^{There are two NI Rocks Shows uploaded each week on Rock Radio NI. These are the playlists for those Shows for the month of July – all of which are still available from the On Demand Player. There are tracks by around 160 different artists on the Shows this month. There are also monthly Spotify playlists for the Friday NI Rocks Show featuring most of the tracks from each Show that month.}

^{Playlists for June were published previously and those Shows are also still available via the On Demand Player – http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/news/rrni-updates/3849-ni-rocks-playlists-for-june-2022}

^{There was a new interview with Steve Mann on the Show this month as well as a repeat of a recent interview with Scott Holiday. There was also a special promo feature with Shinedown’s Brent Smith. All previous interviews can be found here - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews.html and on the NI Rocks MixCloud page as well - https://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/  .}

^{The “NI Rocks Recommends” feature for July includes album releases by Shinedown, Cleanbeak, Battering Ram, Orianthi, Highway Sentinels and Matt Mitchell & The Coldhearts.}

^{A regular feature highlighting some of the best album releases each month. I don’t do album “reviews” – this is simply a personal recommendation to check out an album - just a few words about the albums that appeal to me and about the artists releasing them. These will also be albums from which I’ll have been playing tracks on the Friday NI Rocks Shows recently. This month it will include albums from Shinedown, Cleanbreak, Battering Ram, Orianthi, Highway Sentinels, Scar For Life and Matt Mitchell & The Coldhearts.}

^{Steve Mann is probably best known to many as a founding member of Lionheart and as part of Michael Schenker’s band, whether it be the McAuley Schenker Group, Michael Schenker Fest or Michael Schenker Group. He has, of course been involved with numerous other bands and projects and it was actually the release of a new album with singer Chris Ousey that led me to have a chat with Steve via Skype on 19th July.}

^{We chatted for about 35 minutes about the Ousey Mann album, working with Michael Schenker, a new project with Robin McAuley, the recent re-release of the Liar albums and, of course, Lionheart. You can hear that interview on the Friday NI Rocks Show from 22nd July along with tracks from Ousey Mann, MSG and Lionheart. That Show is available from our MixCloud page -}
