Tangerine: Robert Plant & the Band of Joy @ Stubb’s BBQ, 7/26/10
Taken from www.hardrockchick.com with kind permission
I woke up with the sun on Monday morning. It trickles in my windows as it rises over the hills that surround my new home.

”One publishes a splendid Led Zeppelin magazine doesn’t one” – The TBL 2 meet HRH, July 21st 1982.

This was the night Robert Plant performed on a London stage for the first time since the demise of Zep. My good friend Tom and I were there on the evening of July 21st 1982 to witness …

Bizarrely I actually have You Tube evidence of where the good lady Janet and I were on the afternoon of Saturday July 13th 1985.
After watching Status Quo open the event on TV, we took a trip into town for a drink or two – it was a lovely hot day and we wandered into one of our local pubs The Bear in Bedford High …
