Following 2 years of development hell from WIX culminating in this disastrous Forum replacement (how an app can be called a community builder when it doesn't engage live in any way shape or form is beyond us) and a complete disregard of their own communities (ie their users) by WIX, we are nearly ready to move to a brand new platform.

We've been with WIX for well over a decade and we think they thought that that amount of history would mean we would put up with their abuse.

They thought wrong.

Following the desertion of all pretence of customer service from WIX, and the terrible roll out of this so called new forum platform, we are moving to a brand new web host and creating a brand new engagement tool that will actually work.

We are hoping that the new platform will be ready by the end of January 2026, and will start posting and commenting in that probably from the first week of February.

In the meantime, we are posting in our Facebook groups cos as crap as FB is for live show posting, it's still better than this pile of crap from @WIX.

Expect lots of your favourite tunes from Classic Rock to Heavy Metal and many more inbetween

Artists include Priest, Alter Bridge, Bad Company, Led Zep, Motorhead, Joe Walsh, Shinedown, Sammy Hagar, Deep Purple, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Halestorm and many more

We also have the regular features;

• Band of the Show: One band or artist featuring several tunes played throughout the show - This week it's Queen

• The B Sides: B Sides that could be as good as the A Sides!

Now we're in 2026, and following discussions with Dee & Lady Black, and as part of the imminent move to our new web host (which means a different Community Engagement platform), The Wednesday Supplement, Metal Mayhem, The Café and A Baron Does The Blues are now becoming part of the same umbrella group, The Supplement Presents.

This means a little re-jigging of the schedule, with increased frequency of the three rock-related shows and a decrease in the frequency of The Wednesday Supplement- at least for 2026.

The Dates are therefore as follows:

• The Wednesday Supplement 21st Jan, 18th March, 13th May, 15th July, 16th Sept, 11th November - at at 2pm.

• A Baron Does The Blues 2nd Feb, 4th May, 3rd August, 2nd November- all at 7pm.

From a list especially compiled by Dee, join the Baron as we look at the rock, prog, blues and fusion albums that turned in 50 throughout 2025.

Expect Rainbow, ELOY, Deep Purple, Doobie Brothers, Eagles, Hawkwind, Jeff Beck, YES, Scorpions, Queen and many more, including some forgotten gems.
