What’s it gonna take to tickle your fancy on Thursday’s show? We’ve got John McCoy joining us for starters! #ClassicRock

Hello mutants!

If you’ve been otherwise indisposed – perhaps you’re still drowning your sorrows after the Ashes whitewash – you may not have picked up on the news that John McCoy will be my studio guest this Thursday at 7pm. John is a bass player, record producer and former member of bands such as Gillan, Zzebra, Samson, Atomic Rooster, GMT and Mammoth to name but a few.

Three hours (it’ll quite probably end up being more!) of some rather splendid music will be played, of which some will be chosen by the man himself.

But it doesn’t end there; we’re opening the ‘Request-line’ again and if you’d like to be in with a chance of having something you’d like played on the radio, then there are a couple of ways of letting us know:

Tweet your request @classicrockshow

The ‘Request-line’ will be open until 10pm (GMT) Monday, January 27.

Don’t forget also that we will be holding The Classic Rock Show ‘Roll Call’ during the show at 9pm (GMT). It’s your opportunity to say hello to John & I and we give you a shout-out in return. That’s as complicated as the show gets. Nothin’ fancy, just great music and a lorra, lorra laffs!

Looking forward to your company this Thursday at 7pm. Facebook event link here.

We’re both raring to go. Here’s what John has to say about it.

Cheers!

Thanks for sending in your requests! #classicrock

Hi there Thursday night rockers!

Over the past couple of days, you’ve been posting up requests to be entered on to this week’s playlist. We’ve got ’em all in now and it has to be said that they are looking very much like a fine collection of top notch tunes.

‘The Classic Rock Show’ – 7pm, January 23 – continues to be built around what you want to hear. Thanks to each and every one of you for taking the trouble to send them in. I can’t wait to get them played for you!

This week’s ‘Request-line’ is now OPEN!! #classicrock

Hello rockers!

The quality of requests received lately is just fantastic…just keep ’em coming, as it’s now time we opened up this week’s ‘Request-line’!

Either tweet them @ClassicRockShow, post them up on our Facebook Group pinned ‘Request-line’ post or reply to this post directly on our website. Whichever way you want to do it, we just love to hear what you’d like played.

Here we have last Thursday’s playlist for you to peruse.

Plenty of variety and great selections from the listener ‘Request-line’, covering five decades of rock in all. Now that can’t be bad!

We also included some new music from the likes of Sandi Thom, Toby Jepson, Skindred and The Brew. You get the feeling that the future of rock music is secured for decades to come when you hear what’s being produced these days.

We’re back with another show on Thursday, 23rd January at 7pm.

So get busy and send those requests in for this week!!

Cheers

Gonna be kickin’ it hard tomorrow night w/ @Skindred @Soiltheband @VizaMusic @Fuckshovel @Hellyeah @Eisbrecher

Hey, what’s up rockers?!

Tomorrow night’s playlist contains all your requests and much more. I’ll be playing tracks from three bands that I’m very much looking forward to seeing next week – all three are appearing on the same bill.

Headliners Skindred begin their ‘Kill The Power’ UK Tour up at the Norwich UEA on January 22nd…I for one am eagerly awaiting their new album set to be released at the end of January. Skindred will be ably supported by SOiL and Viza who have always been offered a warm welcome when they reach these shores; both bands have seemingly unlimited amounts of energy and enthusiasm.

We’re used to playing the odd Rammstein track on The Classic Rock Show, but Eisbrecher are amongst my favourite Tanz Metal bands, turning out great albums and live performances, but get seemingly little recognition or airplay over here in the UK. I’ll be addressing that with a track off their last album. Not only that, we’ve some hard and heavy, badass rock ‘n’ roll from Hellyeah and Fuckshovel.

Blackberry Smoke, Nine Inch Nails, Manfred Mann, Nazareth, White Zombie, Mastadon, Marillion, Gary Moore, Thin Lizzy are just a few of the many we’ll be hearing from this Thursday, 7pm www.theclassicrockshow.co.uk

See you tomorrow night!!

This is how we did it last week! The Classic Rock Show’s Jan 9 playlist

Good afternoon everyone!

As you can see, last week’s show was made up from old-school ’70s classics and music that brought you right up to the present day…even tracks from forthcoming releases. All in all, it made for another musically varied evening. Tracks that I had originally planned to play but simply couldn’t squeeze in, will be played out on this week’s show.

I’d like to thank you all again for listening in and contributing comments and your memories of gigs/albums etc from the bands we played. The three hours just flew by!

As some of you are aware already, we have opened up this week’s ‘Request-line’. This will close at 10pm [GMT] on Tuesday 14th January. I’m liking what I’m seeing asked for already. You can add your request by either tweeting @classicrockshow or by visiting one of the Facebook links which you’ll find listed below.

Cheers!
