CLASSIC rock heads up our hit parade this week, thanks to a visitor of Wokingham Music Club.
The great venue, which we can’t wait to see back in action, welcomed Keith Atack for a tribute to Robin Trower.
Since then, Keith has released Nine Lives and it’s this tune in of Wokingham Loves Music playlist.
You can listen for FREE, via Spotify.
There’s a special page set-up at bit.ly/wokinghamlovesmusic
Keith Atack – Nine Lives
Keith has visited the area to perform at Wokingham Music Club (WMC) with his tribute to to legendary guitarist Robin Trower, Bridge of Sighs.
He was so impressed with local photographer, Andrew Merritt’s photos from the gig, that he included them in his video of the Trower classic, Day of the Eagle.
As well as his tribute activities, Keith recently released this new single in his own right and it’s a powerful piece of classic rock, showcasing his excellent guitar talents – www.facebook.com/Keith-Atack-Music-104709838281012
Red Tape Resistance – Time is a Killer
Even though this Bracknell-based band’s 2020 single release, Hollow, was only featured in this playlist feature recently, their brand-new single, released a week ago is included here as it’s rather good.
The track has a mellow atmospheric opening before gradually building in intensity to a strong and powerful closing section.
We’ll look forward to seeing this performed live when the band are able
to play live again – www.facebook.com/redtaperesistance
