  1. Didn’t expect to see Led Zeppelin group pic to appear on Michael Portillo’s GB Railway Journeys (Series 13 ep 6) 25/5/21. 

    Something clicked when he said  “ChiselhurstCaves”, but it wasn’t til his tour guide announced with much pride that many bands, from Lonnie Donagan Kinks Who Yardbirds culminating with a triumphant  “ & Led Zeppelin celebrated the starting their new Record Label (Swansong) in the Seventies here” that I found myself looking at an early group (official) pic of our Favourite Band. 
     

    Just love that they can still spring back into “normal” mainstream consciousness so easily.

  2. I remember touring Scotland (Birding)in the early 2000s & we stopped off at a small run down quayside in Caithness (North as you can go in Mainland Scotland) called Harrow Harbour. Much to my unbridled joy there was a tiny plaque saying “Opened by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page 30th April 1979”.

    Sadly the pic I took got lost together with the ancient Mobile I had at the time. 
    Just amazed me he would have a plaque in such an obscure place. There is some info on the attached link, but I’d be interested on any other Pics/memories people may have.

  3. Peter Grant (talking with Mike Figgis &  Malcom McClaren of all people) appeared briefly in the Ronnie wood documentary “Somebody up there likes me” on Sky Arts Channel 13th June, talking about Jeff Beck Group. Rod Stewart asked about PG said  “f***king Bast**d ...I hated him....he was a bully” 
    Grant talks about his early days as tour Manager with Gene Vincent & carrying a gun & scaring some would be “trouble makers” in Rotherham. 
    Entertaining 5 mins or so...
