When an ex-Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist tweets - you have to sit up and listen! So when Skinny Molly's Mike Estes tweeted the WRC yesterday about former Bad Company guitarist Dave 'Bucket' Colwell - "he's awesome" - we thought it was worth reminding you that Bucket is appearing this Saturday at Leo's Red Lion, Gravesend! Don't forget that as a special deal for his fellow Blues and Rock fans, our old mucker Damo Fawsett is offering discounted tickets to WRC members to this 3G event with both Damo's band Big River plus the excellent Salvation Jayne as support. Discounted £6 tickets or two for £10 can be purchased by directly e-mailing damey74@live.co.uk

Catfish (our Vid Of The Day) are now the fifth band to be officially announced as part our 2016 WRC BluesRockFest bill taking place at Leo's Red Lion, Gravesend, on Saturday 24th September. Alongside headliners The Stevie Nimmo Trio, 2015 WRC Award winners The Mentulls, Red Butler and Jack J Hutchinson - their debut album 'So Many Roads' went straight to No. 1 in the IBBA blues airplay charts on its release in January 2015. Within their first year, Catfish were nominated twice as finalists in the 2015 British Blues Awards - in the 'Emerging Artist' category plus Paul Long for keyboards! Remember that Earlybird Tickets are now on sale for a limited time here for £15 (instead of £20). WRC Members only pay £15 - so why not head off here to sign up for free. Don't forget to check back next Saturday for further announcements on the other exciting bands we have lined up!

Coming into Richard Dunning's Croydon Radio studio tonight here at 5pm, with guitar in hand, will be WRC Award Winner Robin Bibi ahead of his performance at The Tuesday Night Music Club, c/o Hooley Village Club, St Margaret's Road, Hooley Village, Coulsdon, Surrey, CR5 3RB. They'll be chatting about that, his upcoming album and all manner of things. With a history like Robin's the conversation and live songs will be entertaining to say the least. As well as that they've got the usual mix of new music, news and exclusives with special reference to The Tuesday Night Music Club's First Anniversary Festival this Saturday!

Today's Video Of The Day is our friends The Sultana Brothers - featuring the magnificent Dave Plowman. Formed in 1995 and with influences in R&B, Rock 'N' Roll, Blues and Rock - the band have continued to receive glowing reviews. Having spent the early years cutting their teeth and developing a sound of their own in the local pubs and clubs, The Sultana Brothers have now become one of the most acclaimed bands in the Midlands. The solid combination of Phil (drums) and Pete (bass) added to Adam's Boogie piano and Dave's sensational guitar work - and an unbelievable mix of Rhythm & Blues explodes. In 2006 they were joined by Dave H 'The Hat' (lead vocals and Blues harp). His Blues-Jazz voice and great harp playing added a whole new dimension to the music, making an exciting five-piece band who enjoy the music they make as much as their audience do!

As well as Steve B. beavering away behind the BluesRockfest scenes last Saturday were the dynamic duo from the Rock On The Ridge Radio Show - Jules & Bob. In fact they actually sacrificed last week's show to be able to interview all the bands - hence their tweet yesterday "Also coming soon a full show report on the #BluesRockfestGravesend with interviews with the bands @WRINKLYCLUB ! So look out for that." So make sure you tune in here tonight from 8pm to see what gems they might have in store!

With just 48 hours to go in our countdown to BluesRockfest at The Red Lion, Gravesend, this Saturday 4th July, the penultimate band on stage at 8.05pm and sponsored by Playback Sounds are Albany Down (our Vid Of The Day). A contemporary UK Blues-Rock band, they came together with some classic Rock and Brit Blues-Rock influences, but with their 2011 debut album, ‘South of the City’, they found their own sound. Their latest album 'Not Over Yet' is a landmark album full of their strongest songs, lingering melodies and great playing. Albany Down are Paul Muir on vocals, guitarist Paul Turley, drummer Donna Peters and bassist Billy Dedman and they have recorded both their albums with producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, INME, Super Furry Animals). Go here for ticket information on all the bands that are playing at this year's BluesRockfest and remember if you are a WRC member just go here where you can get a £3 discount on your ticket!

Rest assured that this is not the latest design of our new WRC t-shirt - but hey this fella has a point! Anyway, our thanks to Suezan one our WRC Twitter followers for tweeting the pic - much appreciated. And as for the real deal - our new '2015 WRC On Tour' t-shirt with Mr. RockRpix's classic photo of Joe Bonamassa at The Hammersmith Apollo in March now adorns the back of the shirt with the classic black WRC emblem and 'Keep Music Live' proudly displayed on the front! Simply go to our merchandise page here where you can purchase one to wear at BluesRockfest (go to our gigs Track Of The Day) at a bargain £15!

"Imagine some power trio mixed into a Texas Blues foundation and overlaid with trippy psychedelia - that's the essence of Wolfe's music!" That's what 'Hittin' the Note Magazine' wrote about the latest band in our 'Introducing ....' feature! Yes our Track of The Day' is the Todd Wolfe Band with Roger Voss on drums, Justine Gardner on bass and ex-Sheryl Crow guitarist Todd on vocals. The trio are currently on a European tour - tonight it's Germany (Klein-Erzgebirge e.V. Richard-Wagner-Straße 2Oederan 09569 - to be precise) where their new album 'Long Road Back' is available at all shows on the tour.

As promised today's 'Track Of The Day' features an interview with BluesRockfest headliner, 2014 WRC Award winner and Bradford based Blues/Rock guitarist and singer Chantel McGregor! Rory Auskerry's Route 66 interview discusses sexism in the music business, creating demo recordings, musical influences and channeling life experiences into songs! Also on the show are birthday tracks for Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood and the late John Bonham as well as new tunes from Rob Berry, Jeff Beck and Sonny Landreth!

Talking of Mr. Dunning - the picture alongside was taken at last week's LIttle Devils' album launch and has been added to our Photo Gallery from the night. That's Richard at the back with Blues On the Marsh's very own Kev Beale far right with Devil's lead singer Yoka Qureshi in front of Richard. Not only that but if you go to the review here you will also have the pleasure of seeing Richard and Kev 'Dad Dancing' - we thought it was too cruel to make it our 'Vid Of The Day'!

Don't forget that you can also purchase tomorrow night at the Virgil & The Accelerators/Loose Moorings gig at The Red Lion, Gravesend - BluesRockfest tickets at a discounted £10! So in effect you can see 8 quality bands for just £20 - yes we are still going mad!!! And just to prove how great the bands are - our Track of The Day includes all those bands playing in our forthcoming WRC gigs. Enjoy!
