Paul Cox visited Richard Dunning's Blues On The Radio studio ahead of his showcase performance at The Tuesday Night Music Club this week. Today's Track Of The Day sees the guys discuss Paul's 'Best of...' album, play some his favourite tracks and chat about what the present and future holds for the man that Paul Jones has said has one of the best voices in Europe. Of course Rich also found time for the IBBA picks of the month for April, some great new releases and a few classics including Salvation Jayne, The Troy Redfern Band (pictured) and Kaz Hawkins!

This week the House of Commons Public Bill Committee will consider an amendment to the Housing and Planning Bill 2015-16 proposed by Michael Dugher MP. That amendment is a measure which would mean that developers would be responsible for protecting music venues against future complaints when they build residences nearby. Essentially, it is Agent of Change. It's just one year ago that the Music Venue Trust launched Frank Turner's campaign to adopt the Agent of Change principle into UK law. Today, we could actually change the law so that it starts to happen - but we need to keep the pressure on! To help support live venues across the UK go to this link here. Thank you.

OK the weather was pretty crap on Thursday night but 'The Storm Inside' actually took place at The Tamesis Dock, Albert Embankment, as 2014 WRC Award winners Little Devils officially launched their new critically acclaimed album. See our Video Of The Day which was taken live last night on the Dutch Barge and watch out for more pics and a review of the gig tomorrow. And if you were then please drop us a line through the contact box below. Proost!

Yes - we have already been warned - following the tweet we received from ROTR HQ yesterday! Whatever you do - don't forget to tune in here tonight between 8-10pm (UK Time) for 'Rock On The Ridge' - your weekly dose of great Rock and Blues music! The menu tonight includes Alter Bridge, The Muggs, Avenged Sevenfold, Blacktop Deluxe, Soundgarden, Black Stone Cherry and possibly tracks from The Voodoo Sheiks new CD (pictured)! Well worth a listen!

If you remember the new wave of British Heavy Metal music in the late 70's and early 80's - then you will remember 'Trespass'! In fact one of their stand-out tracks 'One Of These Days' (our 'Video Of The Day') was featured on the NWOBHM 25th Anniversary Collection alongside Samson, Diamond Head and Saxon! Frequent visitors to the Red Lion, Gravesend - the good news is that Trespass are back - playing again - with a brilliant new album to boot available here.

Things improved after that false start when we chatted to some Cornish JB fans in the bar before we ventured up to our seats in the circle. Not only were we in the Gods but we were greeted by rows of empty seats which didn’t exactly help the atmosphere despite Joe’s manufactured stage entrance. All this was forgotten as he launched straight into one of the stand-out tracks from Different Shades Of Blue - ‘Oh Beautiful’ – traditional Bonamassa as was the classic follow-up ‘Never Give All Your Heart’ from the same album. It was all change then as Joe jumped into Howlin’ Wolf’s Hidden Charms and here lies the rub. Reinventing yourself is part and parcel of the industry but perhaps this understandably sits very uncomfortably with your longstanding JB fan - particularly the risk of diluting himself with his stand out eight piece band (the writing already being on the wall at last year’s Calling Festival). It was more of the same with the horn section and keys on ‘Living On The Moon’ and ‘Trouble Town’. However, Otis Rush’s ‘Double Trouble’ was pivotal for me on the night - Reese Wynan’s keys the perfect foil for Bonamassa’s amazing guitar solo and I’m starting to see the light. Wow!

On this week's Black On Blues Track Of The Day, host Kevin Black plays some of his favourite new releases including Albert Bashor-Junkin, Walklate and Fuschi, Toronzo Cannon, Al Lerman, Josh Smith, Kyle T Hurley and Kenny Blues Boss Wayne!

The Marshman promised wimmin' on this week's Blues On The Marsh Track Of The Day and he even threw in a few geezers as well for good measure! Consequently Kev's playlist included tracks from Mojo Preachers, Jeremiah Marques, Thornetta Davis, Sister Suzie, Kristen Berglund, Delta Deep, Mamie Smith, Mona Johansson, Tuba Skinny, Jethro Tull, Kaz Hawkins Band, Flawless Carbon, Tanya Piche Blues Band, Karena K, Mississippi MacDonald and The Cottonmouth Kings, Robin Bibi, Regina Bonelli, Elles Bailey, Florence Joelle, La Bedoune, Miranda Louise, Big River (pictured), Jan Preston and Carolyn Wonderland!

Last Sunday's Route 66 Radio Show featured music from Damon Johnson and Blues Engine plus tracks from David Lee Roth, Chris Rea, Queen, 68-75 and Thunder (pictured). In light of the tumultuous week in UK politics, today's Track Of The Day also gives some tips on how to 'unite a party'. There's also some Andy Murray ‪#‎Wimbledon‬ banter too! Don't forget to join host Rory Auskerry again tonight here at 6pm.

On this week's Route 66 Track Of The Day, host Rory Auskerry spins a new track from Jeff Beck (pictured with ZZ Top) and Rock Alliance plus live music from Michael Schenker's Temple Of Rock, John Mayer and the BluesBones.

The WRC were delighted to hear from Pieces of Mind guitarist Vic Johnson after they were featured on BBC Four’s 'The UK’s Best Part-Time Band' last Friday night. We first introduced you to the guys in February 2015 when the band celebrated their 50th anniversary with a great new album of original stuff entitled 'Born At The Bosco' (pictured). Vic kindly messaged us "Hi thanks for the posting on your website and your comments. The show was awesome, the sound lighting, editing, everything! Rhod Gilbert was on The Graham Norton show on BBC1 and used a clip of us playing and the interviews we did to promote the show!! We had some great comments too!! Two national channels in one night!!! Got to be made up with that!!! Thanks Wrinklies You Rock!"

And on the subject of BluesRockfest - Ian and Malcolm of The Blues Club podcast - who have kindly sponsored Little Devils set - will both be in attendance on Saturday! Anyway, they have again done the WRC proud with their latest broadcast which is today's Track Of The Day and includes both 2014 WRC Award winners Little Devils and Chantel McGregor, the Troy Redfern Band, The Rainbreakers plus also for Aj's benefit Gary Moore and 'Cold Day In Hell'. Hopefully the weather won't be as bad as that on Saturday!
