Remembering a true virtuoso, born December 6th, 1956: Randy Rhoads.

While many know him as the explosive guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, Randy's heart was deeply rooted in classical music. He was a dedicated guitar teacher who applied classical discipline to his playing, revolutionizing heavy metal with complexity and soul. His work on albums like Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman set a new, unreachable standard for guitarists.

His life ended far too soon in a 1982 plane accident, but his legacy as one of the most influential and skilled metal guitarists of all time is forever cemented.

Rest in power, Randy. Your music continues to teach us all.

Listen with us today as we celebrate his monumental contributions to rock.

BREAKING NEWS! The legendary MARILLION are heading back on tour across the UK in Autumn 2026! 🍂

That’s right! The masters of neo-prog have just announced a massive 14-date headline tour, and we are so ready for this.

Get ready to experience an unforgettable night of music as the band promises a setlist spanning their entire iconic career, from classic fan favourites to what we all hope will be brand new material from their upcoming 21st studio album!

Frontman Steve 'h' Hogarth sums up the magic of a UK Marillion show perfectly:
“We’ve always said that there’s nothing quite like playing live in the UK. The sheer emotional energy at these shows is usually pretty extraordinary. I’d buy a ticket to watch the crowd, if I didn’t get to do it for free."

And that’s not all! Joining them as very special guests at every single show will be the fantastic Cornish alternative rockers Haunt The Woods. This is a bill you do not want to miss.

Quick quiz for the rock fans! 🤔 Who is the guitarist who has been holding down the rhythm for Guns N' Roses since 2002, while also being a secret weapon for The Psychedelic Furs?

If you said Richard Fortus, you're right! Born on this day in 1966, Fortus is a true unsung hero of the six-string. His versatile and powerful playing has been essential to the sound of two iconic acts.

Question for you: What's your favorite Guns N' Roses song to hear his killer riffs in? Is it "Chinese Democracy," "Better," or a classic tune he helps bring to life on stage?

We're celebrating his birthday by playing his best work all day long. Tune in!

📅On This Day in Music History: 3rd November 1954

A little music trivia for your Monday! Did you know that on this day, Stuart Goddard – the future Adam Ant – was born?

He exploded onto the scene with Adam and the Ants, blending a unique visual style with a powerful, percussive sound. His incredible run from 1980-1983 saw him land 10 Top Ten hits in the UK, including the massive #1 singles 'Stand And Deliver,' 'Prince Charming,' and 'Goody Two Shoes.'

Beyond the music, he also built a solid acting resume, appearing in over two dozen film and television productions.

Happy Birthday to the dandy highwayman himself! What's the first song that comes to mind when you hear the name Adam Ant?
