Doors open at 8.30pm at the venue at The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ, with the band due on stage between 9pm and 11pm. To become a WRC member simply go here. Recently spotlighted in our 'Introducing ...' feature, The Blue Bishops work at the rocky end of the R&B and Blues spectrum. Yet, at the same time they are acknowledged for the sensitivity and dynamics of performances that can go from a whisper to a roar in just a few moments. A career spanning over 15 years has seen them perform in every kind of venue and situation from Holland and Hungary to Belgium and The Bahamas. Their last studio CD ‘Deep’ was awarded 9/10 by Blues Matters, who nominated it among the top ten albums of the year and they are currently writing their new album. Led by guitarist/slide player Simon Burrett, he is joined by lead vocalist/harmonica/guitar player Geoff Grange (Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, Sons of Heroes, Phil Collins, Terence Trent Darby), Jim Rodford on bass (currently with The Zombies and 17 year member of The Kinks) and Justin Hildreth (Joan Armatrading, Lene Lovich) on drums.

- Bonamassa Retires - Buddy That Is! 31 Jan 2015
Please excuse the WRC for some self indulgence today, because around five years ago, certain WRC members started a greyhound racing syndicate and we politely asked JB connections whether it was OK to use his name - hence the name of our very first dog Bonamassa Buddy! Now after a very succesful racing career - Joe (which is his kennel name) has now put his paws up and retired - now living with Wrinkly (Colin) no less! Anyway our 'Video Of The Day' is therefore 'Joe's Story' - set of course to the classic Joe Bonamassa tracks of India and Mountain Time. Go Joe!
