No that's not Wrinkly The Silver body surfing at BST Hyde Park on Friday - it's actually lead singer Ty Taylor of Vintage Trouble! Wow what a week - capped off with The Who, Paul Weller, Kaiser Chiefs, the brilliant Vintage Trouble (thanks for the tip-off Steve B.) and The Standard Lamps (our Track Of The Day and downloadable)! WTS's review will follow soon but in the meantime our BST Photo Gallery is now available here - a great reflection on another great day. And not trying to steal WTS's thunder - but a big shout out to all of you who we had the pleasure of meeting during the festival. Drop us a line if you're in one of the pics and if you're not - then send us a message anyway!

"A pre-release copy of the Rainbreakers latest four track EP 'Blood Not Brass' unexpectedly landed on my doormat several weeks ago. Always on the lookout for new music to play on the Rock On The Ridge radio show, it was only a matter of seconds before the headphones were on and the Rainbreakers hit my ears full on. Having been impressed by the music, I was really looking forward to seeing the band play live." Read the whole of Jules' great BluesRockfest Rainbreakers review here.

Talking of BluesRockfest - our Track Of The Day - Richard Dunning's latest Blues On The Radio podcast - includes no less than three BluesRockfest bands - namely the Chris Walker Band (pictured), The Troy Redfern Band (see their Vid below) and Little Devils! There's no live guest this week but the two hours are absolutely full of the best of the new releases, the IBBA (Independent Blues Broadcasters Association) picks of the month and a few select cuts from Poplar Jake and The Electric Delta Review ahead of their recent Tuesday Night Music Club gig!

We very much doubt that you will ever see them at The Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford, but tonight punters at The Eel Pie Club, The Cabbage Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ will get a chance to 'Get Stoned' on two hours of nostalgia as The Rollin' Stoned play the best of '64-69'! The Rollin' Stoned have been endorsed by Keith Richards’ mother as ‘outstanding and suitably fit stand-ins for the Stones’ and have also been described by The Times as "The nearest thing to the real article" and have been revered by both Stones fans for their authenticity and the real Rolling Stones who booked them for the band's birthday! Doors open at 8.30pm and the music starts at 9pm. WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted £11 admission.

Today's Video Of The Day is another Virgil & The Accelerators vid taken by Steve Borkowski at their Red Lion, Gravesend gig at the beginning of the month.

For ticket information on all the bands that are playing simply go here and remember if you are a WRC member just go here where you can not only get a £3 discount off your ticket but you can find all the other current members offers including Ramblin' Man!

Just over five years ago we started a website to let all our friends know what gigs we were going to and save us sending tons of emails and texts!

If you listened to yesterday's 'Track Of The Day' (and if not - why not?) - then you would have heard Rory Auskerry mention that on his Route 66 show next Sunday at 6pm he will be interviewing BluesRockfest headliner Chantel McGregor! Watch this space for more details on Sunday and also when we make Rory's podcast available as our Track Of The Day!

They say that "nothing in life comes free" but American Bluesman Jared James Nichols will indeed be playing a free show at The Islington, 1 Tolpuddle Street, London N1 0XT on Tuesday 21st April. Our 'Video Of The Day' and the latest artist to be highlighted in our 'Introducing ...' feature - re-emphasises the fact that you can't teach the Blues. Either you've got it, or you don't and Jared has definitely got it! The Wisconsin-born, Los Angeles-based singer, writer and guitarist's new LP 'Old Glory & The Wild Revival' channels Blues grit and gusto through bombastic arena-size rock 'n' roll. It's raw, raucous and righteously real!

As promised - today's 'Track Of The Day' is the 'Rock On The Ridge' podcast originally transmitted on Ridge Radio on Saturday night.

Rock on!

It's always good to get our weekly update from our friends Walkway who are definitely on the up and up and are again supporting Status Quo this year! Accordingly our 'Track Of The Day' is taken from the title track of their second album released in September 2014. With 2014 proving to be a mega year for the band, 2015 is already looking to be Walkway’s biggest year to date, with big show supports already confirmed, large festival appearances in the pipeline plus working with some very big and influential industry people.
