The WRC has come a long way in 18months and we are now delighted to announce the introduction of the new Members Package.

Famous Picks
As AJ stated in his review I managed to retrieve the pick that The Hives threw in our general direction. Apologies to the gentleman who's fingers I nearly crushed as he bent down to pick it up!!! All's fair in the world of rock n' roll!!

WRC founder members at the O2
I am sure it has not escaped your notice that the Members package was due on May 1, however we have some exciting news about a well known person in music who has agreed to become the first member of the WRC. As well as that he is compiling a Tracks of our Lives so we thought it would be a good idea to wait until we have that to hand - Watch this space!!
