"Spike Linette's husband has been talking about these volumes at length for the last fifteen years and he feels the time is right, as do the bands that we have approached to take part. All are in different parts of the country and play in different styles. It means that one band will reach parts of the country they may not ever get to under normal circumstances.

 Mad Rat Records latest release is now on sale the first of a set of volumes that promote rock n roll acts from around the country. The first can be yours for just £8

The Blazin’ Aces
​ Are recently formed and they are a five piece rock and roll band that play their fair share of rockabilly and country rock to please all types of audience. The band members are Guy De Cruz on guitar and vocals, Dave Hawkins who is from the 501’s on double bass and vocals, Nicola Cook who is a vocalist, Dave Wallings on guitar and Ken Peters on drums. Ken also plays alongside Guy in a 1960’s band called Billy Liar.

It is always interesting to meet new bands and chatting to
​ The Blazin’ Aces wasn’t any different. In a secluded hut off the back roads of Rayleigh, Essex, I turned up to meet some of the most genuine and polite people I have ever met. They were a little bit talented too! I was offered a cup of tea and a jam doughnut by manager Victoria Pallen and I took my seat on a three piece sofa with the band just meters away from me. I did not know what to expect in the slightest as I have never seen any footage or heard any tracks by the band but I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of material from this new rocking outfit on the scene.
