A bit like London buses - you get one new BluesRockfest sponsor and then another one comes along straight after! Seriously though - the WRC are delighted to announce that Strongbow Extra Cold have agreed to sponsor another of our six bands at BluesRockfest at The Red Lion, Gravesend, on Saturday 4th July! However, there is still a chance for you to sponsor the final remaining band - simply contact us below and we will let you have all the details.

OK Wrinkly's Virgil & The Accelerators/ Loose Moorings Red Lion review from Friday night is on its way but our humble picture gallery is now available here. And to complete Sunday's update we have an amazing sixteen minute Virgil And The Accelerators Video Of The Day which we think encapsulates the atmosphere of a great night!

Today's 'Video Of The Day' is T.Rextasy who have now been performing around the world for over twenty years - a career that ironically outlives Marc’s very own T.Rex! The band is now accepted as the world’s only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan & T.Rex - and the only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan’s family, estate, original ex-members of T.Rex and Bolan’s catalogue management! The band has been described by many as ‘beyond the boundaries of tribute’. Truly a Rock ’n’ Roll concert for all ages then - so if you would like to know exactly what a Marc Bolan concert was like in the 1970's, then our 4th Wrinklystock Charity Gig at The Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford, on Saturday 21st November is for you! But hurry - it will be a sell out just like last year and tickets are already selling fast so don't miss out and get your tickets here.

The menacingly named Kings of Oblivion breeze into Sidcup this Sunday 8th March when they appear at The Iron Horse - entry is free and they will be kicking off at 3pm!! They are not as scary as their name sounds as their setlist includes classic covers from The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Doors - to name but a few. So with good weather forecast why not come down, enjoy a few pints and listen to some quality music?

On the subject of Ten Years After, 'The Breakers' gig at The Woodman, Blackfen, in August 1995 was a nugget that many missed out on and in retrospect I realise how lucky I was to be there to witness it. First of all, I shared a pint and a chat outside in the sun with former TYA drummer Ric Lee - who played at a certain Woodstock gig no less! On bass and vocals was Ian Ellis, his list of credentials being 1-2-3, Clouds, Jack Green, Alex Harvey, Pete Townshend and Steve Hackett. My respect for guitarist Paul Samson is well documented and his versatility that night no doubt led me down the transitional path of Gary Moore, Jeff Beck and Joe Bonamassa in latter years. Also on keyboards was Jeff Bannister who had played with Robert Palmer in The Alan Bown Set and had also played on Joan Jett's 'Bad Reputation'. All in all a gig to remember. AJ.

One of the great Rock tracks of all time has to be 'Woke Up This Morning' by Nazareth - hence our 'Video Of The Day'! So it's a great honour for the WRC to have the Dunfermline Rockers as friends on the NUMUBU network. So much so that the guys have told us about the appointment of their new lead singer, Carl Sentance. Apparently Carl (formerly of Krokus and the Geezer Butler Band) blew the rest of the band away in the space of half a song during his demo and he was offered and accepted the job right there and then! Anyway you can see the new line-up at 'Legends Of Rock' at East End Park, Dunfermline, on Saturday 30th May - where they will be joined by Big Country to raise money for Dunfermline Athletic F.C. Rock music and football - a marriage made in heaven!

"At this time of year when 'Fairytale Of New York' is churned out once again - the Ugly Ducking fairytale in reverse springs to mind given Black Star Riders reinvented themselves from Thin Lizzy. This point is hammered home as Lizzy legend Scott Gorham makes his way on to the Wembley stage just before 7 to a half empty arena. With a restricted forty minute set, literally 'All Hell Breaks Loose' as BSR hit the ground running with the classy title track from their very first album - with Gorham's guitar already in overdrive. Ricky Warwick then asks "Are You Ready?" and of course the arena starts to rock as those unique Lizzy guitar harmonies ring around the auditorium. It's then back to the title track of their second album 'The Killer Instinct' which again has those distinct Lizzy chords with guitarist Damon Johnson showing that he's just not there to make up the numbers. We then see-saw back to 'Jailbreak' - Warwick's vocals as usual are spot-on for my all-time favourite Lizzy track. Brilliant. 'Bound For Glory' was followed by the opening Celtic drum intro from the excellent Jimmy DeGrasso on 'Kingdom Of The Lost' also from 'AHBL' - a latter day 'Black Rose'. However the stand-out BSR track of the night was 'Finest Hour' from 'TKI' - not forgetting new recruit Robert Crane on bass (who replaced Marco Mendoza) completing a formidable BSR unit. The guys finished with 'Whisky In The Jar' and to be pefectly honest we could have quite easily gone home happy after that opener. Black Star Riders might still have a bit of an identity problem but who cares when they produce music of this quality." AJ. Have a look at today's Vid Of The Day plus our photo gallery here.

Melbourne, Australia’s Progressive Metal ensemble, Teramaze, first release for The Mascot Label Group - ‘Her Halo’ hits music stores today! Teramaze was originally formed during lead guitarist/producer Dean Wells teenage years. The band put out a couple albums in the early years, but it wasn’t until the release of ‘Anhedonia’ in 2012 that Wells felt the modern version of Teramaze actually began. That third album was met with critical acclaim, as was the follow up of 2014’s ‘Esoteric Symbolism’, which saw the quartet making a bolder statement and taking no prisoners to flex their musical muscle even further. Now with new vocalist Nathan Peachey, Teramaze have arrived with their cinematic ‘Her Halo’ - a new beginning that not only brings about more potential, but promise as well. The vid for the first single off ‘Her Halo’ - ‘Out of Subconscious’ - is today's Track Of The Day!
