Fred Zeppelin have now been playing 31 years, an achievement that we're all proud of. During their time together the band are honoured that Led Zeppelins front-man, Robert Plant, has attended three of their gigs and John Bonhams 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 dont know who could be standing next to you. In the audience have been MAGNUMs front-man Bob Catley, WHITESNAKEs guitarist Mel Galley, Roy Wood, legendary main man of THE MOVE & WIZZARD, and SLADES Jimmy Lea. The band were also invited by Led Zeppelins 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 Sayer and Formula Ones 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. Fred Zeppelin are real fans and formed The Fredz out of their admiration and love of Led Zeppelins music. As their name suggests the band don't take themselves too seriously, they know the praise belongs to Robert, Jimmy, John Paul Jones, and Bonzo. And, the Fredz will still continue with their tradition of honouring the music of Led Zeppelin and not dressing up to imitate them. Please keep in mind they are not a cabaret style look-a-like act.
