THE HOT ONE TWO / SUPERBIA – 10/11/23 

If you have been following THE HOT ONE TWO for the last six months, then you will know 6 singles have been released with a ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ theme and you may have realised there’s one sin missing. The seventh is the album title itself, as SUPERBIA is latin for Pride, the mother of them all. Video’s have been added to YouTube and merchandise has been made for each single, during a well organised marketing campaign. You can even wear your favourite single on a T shirt, with the fantastic artwork by Freddie McKie. It has all brought the guys into the spotlight, although those of us who have seen them live and heard the music, know destiny awaits and bigger things are on the horizon.

Time for Sharkfest 4, which is organised by Mark Parsley and Sharon Crosby and is being held at The Station in Cannock. This festival has ten bands and the compère for the day is that lovable comedian Pete K Mally. Quite a mixed line up, besides the rock, we have Blues and Funk not forgetting the Flamenco Glam ! I get there just in time for the openers at 12.30 and the venue is already beginning to fill up nicely, including some Sharks !

DIABLOFURS / WELCOME TO THE CITY OF FUN – 27/10/23 

This is the sophomore album from Diablofurs, a follow-up to their 2020 ‘Neon Satellites’. This is a continuation of the Pop/Punk theme, which lead man Robert Vincent could write a book about. Robert and his brother Lee were together in BIRDLAND from 1988 to 1993, reaching number 1 in the indie charts with the single ‘Hollow Heart’.

GLENN HUGHES   /  THE DAMN TRUTH  – KK’S STEEL MILL   21/10/23 

It wasn’t always easy being a Deep Purple fan in the 1970’s. I was a young teenager and totally infatuated with Ian Gillan, so when Mark 2 became Mark 3, the changes took a while to be embraced. Glenn Hughes was soon enlisted to replace Roger Glover on bass and his funk/soul influences led to both ‘Burn’ and ’Stormbringer’ treading a different path from previous ‘Purple’ albums.

NWOCR LIVEFEST 2 / KK’S STEEL MILL  DAY 2  – 24/9/23 

So here we all are back at KK’s for Day 2. A few sore heads in the room no doubt, but like yesterday there’s already a decent crowd on the barrier at 2pm. After such a wicked Day 1 with ‘The Treatment’ finishing off in style, today another 8 bands are lined up to represent the NWOCR at LIVEFEST 2. There’s a few preliminary chats, introductions and friendly hugs, then I head on down to the front for the opening band.

Richard Brindley and his crew certainly know how to whet your appetite for their events, the build up for NWOCR LIVEFEST 3 has been enormous. This long awaited and epic occasion has finally arrived and judging by the amount of folk in KK’s at 2pm, it’s going to be a scorcher. LIVEFEST 3 also coincides with the launch of the NWOCR Volume 2 compilation CD, which was released on September 22nd and many of the bands appearing over the weekend, have songs on the double CD package that has over 40 tracks. There’s a whole pile of NWOCR Merch to be found on the Website including that collectable Tea Towel !

TIGERFEST 2023 / THE RIGGER – 9/9/23

edible day, a line up that was so entertaining and yet again I must praise The Rigger and it’s staff for hosting such a brilliant and faultless day of music. The sound was spot on and Anthony Bellamy must be congratulated for organising TIGERFEST 2023.  On Saturday at Tigerfest the bands were signing posters and a t-shirt to auction off at the end of the night, but unfortunately these disappeared. So if anyone picked up any of these items up by mistake can you please contact me.
