ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL FOR JOE

JOE BONAMASSA picks up another accolade on 27 June when he is inducted into the Cavern Club Wall Of Fame.  The wall consists of hundreds of bricks displaying the names of bands who have appeared at the legendary Liverpool venue since the early-1960s.

Bonamassa is also playing a "secret" invitation-only gig at the venue, previewing material for his forthcoming summer UK dates (2-8 July) when he pays homage to the music of Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.

Albums of the Month

	SCORPION CHILD Acid Roulette (Nuclear Blast) Bands that pay homage to the 70's rock sound need not be copyists as Scorpion Child prove on this album. A groove and riff laden ride that will have you pressing repeat play/landing the needle back on the start of the album. (Jason Ritchie)
	SUNSTORM Edge Of Tomorrow (Frontiers) ...JLT seems to be enjoying a reversion to a heavier style...the album is recommended for lovers of classic European hard rock.   (Andy Nathan)
	RAY WILSON Song For A Friend (Jaggy D Records) The execution is flawless but what stands out here is the collection of lovely tunes. As many artists strive to write that one great song in their lifetime, Wilson has produced a masterful compendium of nine beauties – soothing, melodious and brilliant.  (Mark Shaw)
	BIG BIG TRAIN Folklore  (indie) Not as instant as the previous two ‘English Electric’ albums, ‘Folklore’ reveals itself more slowly and as with every album by this band stands up to repeated plays. A band and album that has a wide appeal beyond the confines of progressive music and folk.   (Jason Ritchie)
	VEGA Who We Are (Frontiers) Standard bearers for a new breed of melodic rock that marries the big hooks of the genre’s heyday with more contemporary arrangements and production, Vega have stood the test of time,   (Andy Nathan)
