The last time we saw Europe was at the Arrock Classic Rock Festival in Biddinghuizen in Holland in June 2007 supporting Aerosmith and Scorpions. Often written off as a one hit wonder - these guys rock as testified by their latest album - the brilliant 'War Of Kings'. Do not miss them at Ramblin' Man as we continue with our countdown to RM with today's Vid Of The Day as we turn the clock back to 30th June 2007.

It is now just under a month until Ramblin' Man 2016! We understand that they've been putting the finishing touches to the site, getting wristbands, signs and other little bits and pieces printed and it's all getting a little exciting. Meanwhile, they've been confirming some new talent over on the Artist Bazaar, confirming some great treats for you to imbibe over the weekend along with unique instruments for you to try out and some killer bikes for you to enjoy. Indeed Saxon legend Biff Byford (pictured at Ramblin' Man last year) will be hosting a Q&A session at the Artist Bazaar on Saturday 23rd July!

The last time Dave Ferra played The Tuesday Night Music Club he was 'assisted' by some rather fine musicians including Dudley Ross doing his best Albert Collins (see our Vid Of The Day). Whatever happens tonight at 8.30pm at the Comrades Club, 194 Brighton Road, Coulsdon, Greater London, CR5 2NF - you know it's going to be fun when Dave and his Allstars are in town! Get on down there!

Today's Route 66 Track Of The Day features the excellent new album from Albany Down 'The Outer Reach' (pictured) which is out this Friday 10th June. Host Rory Auskerry also talks to lead singer Paul Muir about this third album release, their ongoing tour and plans for the future. Also on the show, a new track from Christopher Shayne, a Blues Rocker from young guitarist Quinn Sullivan plus Rory celebrates the birthdays this week of ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard, Steve Vai and Boz Scaggs.

The bad news was that we missed last Saturday night's Rock On The Ridge Download special because we were err .. at Download! The good news is that we can now catch up as today's Track Of The Day is that very same show featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Deftones, Rival Sons, Raveneye, Ingorious, Scorpion Child, Black Peaks, Nightwish, Grand Magus, Jane's Addiction, Monster Truck and more! Also watch out for our Download 2016 review coming shortly.

"Born Healer's 'Til The Dawn was bought on recommendation of a friend, so I started to listen with an open mind and oh boy what a cracker. It begins with 'Pressure Valve', a song which sets the scene for the album, from the opening drums the journey that you get carried away on by stupendous guitar work and accompanied with haunting vocals, that are reminiscent of an early Elkie Brooks, leaves you wanting for more." Read the rest of WRC member Stuart Broderick's Born Healer 'Til The Dawn' CD review here plus check out our Track Of The Day.

The WRC bumped into our (old) mates Dom O'Riley of Shooter fame and ex-Bad Company guitarist Dave 'Bucket' Colwell at the JOANovARC Borderline, London, launch party gig on Wednesday night. Congratulations to 'Bucket' who recently got married and you've guessed it - the happy couple booked the excellent JOANovARC for their wedding reception - praise indeed. Anyway watch out for news of an interview with Bucket over the coming weeks plus his Full House gig at The Half Moon on Thursday 4th August. In the meantime check out both our gig photo gallery including Lilith And The Knight and Fire Red Empress here plus we turn back time with our Vid Of The Day!

Just ten days to Joe Bonamassa at the Hammersmith Apollo and today we introduce you to another band that does a neat cover of Otis Rush's 'So Many Roads'! Yes our Video Of The Day is The Sultana Brothers - 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!

Yes folks - it's just 121 days to Independence Day and this year's WRC BluesRockfest with our headliner Chantel McGregor!

Our 'Video Of The Day' is the excellent Laura Holland Band performing at last year's Bluesfest. The first track "Forgive Me' was an exclusive taste of their new album 'Dare I Believe' which has actually been released today! You can preview and pre-order the CD here. Their next gig is at the Proud Camden Live on Sunday 8th March where they will be playing the whole of the new album - on stage from 6pm - and it's free entry as well! For ticket information on all the bands that are playing at this year's BluesRockfest simply go here or to purchase Laura's performance at last year's Bluesfest go here.

Talking of band sponsorship - Lemonrock kindly sponsored John Verity at Bluesfest last year - but at the last minute the band had to pull out due to illness. Anyway Bluesfest stars from 2013 Nicky Moore and Danny Kyle stepped in and as they say the rest is history at they went down a storm as the WRC expected. Therefore our 'Track Of The Day' is Moore & Kyle of which the DVD/CD is still available from our merchandise page here!

Last Thursday night saw another excellent WRC members gig at The Onyx Bar, Covent Garden, featuring acoustic duo Amor & Fisk. Two outstanding sets were well received by all those present and courtesy of Rockrpix's John Bull we have a photo gallery here which of course captures the intimacy of another cracking evening.
