Julian Thornington has been in touch to thank all WRC members who voted for the Celebrations Theatrical Group in the 2014 Lloyds Bank Community Fund bid. As a result, the unfunded group for adults with learning disabilities received a cheque for a whopping £2,000 at a presentation on Saturday of which the WRC attended!

They were our stage sponsors last year and they are again our stage sponsors this year! Yes a big WRC thank you to Strongbow for supporting BluesRockfest and no doubt both our bands and our other treasured sponsors will be enjoying a nice glass of Extra Cold cider courtesy of our stage sponsors in our 'Blues Room'. You deserve it!

So it's Friday evening - the sun is shining and four intrepid WRC Members are ready for a night of memories at Hampton Pool singing along to the ELO Experience and T.Rextasy. The day had been planned like a military operation - a 'healthy' fish and chip lunch - rail tickets bought in advance to ensure maximum drinking time in The Wellington before catching the 6.13pm train from Waterloo to Hampton - arriving at 6.45pm giving ample time to settle in and enjoy the barbecue before the ELO Experience took to the stage at 7.45pm - what could possibly go wrong? National Rail that is what can go wrong! Five minutes out of Waterloo and the train shudders to a halt - after several minutes it is announced that the points ahead have jammed presumably due to the hot weather and what follows would be comical if it wasn't ruining our evening! Seemingly unable to deal with the situation we are given a number of contradictory messages before the train driver walks past us and takes us back to Battersea and then eventually forward to Clapham Junction informing us that the train would be going to Fulwell. We decide to carry on and get a cab - however at Clapham Junction we are told we need to get off and go to another platform - we get off and a platform assistant announces we need to get back on but then announces a different itinery for the train followed by "can the guard tell me where this train is going?" That was enough! A hasty retreat back to Victoria for a few pints and a burger - nearest we got to a barbecue! Anyway - have a look at today's Vid Of The Day to see what we missed - sob - roll on Wrinklystock IV!

Similar to Mr.Beale - the WRC were out again for a second night in a row at The Mentulls/Rainbreakers gig at The Red Lion, Gravesend on Friday.

Watch out for a review, pics and possibly a vid tomorrow!

How many of you are currently following 'Vinyl' on Sky Atlantic - based on a fictitious American record label in the early 70's. If anything, it's compulsive viewing - particularly its recreation of small live gigs before bands became famous and moved on up to the stadium era. Recent episodes have included Focus and David Bowie - so have a listen to today's Track Of The Day -a Trey Songz 'Life On Mars' tribute.

WRC Towers could not resist the opportunity of posing a question to Major Tim Peake as he floated around in his tin can during Sky News live question & answer session yesterday afternoon. Our tweet to #AskTim read: "Hey Tim! Other than obviously Space Oddity - what's your favourite track that you are rockin out 2 in space?" Not surprisingly Tim didn't play rock n' roll as most of the questions posed were scientific and from children. Worth a try though!
