Ryan's Gig Guide - September 2019

Now celebrating their 26th year, Fred Zeppelin are real fans and formed out of their admiration and love of Led Zeppelin’s music. As their name suggests the band do not take themselves too seriously, they know the praise belongs to Robert, Jimmy, John Paul Jones, and Bonzo. They've had the honour of Led Zeppelin front-man Robert Plant attending their gigs and jamming on stage with John Bonham’s son Jason. It must surely also be the best recommendation any band could receive, and also assure any Led Zeppelin fans apprehensive about seeing 'The Fredz'. Its worth taking a camera with you, as you don’t know who could be standing next to you. In the audience have been Magnum front man Bob Catley, Whitesnake guitarist Mel Galley. Roy Wood legendary main man ofThe Move &Wizzard, and Slade's Jimmy Lea are the latest rock celebrity to experience a two-hour Fred Zeppelin gig. mouse-pointer www.fred-zeppelin.com camera Daniel Pearce Friday 6th Sep Townsend Social Club, Halesowen  www.ryansgigguide.com rgg Sep 2019 35
