Rock On, Wood!!


Radio is by far not a lost art in this modern world.  It’s one media that has adapted within this digital age; you’re finding it on your TV, computer, phone, and in the form of Mp3 downloads.
One of my favourite shows has to be Ronnie Wood’s.
From what we have seen of Ronnie over the last few years within the Rolling Stones, it’s a sorry state of affairs…
Here we are reminded of why you should love him!!
Here he is a FACE!!!


Not a Stone…



There is nothing finer than the rock n’ roll stories and antics those boys got up to in the day alongside giving us some of the most raucous riffs of the 70s with the most beautiful mandolin-flavoured ballads by Ronnie Lane and Rod Stewert when he was once good.
The shows vibe is definitley Ronnie Wood in your living with a guitar and friends… he has special guests from all eras playing, chatting and laughing.
We see Robbie Robertson,  Slash, Flea, Vic Reeves, Glen Matlock, important session guys like Andy Newmark and of course the rest of the Faces, (Mac, Rod and Kenney) to name but a few….
Hearing Rod and Mac singing “Ooh La La” physically made me laugh out loud, as it was sheer brilliance; my cats who were snoozing  on the sofa next to me gave the dirtiest of looks for spoiling their quiet-time.



Not only do we get the guests, we get the music that Ronnie loves that was inspirational - what he grew up on and what he thinks is cool today, so from Gus Cannon’s Jug-Band Stompers to Beatles and beyond,  we travel the breadth of music, from the most obscure, to the most popular.
Ronnie will open your ears to the sounds of real music that will pierce your soul, till the foot’s tapping and hips are shaking.
