Both our 'Track Of The Day' and our 'Introducing .....' feature are dedicated today to Steelyard - a band formed after the success of the Steelyard Blues Duo when they decided to expand and include a rhythm section to give them greater variety and add other dimensions to their sound. With Sara Cotton on vocals and guitar, they are influenced by Joplin, Mayall, Clapton, Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Allman Brothers and Gallagher. Steelyard has been extremely successful and the band has gigged at many European Blues Festivals particulary in the UK, Holland and Germany. They've also supported many famous Blues and Rock artists such as The Yardbirds, Spencer Davis Group, Fernando Nohrona, Connie Lush, Kosmic Blue, Sherman Roberton, Johnny Sansome and Mike Sanchez.

Not just content with supporting Status Quo - our old mates Walkway were interviewed by another (not so Wrinkly) Rocker Sue Marchant on BBC Radio last Sunday. We've known Sue for a few year's now so her show is always worth listening to - but just in case you want to get to the Walkway interview on today's 'Track Of The Day' - the guys appear on or around the 70 minute mark!

Listen to the latest quality 'Rock On The Ridge' show - originally broadcast on Saturday night - which is today's 'Track Of The Day'! On Bob and Jules' show are Sugarman Sam, Gravity Mob Heroes, Free, Shinedown and many many more. Enjoy!

WRC Award winners Stark have won a competition to open for Jo Harman next week in Worthing on Thursday 5th March. Have a listen to Jo's amazing voice on our 'Video Of The Day' - testament to why she is one of the headliners at this year's London BluesFest at the O2 in November! Understandably, Stark are not only well-pleased to be opening for Jo but they will also be releasing their exciting new single 'Tunnel Vision' here, as a free download next Monday 2nd March.

It's becoming more and more apparent to us at Wrinkly Towers that our members are certainly a talented lot. Take for example North Wales based UK songwriter/guitarist Phillip Foxley who is todays 'Introducing ...' feature and is also our 'Track Of The Day'. Phil has a long background of musical experience spanning back to the 1970’s where he got his start not only gaining experience live on stage but as an accomplished studio session player as well. With an influence ranging in diversity from David Bowie to Black Sabbath to Mountain along with a number of the Blues greats, he has formed his own signature sound of Blues/Rock music. He has recently released a home studio demo EP sampler entitled 'One Song Is All You Need..' and his intention is to release a professionally recorded debut album early this year.

Our first official WRC outing of 2015 took in Aynsley Lister ('Video Of The Day') plus a the very impressive undercard of WRC Award winners Little Devils and Stark last night. Watch out shortly for a review, some more pics and some more vids. Suffice to say that the 100 Club punters were not disappointed :-)

"I wasn't sure to expect when AJ kindly bribed me with a free ticket to this gig at the Orchard. I am not a massive fan of tribute bands although we have had some very good ones at the last few Wrinklystock’s I must admit.. The Beatlez, Bon Giovi and of course the brilliant Bohemians from last year's gig spring to mind.. Then of course I suddenly remembered that Purple Zeppelin had run away with the WRC tribute band award in 2012. So I thought they would be pretty good..And I wasn't wrong in the slightest.."
