FRED ZEPPELIN

Event information

The story so far:

Advance tickets £12.50. £15.00 OTD
In 2023 Fred Zeppelin have reached 30 years together.
Well, to be precise, Steve Black (that's me on drums)
formed the band 30 years ago with three mates.
Our original singer Rob Bloomer left after 2 years so
Steven Gale replaced him, and approx 11 years ago
our bassist Kevin Brown, & guitarist Keith Jenkins also
left the band. We really thought that would be the end but we
got very lucky and found the dynamic duo of Mark Cresswell
on bass and Elliot Gavin on guitar. We're a bit like Trigger from
'Only Fools & Horses' talking about his broom (that's if you are
old enough to remember!). Anyway, we think 30 years is an
achievement that we're all proud of.

30 Years Gone....
During their time together the band are honoured that
Led Zeppelin’s front-man, Robert Plant, has attended
three of their gigs and John Bonham’s son, Jason,
even jammed with them on stage. It must surely also be
the best recommendation any band could receive and
assure Led Zeppelin fans apprehensive about
seeing The Fredz.

It's worth taking a camera with you, as you don’t know who could be
standing next to you. In the audience have been MAGNUM’s
front-man Bob Catley, WHITESNAKE’s guitarist Mel Galley.
Roy Wood legendary main man of THE MOVE & WIZZARD,
and SLADES Jimmy Lea.

The band were also invited by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page
to attend a charity event of which Jimmy is a patron.
They were thrilled to meet and chat with the legendary guitarist.
Also at the party were Roger Daltrey, Julian Lloyd Webber,
Leo Sayerand Formula One’s David Coultard. What a night !!

According to one of Kerrangs reader's polls, FRED ZEPPELIN
were among the top ten best live bands to see. Quite an
achievement, as at the time they were the only tribute
band listed in any category.
