DAVE LEWIS DIARY: WITH ROYALTY 1982/ JASON AGAIN/ BAND OF JOY / SCHOOL’S OUT

”One publishes a splendid Led Zeppelin magazine doesn’t one” – The TBL 2 meet HRH, July 21st 1982.
Seeing the announcement of the Princes Trust concert due to be staged later this year with Eric Clapton headlining, reminded me of my experiences at the 1982 Princes Trust Rock Gala staged at the London Dominion Theatre.
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 …

DAVE LEWIS DIARY: LIVE AID 25 YEARS GONE/ JASON/  ROBERT/  RIVER FESTIVAL

It was good to see a fair amount of media fare acknowledging the 25th anniversary of Live Aid this week.
So where we you on that esteemed day?
