Col (aka Wrinkly) certainly stepped up to the plate following our appeal for video footage of Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Simple Man' from their Hammersmith Apollo gig last Thursday. Hence Col (pictured far right at the gig) has the honour of being our 'Video Of The Day' and meanwhile Dave (aka Wrinkly The Silver pictured second left) is currently burning the midnight oil writing his informed review which from previous experience will be well worth waiting for! Remember to go to our photo gallery and video vault for more photos and vids of the gig.

The fourth Bowness Bay Blues Weekend starts today with WRC Award winner Robin Bibi (pictured) on at the Hydro Hotel between 8.30pm and 9.45pm. Saturday headliner Laurence Jones was not only nominated in our 2014 WRC Awards, but actually won ‘Young Artist of the Year’ in the British Blues Awards and followed that up by representing the UK in the European Blues Challenge in Brussels recently. Sunday headliners David Migden and the Twisted Roots also represented the UK at the 2014 European Blues Challenge in Riga. Tickets are still on sale here from The Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal. Anyway our 'Track Of The Day' is Robin performing at Bluesfest 2014 - part of a double DVD/CD that is still available from our merchandise page here!

Despite suffering with a chest infection, Joe Bonamassa stormed into the Hammersmith Apollo for the second of his four London gigs last 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, find out what our take was with a review and more pics out shortly. In the meantime - despite being taken up in the Gods - Joe naturally is our 'Video Of The Day'!

Joanne Shaw Taylor launched her sixth album 'Wild' with an instore performance at London's HMV 363 in Oxford Street - and we were there to witness it. JST also signed CD's and posed for photos with her fans after a brilliant thirty minute set. Joanne's new single 'Dyin' To Know' is today's Vid of The Day and her band begin their 2016/2017 tour at Holmfirth's Picturedome this coming Friday!

Not only have we added some new pics to our Ramblin' Man Photo Galleries for Saturday here and Sunday here - but Mr. RockRpix himself John Bull is currently putting together his own personal gallery here which currently features The Cadillac Three, Thunder, Airbourne (pictured), Thin Lizzy, Inglorious, The Dead Daisies, Purson and Europe. Watch out for more bands to be added!

South London riff-monsters Stoneghost will be heading out as main support on a nine date UK tour with British Metal beasts Raging Speedhorn which begins in Colchester on Friday 15th July and ends at London's Underworld on Saturday 23rd July. Their latest album 'New Age of Old Ways' was recorded with Russ Russell who has previously worked with Napalm Death, Evile, Dimmu Borgir, Sikth and New Model Army - who helped harness the raw live energy and translate it to record.

"It was almost irrelevant what material JB chose to play, because the jaws of the punters, most of whom had seen him many times, continued to drop in awe. For the record the set opened with Beck's 'Bolero/Rice Pudding' followed by Clapton’s 'Mainline Florida' and Zeps 'Boogie with Stu' – all three greats covered in the first three songs – nice!! That effectively set the tone as it should – the set did what it said on the tin and the crowd loved it. Highlights for me were 'Spanish Boots' – 'SWALBR' (where JB introduced us to a little beauty of a guitar) – 'Tea for One' which JB covered on his 'You and Me' album and is one I wish he would play on his “normal” tours (any chance JB?) – 'Pretending' and 'Blues of Desperation'. Of course the night wouldn’t be complete without a tribute to the Beatles and 'Taxman' duly achieved that." Read Wrinkly's take here on Joe Bonamassa's Liverpool Cavern Club gig last week (pictured) and yes - we're off to see him again tonight at Greenwich Music Time! Happy days!

Bob & Jules signed off on Saturday night with another awesome Rock On The Ridge show before a well earned vacation! Todays Track Of The Day features a number of their favourite live bands including Ulysses, King King, Troy Redfern, Blacktop Deluxe, Stevie Nimmo, Blues Pills (pictured), The Rainbreakers, Salvation Jayne, John Verity, Voodoo Sheiks, Larry Miller, Laurence Jones and The Muggs, plus new music from Southbound, Robin Bibi, GT's Boos Band and Bedwyr Morgan.

The pace never slackens at Wrinkly Towers as we took in our second major concert in two days following AC/DC at London's Olympic Park on Saturday. Step forward The Boss himself with the usual 3 hour plus set at a very hot Wembley Stadium last night. Watch out shortly for Wrinkly's review plus more pics but in the meantime check out today's Vid Of The Day.

.... We salute you! Yes all roads lead to London's Olympic Park this evening as AC/DC plus a certain Axl Rose hit the stage at 8.15pm with support from Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown at 7pm. Although we do hope that Axl's punctuality has improved since that infamous debacle at London's O2 Arena with Guns N' Roses four years ago. Anyway, the last time we saw AC/DC was at Wembley in 2009 (pictured) where we witnessed the mosh pits of all mosh pits and at a time when this website was just a twinkling in Wrinkly's eye! Mosh pits and mobile phone batteries permitting - watch for out for a vid, pics and a review shortly.

"However, the undercard highlight of the day was purely fortuitous - and we had the rain to thank for that. It was now pissing down so we headed back to the cover of The Dogtooth - which coincided with the sound check of The Shrine from Venice Beach, California. Billed as Psychedelic Violence Rock and Rollers - if lead singer and guitarist Josh Landau's sound check anecdotes were as good as their set then we were in for a treat. With Courtland Murphy on bass and Jeff Murray on Drums, the guys smashed it with a nod to Sabbath, Lizzy and The Who from their latest album - the appropriately named 'Rare Breed' - the set ending with Landau being lifted on his back into the crowd still playing an amazing guitar solo. Mental - but we loved it. Do not miss them if you get a chance." Read the rest of AJ's 'Drownload' review here, plus see our photo gallery here and our Vid Of The Day.

Today we actually spotlight a new WRC member in our 'Introducing ....' feature - Blues vocal guitarist Adam Grogdope. Yes Adam is our 'Track Of The Day' with his imaginatively entitled CD 'A Bluesman Plays AC/DC and Other Awesome Stuff' .... a unique take on some Rock and Blues classics. No doubt Adam will go down a storm when he plays the intimate BB's Blues Club at the Colour House Theatre, Merton Abbey Mills SW19 2RD on Sunday 22nd March at 8pm. It's also a fundraiser and you can buy tickets in advance here for £7 or if there are any left on the night, which we doubt, they will be £9.
