www.rockmusicphotographer.co.ukclick for hi res UK rock fans can expect a diverse selection of classic songs from Hughes’ extensive cannon, including Trapeze, Deep Purple, Hughes & Thrall and Glenn's solo albums.

Hughes is best known for his highly distinctive style that effortlessly blends the elements of rock, soul and funk. He’s worked with everyone from Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, the KLF, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and is currently riding high with Jason Bonham, Joe Bonamassa and Derek Sherinian in hotly tipped rock supergoup Black Country Communion.

Hailed around the world as one of the last of the truly great British classic rock vocalists, in 2010 Hughes sang with Heaven and Hell at the High Voltage festival in London as a tribute to Ronnie James Dio. Lifelong friends, Ronnie often cited Glenn as his favourite male singer, so it is only fitting the Voice of Rock sang in honour of the Voice of Metal.

In keeping with the tradition of the classic British hard rock vibe that he has focused on with Black Country Communion, Glenn's solo touring band packs a harder, more direct rock approach than previous incarnations.

The upcoming solo tour promises to be an exciting and powerful showcase for Hughes and his unstoppable band.

I will be attending Black Country Communion's gig on 30th December, and I'll be giving it the full review treatment very shortly afterwards. Joanne Shaw Taylor is also on the bill, so it's shaping up to be a fantastic evening of rock and blues. What a gig to end the year on \m/
 
 
Corey Taylor the main man from Slipknot has released a single for Teenage Cancer Trust. Entitled X-M@S it's vying for #1 in the charts here in the UK. It's available from all reputable stores for 99p so make sure you get it, because A: it's a great song, and B: it's for a good cause and C: it'll annoy the hell out of the X Factor organisers ;o)
 
 
Blues/Rock legend Joe Bonamassa has recorded a Christmas Song, which is available as a free download from his website www.jbonamassa.com using the promo code XMAS10 so go and check it out.

Updates updates 22/11/2010
 
Well I've done some major updates over the weekend, mainly for the artists that I've had on my show. Had an album dropped in my lap last week by Kyrbgrinder. It ROCKS, will do a full review of the album sometime later this week if I can.

The show featuring Dead Cells at the weekend went really well, and I'll hopefully be getting more guests for my show soon. Keep checking back for updates, as I'll hopefully get to them as often as I can!

Show news 08/11/2010
 
It seems there were some technical difficulties during my last show, so in light of that, I'll be repeating the interview with Philip Sayce on this week's show (13th November). My local radio station KLFM will be featuring one of my interviews this Sunday 14th from 21:00 GMT, you can tune it at www.klfm967.co.uk from 19:00 to listen to Bob's show.

I'm really looking forward to catching up with exciting new rock band Dead Cells later on this week, check out my review of their single, due to be released in a few weeks. More details to follow.
