohen, and his excitement and the ambition behind his new album due out in 2017.

Our countdown to Ramblin' Man Fair weekend at Mote Park, Maidstone on 23rd/24th July continues - with news that if you download the RMF app onto your phone - you will be able to check out the stage timings and work out your itinerary for both days. Already a potential headache is the Saturday night clash between Whitesnake (pictured) on the Main Stage and Family (see today's Vid Of The Day) on the Prog In The Park Stage!
