Black Star Riders frontman Ricky Warwick chooses his Rock God.

Ricky Warwick, frontman of Black Star Riders, reveals his Rock God.

Ricky Warwick has been a busy man so far this year. Black Star Riders release their new album 'Another State of Grace' on Friday 6th September, and he's also gearing up for a headline tour with the band this autumn. Ricky has been in the band since they formed as an off-shoot of Thin Lizzy back in 2012. He hails from Northern Ireland is also frontman of The Almighty, but that band is currently on hiatus. A songwriter in his own right too, Ricky has many strings to his bow, so it's hard to guess who his Rock God might be! Elsewhere on the show, Johnnie shines a light on a big album release from the Noughties for 'This Week In Rock' and he's trawled the rich seams of rock's new releases to find this week's best fresh tracks for you. Expect the usual magnificent overflowing goblet of classic rock too...

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
