_{Delta Deep is a side project started by Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen back in 2012 and is described as “an extreme blues project”. They released their self-titled debut album in 2015, but that is being released by Frontiers Records on 26th January along with a new live album called “East Coast Live”. This is actually a recommendation therefore for two albums as both are very much worth checking out. I included the live version of “Down In The Delta” on the Friday NI Rocks Show this week.}

_{The Temperance Movement come to Belfast on 28th February 2018 to play a gig in The Empire Music Hall. The show is part of a European tour that commences on 19th February, just three days after the release of their latest album entitled “A Deeper Cut”. The album is released via Earache Records. The track “Caught In The Middle” is included on the Friday NI Rocks Show this week (uploaded 25th Jan).}

_{“Love Hate Conspiracies” is the new album from English rockers Blood Red Saints and it is released on 26th January on the AOR Heaven label. Singer Pete Godfrey was my guest on the Friday NI Rocks Show in December 2015 after the band released their debut album “Speedway”. This is a great follow-up to the debut album, and if anything is a little heavier, which when comes to the melodic rock genre, is generally a good thing. I included the track “Live & Die” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 5th January and on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 16th January.}
