‘’For the next three hours your mother wouldn’t like it’’
Those words, uttered from the Earls Court stage a few feet away from me, around about 8 o clock on May 24th 1975 by an unassuming guy with a beard are ingrained on my brain – a similar announcement on the evening of August 11th 1979 made by the same person is equally as memorable. So it was very heart warming to be face to face last Sunday night with Nicky Horne the man responsible for that statement.
The occasion was the …

Then as it was…
This time there’s no sleeping bags required…
“Mum…” I recall testing the water to see if she was asleep or not that night. “Can I go to see Zeppelin in August pleeeese?”
Negotiations had begun. Living in the backwater of Goole meant that I’d had a pretty sheltered existence and going to gigs hundreds of miles away was by parental permission only. Over the ensuing week Mother undertook a deal of …

Thirty years ago just about now, I commenced a Knebworth countdown religiously ticking off the days before the big date. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.
History is somewhat repeating itself as I shape up for another busy August all these years later.
The Knebworth book is nigh on a wrap in terms of design. Martyn and I are just liaising over the final revisions. The last few days have been pretty intensive trying to tie it all up – a big thanks in the direction of Lorraine Robertson and …

The forthcoming one day Knebworth Then As It Was Celebration Day at the Lytton Arms is shaping up to be a memorable event. Tribute band Boot Led Zeppelin will be performing a special Knebworth acoustic set in the late afternoon.

I hadn’t slept too well on Thursday even though I went to bed early. I got up around 6am. Gary Foy had sent me an email at 12.04 am. I clicked on and read it – not good news at all as he was informing me that he was also being made redundant in a few weeks from his transport logistics job. He knew it was coming and here’s hoping he can sort something else soon. Tucked within Gary’s email were the following comments:
‘’Just seen news that Jacko may …

The clips and media coverage of the ‘It Might Get Loud’ film blazed out a simple message in my view.
Jimmy Page has still got it. In spades.
He looked well at ease at the press conference and ever articulate. Even on the few short clips released, this film is sure to be essential viewing. The jam on In My Time Of Dying with Jimmy playing the Gibson Custom looks amazing. Amongst his peers The Edge and Jack White, Jimmy is every bit the regal statesmen of the guitar. With new …

Time for a quick look at some resent Led Zeppelin on-line auction bargains!

First up Jimmy Page’s custom Orange Matamp was sold in an eBay auction for $30000 last Friday. This was reported to be a 1971 Matamp amplifier, custom built and used and owned by Jimmy Page in the 70’s.

A painting of Robert Plant that we featured a few months ago has raised £1,500 for Acorns Children’s Hospice. Painted by Sue Verity, of Tamworth and autographed by Robert, the portrait was snapped up by Led Zeppelin fan, …
