A bit of a step into the unknown but at 6pm tonight former Megadeth guitarist Glen Drover will be holding his weekly webcast here teaching licks from his songs, discuss gear, music, the business and more! Streamed for 75 minutes on the NMB Live platform from Glen's Home Studio in Missisauga, Ontario, Canada - it is a 'Pay Per View' event but must be worth the 3 bucks to have a look! More advance information here but in the meantime have a look at Glen in action on our 'Video Of The Day'!

Over 40 members of the UK Independent Blues Broadcasters Association will feature tracks from four albums as picks of the month during their shows in May. The albums are Poplar Jake & The Electric Delta Review - 'See What You Done', King King (pictured) Featuring Alan Nimmo - 'Reaching For The Light', The Pete Harris R’nB All Stars - 'Live At The Talking Heads' (our 'Track Of The Day') and Michelle D’Amour & The Love Dealers - 'Ante Up'. Well done to all concerned!

"The perfect foil for one another, Laurence all youthful effervescence and ebullience and Alan Nimmo, the seasoned campaigner and master of his craft." Our thanks to Nigel Foster for another of his atmospheric review's - this time KIng King and Laurence Jones's storming Borderline gig last Thursday. Read Nigel's review here and go here for John Bull's brill pics of Laurence's set!

Despite suffering from a chest infection, Joe Bonamassa stormed into the Hammersmith Apollo for the second of his four London gigs on Thursday night - so it was definitely a case of 'Live From Somewhere In Particular'. To be fair the jury has been out on Joe recently given the relentless JB juggernaut of new releases going hand in hand perhaps with the prohibitive cost to some of his Apollo tickets. Has Joe - and no pun intended - come to a 'Crossroads?'. We can always hark back to 2008 when we all walked out of the Shepherds Bush Empire with the biggest smiles on our faces for many a year after seeing Bonamassa for the first time - but hey things have to move on. Anyway, apologies that we told you we were meeting in The Trout. Yes it’s now called The Yardbird but we did manage to bump into ‘Dave’ and JB (not that JB) – thanks for the excellent pics John.

Nice to catch up yesterday with guitarist Mark Dawson of 2012 WRC Best Tribute Award Winners Purple Zeppelin.
