The WRC would like to add to the many tributes paid to The Wildabouts and former Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver lead singer Scott Weiland who died on Thursday night aged 48. Consequently our Vid Of The Day is the classic 'Slither' - and although we never actually got to see Velvet Revolver live - we did see Slash perform this with Myles Kennedy at High Voltage in 2011. RIP Scott.

On a happier note - all of us at Wrinkly Towers were delighted to hear that now after more than three months, Larry Miller is now out of hospital and progressing. He is some way from coming back to the stage but he aims to make a return by Summer 2016. Larry has now begun to pick up the guitar and although he is finding it a little difficult coordinating his right hand with the left, this will improve in time. A fundraising gig at The Stables, Milton Keynes, on Friday 15th January 2016 has been arranged here featuring Larry's band plus special guests which include ex-Whitesnake guitarist Bernie Marsden, Stray's Del Bromham and Oli Brown. Anyway, today's Wrinklycast Track Of The Day takes us back to BluesFest 2013 where Larry memorably headlined.

Since its inception - one of the most loyal supporters of both the WRC and indeed BluesFest has been Darren Weale. Not only has Darren contributed many excellent articles to our site over the years but he has also been a sponsor and a roving reporter (have a listen to our official 2013 WRC Wrinklycast here). Anyway Darren's latest project is the equally impressive and ambitous British Blues Exhibition (Breaking Blues Again) here. And not only is BluesRockfest mentioned in the British Blues Exhibition History section (we're not worthy) - but Darren has also done us proud with his latest Blog Of The Blues here which includes an in depth preview of BluesRockfest 2015.

ust hours before the gig - the eager anticipation of a night to remember was already palpable in The Blue Check Bar in Empire Way, Wembley - a plethora of Thunder and ZZ Top t-shirts proudly on display - reinforcing that feel good factor. The WRC not to be outdone - were out in force as well - the ranks bolstered by Route 66's Rory Auskerry and his brother Hamish (see our picture gallery here). To say we were not disappointed with the gig would be an understatement - in fact it exceeded our expectations - the consummate professionalism of Thunder with Danny Bowes at the helm who seem to get better every time we see them - and if ZZ Top are not the consummate of cool personified - then we would like to know who is. We witnessed a blistering set from the Houston Rockers that not only ended with a (hi ho) silver lining but also literally icing on the cake as Jeff Beck guested on his 71st birthday (see Video Of The Day)! Read the rest of AJ’s review tomorrow plus a new Thunder vid!
