Just two days after they supported Walter Trout at The Forum, London - Nashville rock trio SIMO - led by JD Simo - played an exclusive showcase gig at the St. Moritz Club in Soho, London, last night. Situated not far from the old Marquee Club and personally recommended by Joe Bonamassa as “Old school to the max and playing vintage guitars - JD is one of the best out there right now…one of the guys on the scene I’d love to jam with” - the prospect was understandably mouthwatering in advance of their new album release on Friday 29th January 2016. Watch out shortly for a review and pics by John Bull of the gig - but in the meantime take a gander at our Vid Of The Day

The Bowness Bay Blues has built a reputation as 'a flagship for the very best of British Blues' and from 18th - 20th March 2016, the festival will again offer a wide range of top-class music, from acoustic to Chicago-style blues, from roots, soul and funk to electric blues-rock. The Friday highlight will be Trafficker, fronted by superb guitarist, singer and songwriter Tommy Allen. The Saturday headliner will be Sean Webster and the Deadlines (today's Track Of The Day), one of the best bands on the British and European blues scene, showcased in our WRC 'Introducing ...' feature here in February. And the festival will finish with virtuoso multi-instrumentalists Wille and the Bandits, listed in BBC Radio 1's top ten must-see bands at Glastonbury 2014.

The WRC were really sorry to learn last night of the last minute cancellation of today's Tuesday Night Music Club's 1st Anniversary bash. We understand that this was due to the Council calling it off over a 'licensing issue'. Anyway, as a consolation, our Video Of The Day features Richard Townend - one of the many bands supposed to be playing today. It's a new track - soon to be featured on Richard's new album that is provisionally due out we understand late August/early Spetember!

And if you can't wait that long till your next gig then get on down to the iconic 100 Club in Oxford Street tonight. Alabama Bluesman Lil' Jimmy Reed will be headlining, supported not only by Storm Warning (pictured) but also Ruby & The Revelators who are again featured on Today's Track Of The Day. Doors open at 7pm and Storm Warning are on around 8pm playing songs from their new album plus no doubt Junior Well’s 'Hoodoo Man Blues', Led Zeppelin’s 'Custard Pie', Otis Rush's 'Double Trouble', Blind Lemon Jefferson’s 'Jack O’ Diamonds', Bob Dylan’s 'Maggies Farm', Howlin Wolf’s 'Spoonful' and Jimi Hendrix's 'Stone Free'.
