The last time the WRC bumped into Procol Harum guitarist Geoff Whitehorn was when he popped down to support The Mentulls gig at Leo's Red Lion in Gravesend in October 2014 (pictured).

"GMT, in front of 5,000 people, was the penultimate of his five special concerts - an artist who no doubt epitomises the music business cliche of reinventing yourself given his last three offerings of 'Driving Towards The Daylight', 'Muddy Wolf At Red Rocks', 'Blues Of Desparation' and now his latest salute to British Blues! Not unsurprisingly, JB's setlist was pretty much the same as The Cavern - although he did throw in a penultimate Zep cover 'Black Winter/Django' and of course an encore of 'Sloe Gin' instead of The Beatles 'Taxman' for obvious reasons. Also, in addition to his salute to the British Holy Trinity - BC&P - Bonamassa duly covered some John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers - namely 'Double Crossing Time' and 'Little Girl' but for mine it was so refreshing to hear a couple of Zep classic's that could be considered nowadays as being off the beaten track - such as 'Boogie With Stu' and 'Tea For One/I Can't Quit You Baby'."

NEEDTOBREATHE (Vid Of The Day) are celebrating their highest charting album ever with the release of their sixth studio record 'Hard Love', out now through Atlantic Records. We first saw them supporting Springsteen at Hard Rock Calling in 2012 and the album has topped the iTunes Album Chart and has entered the Soundscan/Billboard ‘Top Current Albums’ chart at No.1. The Grammy-nominated rock band’s highly anticipated album also topped Billboard’s ‘Top Albums’, ‘Top Current Rock Albums’, ‘Current Alternative Albums’, ‘Current Digital Albums’, and ‘Overall Digital Albums’ charts, and entered the Billboard 200 at No.2. 'Hard Love' has surpassed the success of the South-Carolina quartet’s 'Rivers In The Wasteland' of 2014, which charted at No.3 in the Billboard Hot 200 and spawned the Grammy-nominated single ‘Multiplied’.

In October our old mucker Richard Dunning announced that his Tuesday Night Music Club was going weekly! Therefore from November 24th (see poster) the TNMC are adding another venue right in the centre of Coulsdon, five minutes walk from two rail stations and with loads of bus routes right outside. So one week they'll be at their present venue in Hooley Village and the next they'll be in Coulsdon, then back to Hooley and so on and so on. Got it? Good! Don't forget that this Tuesday's gig is Malaya Blue at the usual venue: the Hooley Village Club, St. Margaret's Road, Hooley Village, Coulsdon, Surrey, CR5 3RB.

The bad news is that the Youtube/Soundcloud gremlins continue in Canada but talking of North America the WRC were delighted to hear from fully paid-up member Rick Menitti (pictured) yesterday! Rick took in the Foo Fighters in Atlanta and passed on this review here. Rick added "Show was phenomenal, Jan (pictured alongside Rick) even gave it a good review despite standing for over 4 hours in the drizzle! Be sure to see them if they are at a city near you!"

Today's Video Of The Day is a recently released video from our friend Keith - one half of of the Strawkites! This is the first joint project between 'Half a Kite' and American singer songwriter Georgia Paris and it's about a new planet recently discovered by the Kepler Telescope that seems very similar to the earth! Apparently they will be working on many more tracks together in the future and 'Kepler 186f' is currently available to download for free here.

As well as the four UK Independent Blues Broadcasters Association's albums of the month (from John Primer & Friends, Jon Cleary, Dove and Boweevil and Martin Harley) tracks from the finalists in the UK Blues Challenge (Malaya Blue, Katie Bradley Band, Brothers Groove and Red Butler) Richard Dunning will be playing three tracks from the brand new Half Deaf Clatch album on his Blues On The Radio show here tonight at 5pm.

"It was one of those bright spring days when it seemed every other radio station was playing 'Mr. Blue Sky'. It certainly didn’t feel like 30 years since ELO last concert toured. But the fans at the O2 Arena on the first of a four night stay knew exactly how long it’d been. Some may even have been counting the years. And the anticipation of whether Jeff Lynne could still cut it, was palpable. In the lengthy queues and security checks, conversation naturally turned to how exactly the 68-year-old might manage the energy of those hits. The main man shuffled on around 9pm. He looked cheery, hairy and healthy – not unlike Chas from Chas & Dave, in fact." Read the first of our Jeff Lynne ELO O2 Arena London review's here and watch out for further pics this week.

The suave Hillbilly Moon Explosion release their new album ‘With Monsters and Gods’ on Friday 13th May. THME’s last single 'My Love For Evermore' (today's Track Of The Day) has become a phenomena with dozens of fans comparing tattoos on the band’s Facebook page with the songs inspiring at least 30 cover-versions and nearly seven million of views on Youtube! A half-English 4-piece hidden away in the unlikely habitat of Switzerland, they’ve honed their craft without distraction for many years. Searching for the right sound, they’ve previously recorded in San Diego, Camden and Tooting, but for this album they went back to the local Swiss studio where they made their early Rockabilly albums, allowing more time to get it spot on!
