Don't forget tonight's Route 66 show here on Pure 107.8FM starts at 6pm. Given we're off to see The Who at The O2 Arena, London, on Monday night, we thought we'd be a bit cheeky and tweet Rory to play some 'Who' on his show tonight. Look's like we might be lucky - anyway a clue as to what he might play is our 'Video Of The Day'!

Our 'Track Of The Day' is the latest 'Rock On the Ridge' show, originally broadcast on Saturday night between 8 and 10pm.

Given that our Video Of The Day is Laurence Jones (filmed at the 100 Club last year) - Sky Arts are searching the UK and Ireland for extraordinary guitar players who are willing to jam, strum and pluck their way to victory for the chance to perform on the main stage of major UK music festival, Latitude. Whether their jam is rock, classical, jazz or acoustic, competing guitarists will be tested on their ability to play in a style of their choice and demonstrate outstanding skill and ability, and will perform at famous venues associated with their chosen genre. Throughout the process, they'll meet and be mentored by some of the biggest guitar stars in the world. The semi-finalists will hone their act in a recording studio, where they will work with a global guitar legend to perfect their sound. To apply for 'Guitar Star' please go here.

With just four days to go in our Ramblin' Man countdown we turn to the Blues Magazine Stage for Danny Bryant (our Vid Of The Day) who is on stage on Sunday at 5.15pm. Danny (who is also celebrating his birthday on Sunday) is an English Blues guitarist and singer-songwriter who at the age of 15 began playing the guitar and became a professional guitar player at the age of 18.

Of course the WRC are always more than happy to associate with Bob & Jules at Rock On The Ridge - but now it's official as per their logo above: 'Rock Zone - In Association With The WRC'! Anyway to celebrate the coming together of two great proponents of "Keeping Music Live" - not only is our Track Of The Day the ROTR show from Saturday night featuring the best in Rock - such as Alter Bridge, Black Sabbath and Broken Witt Rebels - but the guys are also the new sponsors of our Video Vault page here!

"Despite Townshend's brief to in-demand orchestrator Rachel Fuller of "no extra notes" - Fuller (Townshend's other half by the way) was quoted as saying the orchestration was "easy" - testament no doubt to an emotional rollercoaster of a score fitting hand in glove with a classical orchestra. And as soon as conductor Robert Ziegler raised his baton in front of the The Royal Philarmonic Orchestra with 'I Am The Sea' the musical waves drew the audience - Mod or Classical - in as one like an enchanting mermaid. Alfie Boe's voice on 'The Real Me' - although obviously different from Daltrey's - is as powerful as Roger's in his heyday with a physique to match. TRPO's mesmerising performance of the moving title track 'Quadrophenia' contrasted with the adolescent angst of 'Cut My Hair' not only saw the introduction of the snarling Billy Idol but Boe also delivered the stand-out line "My Old Man Is Really Alright". See our Video Of The Week and read the rest of AJ's Classic Quadrophenia review here.
