spongebob Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Their old drummer was my drum tutor - 30 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yep, they're grand - and I've played with their "Jimmy" back in the day when we were in the same Genesis tribute band, lovely chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Saw and got quite matey with the original lineup over 10 years ago (and got quite drunk with them in Nottingham after doing a bit of voluntary gear humping for them after a gig in Nottingham once). Then Simon the drummer left though I think he's now back and the guitarist and finally Steve on bass/keys went so Billy on vox is the only constant member, think the band basically revolves around him. Nice bloke, started out as a bass player in Jagged Edge for those of us who remember that far back. Edited July 19, 2015 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Simon's back? He was my tutor. Though he was only 19 at the time! ....and I was a mere 11! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Anyone living in the Midlands and likes Zep should check out The Zeppelin 3. Amazing tribute even though only a 3 piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subbeh Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Haven't seen them for a while but also in the midlands, Fred Zeppelin. Always enjoyed their bass player's stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Yeah the Freds have been going even longer, singer is a Nottingham lad but the rest were all originally west midlands based. Probably nearer 20 years ago the first time I saw them, Running Horse in Nottm. They still occasionally play a pub not far from me. They were OK but used to lack a keys playing bass player so it closed off doing authentic versions of a good few Zep classics. They may have sorted that out these days though, not seen them for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Always thought Fred Zep singer struggled with the high notes but the Zeppelin 3 singer/bass player gets them all. Then again not seen Fred Zep for a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
