Next Tuesday 25th August Canadian roots-rockers The Bros. Landreth play their European debut show at the intimate Borderline in London. This special show follows the release of their 11-song debut 'Let It Lie' - winner of this years Junos Roots & Traditional Album award. The band's sound is anchored by the bluesy wail of electric guitars, the swell of B3 organ, and the blood harmonies of brothers Joey and David Landreth that has since drawn comparisons to The Band, The Allman Brothers and Jackson Browne. They will be announcing further UK shows for October shortly, but in the meantime enjoy our 'Runaway Train' Vid Of The Day' taken from the very same album.

The Wildhearts are playing the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London, this Friday playing the classic 'P.H.U.Q.' album in its entirety! 'Mr. Rockrpix' John Bull will be snapping away on the night on behalf of the WRC but we have a spare ticket if anyone wants to write a brief review to complement John's pics. ‘P.H.U.Q.’ was released in May 1995 and crashed into the UK Top Ten Album Chart at number 6. The album spawned two Top 40 hit singles, 'I Wanna Go Where The People Go' and' Just In Lust', which reached numbers 16 and 28 respectively! Support will be from the recently reformed Baby Chaos plus Ginger’s brilliant new band and side-project Hey!Hello - so if you are a budding reviewer and want to go along for FREE then simply contact us through the message box below!

With just four days to go till the Tuesday Night Music Club's first anniversary party - it was business as usual at the TNMC last night with a performance from WRC Award winner Robin Bibi. In fact Robin popped into Richard Dunning's Croydon Radio studio last night before the gig to chat about Robin's upcoming album and all manner of things which will be tomorrow's Track Of The Day. In the meantime listen to today's TOTD recorded when Robin played Bluesfest in 2014! Anyway, make sure you are at the TNMC, c/o Hooley Village Club, St Margaret's Road, Hooley Village, Coulsdon, Surrey, CR5 3RB on Saturday from midday for twelve hours of non-stop live music, a charity raffle, the launch of the first Club CD, food and a bar with Club prices!

Our Ramblin' Man Fair photo gallery has been updated re: Saturday and now includes all of John Bull's great Rockrpix photos taken over all three stages. Watch out tomorrow for Sunday's update plus news of our RMF review. In the meantime our Vid Of The Day is the excellent Blues Pills who were first up on the Classic Rock Stage on Sunday!

"Anyway, Townshend’s performance of ‘I’m One’ (see Vid Of The Day) was brilliant but Daltrey’s vocals on ‘Love, Reign, O’er Me’ brought a tear to my eye for all the right reasons. The inclusion of the less popular ‘Eminence Front’, ‘So Sad About Us’ and ‘A Quick One’ was a surprise, however this is the perfect launch pad for a bit of ‘Tommy’ and we’re on that ‘Amazing Journey’ of ‘Pinball Wizard’ (where Daltrey has another bit of a mare), ‘Sparks’ and the moving ‘See Me Feel Me’. Awesome. The evening is then complete with both ‘Baba O’Riley’ and ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ which brings back memories of the very first time I saw The Who along with cutting edge lasers firing across The Valley." That was our WRC take on The Who at The O2 Arena, London in March - and we're off to see them again in a week at BST in Hyde Park! Give us a shout if you're going as well!

What a great evening of Classic Rock mixed with a tinge of humour from Purple Zeppelin at the Orchard Theatre, Dartford, on Wednesday night. Two giants of Classic Rock for the price of one! With a review and a vid to come - please go here to see our photo gallery of the gig!.

The last time the WRC saw ZZ Top was at the High Voltage Festival (see pic and Vid Of the Day) in Victoria Park, London on Saturday 24th July 2010 when they headlined the Classic Rock Stage. The undercard that day included The Answer, Foreigner and a certain Gary Moore - the very last time we saw him before his untimely death in February 2011. Anyway all roads lead to Wembley Arena tonight where yet again they will have strong support from Thunder who coincidentally played the Classic Rock Stage at HV the year after. And if you're going tonight then we hope to see you in The Blue Check Bar in Empire Way before the gig!

Meanwhile, The Replicants return to The Jolly Farmers in Purley and admission is FREE!
