It's been a while in the making - but even though we accept the production might not be of the same standards as Route 66, Blues On The Radio/Marsh and Rock On The Ridge - we are chuffed to bits to have so much quality music not only on our April WRC Gigs Wrinklycast but also for our forthcoming WRC gigs. We of course cover BluesRockfest but there's also both The Mentulls and Virgil & The Accelerators Red Lion, Gravesend gigs previewed as well - plus not forgetting The Replicants! Enjoy nearly 90 minutes of great music - which we are sure will wet your appetite in order that booking your WRC gig tickets is a no-brainer!

Streamed for 75 minutes on the NMB Live platform from Glen's Home Studio in Missisauga, Ontario, Canada - it is a 'Pay Per View' event but must be worth the 3 bucks to have a look! More advance information here but in the meantime have a look at Glen in action on our 'Video Of The Day'!

Despite suffering from a chest infection, Joe Bonamassa stormed into the Hammersmith Apollo for the second of his four London gigs on Thursday night - so it was definitely a case of 'Live From Somewhere In Particular'. To be fair the jury has been out on Joe recently given the relentless JB juggernaut of new releases going hand in hand perhaps with the prohibitive cost to some of his Apollo tickets. Has Joe - and no pun intended - come to a 'Crossroads?'. We can always hark back to 2008 when we all walked out of the Shepherds Bush Empire with the biggest smiles on our faces for many a year after seeing Bonamassa for the first time - but hey things have to move on. Anyway, apologies that we told you we were meeting in The Trout. Yes it’s now called The Yardbird but we did manage to bump into ‘Dave’ and JB (not that JB) – thanks for the excellent pics John.

Tickets to see the former 2012 WRC Award winner are still available on the door for £10 and JV and his band will be supported by The Unknown.
