NEWS: Due to the Severe Flood Warning in our area, tonight’s Bex Rocks show w/ @chili_bex has been cancelled.

Flood Alerts 5-12-2013

It’s with regret that Bex has had to pull out of tonight’s show. The local residents along the seafront in Felixstowe have been told to evacuate and the nearby homes are also at high risk of flooding. Hence why the show has been cancelled; Bex will be kept rather busy this evening.

A ‘Severe Flood Warning’ was issued earlier and we can only hope that should flooding occur, it is kept to an absolute minimum. Of course, it goes without saying that safety and the securing of property to upper floors, wherever possible, is of primary importance. 

You can still keep entertained by posting on our Facebook Group while still listening to Big Rock 247. You’ve done it before and I’m sure you’ll do it all again! 🙂

In the meantime, you keep on a rockin’ and we’ll see you all again next week safe and sound.

Cheers

MJx

Imagine life without rock ‘n’ roll? Imagine Thursday’s without The Classic Rock Show? No, I can’t either! #Thanksgiving

Twitter profile pic copy

Hello everyone.

Thursday has come around again. Thank goodness for that!! 

Gotta also thank all those of you who have contributed song requests towards this week’s playlist. The Classic Rock Show is built around what you want to hear. That’s the way you like it, that’s the way we like it and that’s the way it’s gonna stay. You okay with that? 😉

On the show this evening, we’ve got Judas Priest, Diamond Head, Whitesnake, Hawkwind, Rainbow, Lone Star, Kiss, Little Angels, Magnum, Tool and a request to play something off the new Cold Cold Ground album (which, I might add, is really rather bloody good). Plus a whole heap of other prime cuts.

Tune in this evening from 7pm (GMT) to hear some of the very best rock ‘n’ roll produced from years gone by, right up to the present day. And if you fancy having a chat online with all the other listeners and yours truly during the show, then get yourself across to our Facebook Group. Plenty of good laughs and banter to be had. I’m looking forward to it.

See you later.

Cheers!

Amongst all these, we’ll also hear from Faster Pussycat, Electric Light Orchestra, Golden Earring, Scorpions, Rainbow, Status Quo, Starz, Robin Trower, Damn Yankees, along with the Black Spiders, Huntress and Lamb Of God, so it’ll be just a bit LOUD in places 😉

#ListenAgain to The #ClassicRock Show ‘Special’ 1974 & 1975

Last Thursday’s show proved to be one of the most popular to date, judging by the feedback received both during and after the show.

The major news stories and charts of those two golden years certainly brought back some memories for you all, right?

If you fancy listening in again, then the whole of this show is available via Mixcloud – click here and be taken to it directly.

Cheers!!
