Full Disclosure: The Reinforcements played on the Friday at Call Of The Wild 2023 and I hoped to chat with them whilst on site. Now strangely I kept missing the guys (maybe they knew I wanted to interview them😂) whilst my mate who drove me to and from the festival bumped into at least one of them […]
Things All Come Together: Over the weekend I along with the rest of the guys from CGCM saw many bands at Call Of The Wild that grabbed our attentions and without a doubt, Ransom were one of those bands. With a frontman with attitude and a great voice the band put on a powerhouse performance working the crowd […]
The Long But VERY Important Intro: One of the bands that blew me away at Call Of The Wild were called Square Wild. So much so that I voted them as band of the weekend! Having watched them blow everyone away in the tent, I ran up to the side of the stage and asked if there […]
Some Background To Doing Interviews: One of the things about writing for a music site and doing interviews during a festival is that sometimes you have to wait your turn to chat with a band. Oftentimes bands have multiple interviews to do and they can run late meaning things don’t run to perhaps a schedule […]
After Hunch Power‘s performance at Call Of The Wild, I approached singer and guitarist Harvey Springfield to see if I could have a chat with him to get the low down on the band who had impressed me when they played the tent at the festival. I loved their sound and their thoughtful lyrics and wanted to know […]
Mercia the band from Stoke On Trent were the first to band play at 2023 Call Of The Wild Festival and you can read about their performance on Friday reviews of the festival. I was lucky enough to bump into one of the band’s guitarists up in the media area and as I rather enjoyed their show […]
Intense Explanations And Silliness After a blistering set on Saturday afternoon, I was able to eventually catch up with the 4-piece called Circus 66. It was one of those moments as an interviewer you are put through your paces with folks interjecting at various moments quite quickly, with at least 2 band members having fun […]
At COTW 2023, Call Of The Wild Festival in Lincoln UK, CGCM Rock Radio realized three contributors on site at the event. While every band delivered their best and performed well, not every act appeals to every person. So with absolutely no disrespect to bands not making these lists, here are the top 5 as […]
Hot on the heels of a very successful Call Of The Wild (COTW 2023) comes the first announcements and ticket sales for 2024! Actually, it began as a festival special during the 2023 edition with early bird pricing! And Team CGCM (Rich “The Meister” Dillon, Tom Cornell and Ian “Roadie” Owen) are all set to […]
About one year ago now I met a new friend at Wildfest Festival in Belgium. That gentleman’s name was Justin Cotchin from the UK. He raved about a new, young band called Tailgunner. Listening to a couple of track snippets on his crappy cell phone speaker while we had beers in the square was not […]
