OK - so the WRC accept there was another massive gig going on up the road at Wembley on Saturday!

We also throw in an AC/DC vid from the gig for good measure plus the show includes tracks from Jared James Nichols (pic courtesy of John Bull) and Blues Engine.

Saturday offers a plethora of quality gigs starting with our friends Nazareth who are playing Legends Of Rock at East End Park, Dunfermline alongside Big Country. Staying in Scotland, our old mucker Larry Miller (pictured) is not only playing the O2 ABC Glasgow tonight but is also playing Back Stage at The Green Hotel, Kinross tomorrow night (no doubt WRC member Keith Baxter will be ecstatic). Meanwhile at Camden Rocks, WRC favourites Eureka Machines (our Track Of The Day) are playing The Cuban at 6.30pm plus our friends Walkway are on at the Jazz Cafe at midday. Phew!

Still buzzing from last weeks album launch gig at The Borderline, London, the David Sinclair Four bring their London rock 'n' roll to the The Railway Tavern, 2 Station Road, Longfield DA3 7QD tonight. They will be playing a mix of classic covers and originals from their new album '4' between 9pm and 11pm. Admission is free and to get a feel of what DS4 are all about read their Borderline review here and have a look at last year's Bluesfest 'Vid Of The Day'. By the way the Bluesfest 2014 double DVD/CD is still available from our merchandise page here!

Just down the road from The Iron Horse, Sidcup - where our friends Walkway recently performed - at the junction of Westmount Road, Eltham - was the Welcome Inn, which burnt down in 2006 and is now a block of flats. This was also the place where a certain Status Quo first performed with Rick Parfitt in 1967. Consequently a Music Heritage Plaque from the Performing Rights Society was unveiled at the former venue in 2010. Both Francis Rossi and Parfitt attended the ceremony (pictured) with Rossi revealing that at that gig they supported the band which eventually became Deep Purple! Ironically both bands cross paths again when Walkway support Quo (our Vid Of The Day from Christmas 2011) at Burghley House tonight!

WRC contributor Darren Weale has written a great piece here in Blues Matters about forthcoming gigs including our very own WRC Promotions!

Today's 'Video Of The Day' is John Verity's 'Live at Boske' promo including clips from the new album featuring Bob Henrit on drums, Bob Skeat on Bass and Tom Wilson on keyboards - not forgetting JV on guitar as usual - sharing vocal duties with Bianca Kinane! The album is a collection of live-in-the studio recordings of familiar material plus two unreleased demos of songs new to their live set.

Talking of WRC gigs - tickets are still flying out of the door for our Wrinklystock IV Charity Gig at The Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford, on Saturday 21st November! Remember T.Rextasy are the only band that is accepted as the world’s only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan & T.Rex - and the only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan’s family, estate, original ex-members of T.Rex and Bolan’s catalogue management! It's going to be be a sell out just like last year so don't miss out and get your tickets here!

Today's 'Video Of The Day' is The Replicants recent performance of My Hero and Lithium at The Carlton Centre, Sidcup. In their quest for world domination the band have just announced another FREE gig at The Greyhound in Crawley on Saturday 23rd May!

Larry Miller and his band are playing tonight at The Diamond in Sutton in Ashfield, near Mansfield, supported by Ali Clinton, who was recently showcased on our 'Introducing' feature! Last week Larry was interviewed by Radio Caroline's Barry James before the bands Cambridge Junction gig. Consequently the interview is our 'Track Of The Day' with Larry pitching in just after the 90 minute mark - although the whole of Barry's show is a cracker as always!

The Legendary classic rock band Leaf Hound led by Rock God vocalist, Pete French, will be appearing tonight at The Eel Pie Club, The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ, with the band due on stage at 9.15pm. Doors open at 8.30pm and WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted £10 admission. Leaf Hound was a product of the South-West London rock scene of the late sixties, which spawned the likes of Free and other Blues-rock acts. French's reputation as a potent lead vocalist led him to stints as frontman to Atomic Rooster and Carmine Appice's US band, Cactus. The current line-up of Leaf Hound is Pete on vocals, Luke Rayner on guitar, Pete Herbert on bass and Jim Rowland on drums.

We suppose it should have been our Track Of The Day but Albany Down's awesome live performance of 'South Of The City' on Radio Veronica's Countdown Cafe at the end of August was actually filmed - hence today's Vid Of The Day. And don't forget that the guys are also appearing at our WRC Xmas Bash at The Horn Reborn in St Albans on Wednesday 2nd December. Supported by the excellent Southbound - you have two quality bands for just £7 in advance (including admin fees) here - £9 on the door and only £5 for WRC Members - just e-mail wrcpromotions@aol.com to reserve your members ticket.
