Rocking in the Name of …

Not far off of 2011 now and plans are well underway for our next big Rock party.
Keeping the DressUp & RockOut party vibe, we’ve got two superb Rock Tribute bands lined up, Rock DJs, Rock Awards, and some extra Rock magic to throw into the mix too… so make sure there is some space in your diary around Friday 25th March or Friday 1st of April.

This’ll be a Rocktober type event, but it ain’t in October, so it needs a name of its own…
Let us know your suggestions!

The Top 40 Rock Countdown

Posted on Facebook & Twitter as a daily countdown to Rocktober, it was awesome pulling together my view on the 40 most awesome rock songs of all time. Seriously, give it a go! Try pulling together your top 5 / 10 / 40. Go on. It’s damn hard to distil it down and you’ll keep thinking of more and more tracks that just have to fit in there somewhere … a great excuse to listen to a load of your favourites. It’s like therapy, man. Your definition of rock can be as sweeping or narrow as you like, just get stuck in.
