Universal To Celebrate 70 Years Of The G-Man With Extensive Rory Gallagher Reissue Campaign.28/2/2018 Universal Records is set to celebrate the 70th Birthday of Rory Gallagher with an extensive vinyl and CD reissue campaign. Available for pre-order, 16th March will see each of the lauded Irish guitar hero's solo albums receive the re-issue treatment.  Released to cinemas on 9th March, 'Walk Like A Panther' is an exciting new British comedy starring BAFTA Award nominee Stephen Graham. Featuring Noel Gallagher, Kasabian, Spandau Ballet and Rick Astley, we've got three copies of the soundtrack to give away.  Bloodstock Open Air has announced the latest additions to its 2018 bill. Joining already announced headliners Gojira, Judas Priest and Nightwish, are Pirate drunkards Alestorm, doom merchants Pallbearer, and a host of others. The U.K's premier all metal fest, Bloodstock 2018 takes place from 9th - 12th August, the event takes place at Catton Park, Derbyshire.  Ever since the word broke on the young, dark, handsome man from Memphis with the deep voice and the provocative dance moves, audiences could not get enough of Elvis Presley. Even nowadays, everyone seems to want a piece of the legendary performer – which is probably why even the weirdest memorabilia from his times as the King of Rock and Roll still fetch incredible prices at auctions all over the world.
Fresh from supporting Steel Panther across the U.K., Wayward Sons, the rising rockers led by former Little Angels man Toby Jepson, have announced a run of headline dates in support of debut release 'Ghosts Of Yet To Come'.
