They never played it live and Jimmy didn't like the song. But Alyona has been singing this one on stage for a few years.

There's a songbird who sings... And the Alyona power surge at the end for the big finish

Black Dog - International collaboration recorded last year. They've also recorded Rock And Roll & Whole Lotta Love Alyona Yarushina (Russia) - Vocals Andrei Cerbu (Romania) - Guitar Sina (Germany) - Drums Mike Wilbury (Germany) - Bass Mike is Sina's dad, and he did not wish to appear in the video.

Chantel McGregor Band tomorrow night in Chislehurst ( near London).)

This guy, I think he might be from Chile, plays all the instruments. Strong voice too. Awesome cover.

I saw Maiden open up for Priest in London in 1980. I didn't listen to much metal in the 80s, I still rate Priest's 70s work as their best, especially Sad Wings Of Destiny. And I still like the first Maiden album. They were great on the night.

Alyona rarely sings blues, but she has been singing this with the band for several years when they have some gigs.

George, Travelling Riverside Blues sounds awesome. I just subbed the channel and "Liked" the Facebook page. Lots of videos to catch up on over the next few weeks. Lots of classic songs for you to choose from and record. And top class musicianship guaranteed.

New video released today. International collaboration, breathtaking performance from these young musicians

A Since I've Been Loving You improvisation from a couple of years ago. Andrei introduces himself in his video notes I am 14 y.o , I am Romanian guitar player and i love rock and blues. I wanted to play a song from Led Zeppelin because one of the most beautiful song from them and many people sad that I'm the little Jimmy Page, and I tried to look like him, to play like him, but in my style!!!

Andrei recorded this one just over a year ago, based on the Gary Moore version

I've been following this young guy on You Tube for a couple of years. Andrei has just turned 16 years old, and is from Romania. He's got two bands at home in Romania - Iron Cross and Andrei Cerbu & The Crossroads. Iron Cross have already made an album of original songs. And Andrei also collaborates regularly with other musicians from all parts of the world. Check out some of his amazing guitar playing here

Its all Alyona's fault...

Yes, Alyona is definitely interested in hearing from you about this. It will be great if it all comes together. She's a fluent english speaker and has done some other international collabs. She puts this message in all of her video notes - For any invitations: alvayar@yandex.ru

Alyona names this one as her fave Zeppelin song. And, along with The Rover, it was her first introduction to the music of the band. "Many years ago I had not even been listening to Led Zeppelin - even none of their songs were familiar to me at that time before in 2008 a Led Zeppelin tribute band called Plumbum Dreams found me through musical friends and asked me if I want to sing 2 LZ songs with them in Moscow on 40 year anniversary of Led Zeppelin. I decided to try. At that moment I already used my raspy sound in Beatles music. So they gave me just 2 songs: "Since I've Been Loving You" and "The Rover". After that show this band invited me to be their lead singer. That's how I was attracted to that music. Only after I started singing them. Then those songs became really close spiritually to me. Many of them. So I performed often." - Alyona

If you open up the video description, all her social media contact details are there. But, I just sent Alyona a PM on Facebook. She said to email her here - alvayar@yandex.ru,

I was born in the same town as Robert Plant - West Bromwich. So my team is West Bromwich Albion. Unfortunately, Robert supports our rivals from down the road. Nevermind 😕 Two famous Albion fans are Eric Clapton and Ronnie Wood. I understand why Eric is an Albion fan, but I'm not sure about the Ronnie connection.

Innes Sibun was Robert Plant's guitarist on the 1993 Fate Of Nations world tour. When he was gigging in Moscow in 2014, he asked Alyona to be his vocalist for some songs. This is one of the songs that they did, but this is Alyona's own vocal cover, she recorded this back in the summer

Alyona Yarushina is a vocalist, composer, performer, arranger from Moscow. I've copied part of her bio below where she introduces herself. I am a singer originally from Russia. I have a full musical education, starting with music school, 9 years on the piano, then college as a conductor of a choir, then a musical university as an artist and vocalist.In 2004, I won the “International Hopes of Europe” competition in Sochi, Russia along with the “Grand Prix” prize, which represents the highest award that competition can offer. There were 27 countries represented in that competition with over 1,000 contestants.In Russia, I played with several bands. One of them is the best Led Zeppelin tribute band in Russia called "Plumbum Dreams". The other one is called "Back from the USSR", where we played Beatles songs in my own arrangements. We played in Liverpool, England almost every year on the Beatles week fest. My dad, Valeriy Yarushin is my bass player in this band. He's a legend of Russian folk-rock and his band “Ariel” was most popular in the 70s and still is now. I learned a lot from him.During my career, I had the opportunity to perform with great artists such as Chick Corea, Chris Slade (AC/DC drummer), Ryan Roxie (Alice Cooper guitarist), Innes Sibun (Robert Plant's guitarist), David Campbell (musical producer and arranger of Muse and Adele), Brian Tichy (drummer for Whitesnake, Billy Idol, Foreigner, Ozzy Ozborne), Hal Bruce and others.I started making cover songs on my own in 2002. Since that time, I have made over 320 videos for my Music Channel on YouTube from a variety of different genres. I have recorded cover songs from ABBA, Beyonce, Chicago, Duran Duran, Motley Crue, Queen, Whitney Houston and many more.I like a lot of different song styles like rock, pop and jazz. I love classic rock. Bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Boston, Oasis, Jeff Buckley, Vixen, Janis Joplin, Aerosmith, Guns'n'Roses, Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Winger, Skid Row and others. While Alyona's You Tube channel is completely multi-genre featuring her covers of the bands and artists she has mentioned, and many others, its rock music - and especially Led Zeppelin - that is her main thing. She has recorded a lot of her own Zeppelin vocal covers. And she says there is a lot more of them coming in 2019. Alyona has also written the songs for her own debut album, and says it will be a classic rock/melodic rock style album. She just needs to get it recorded. This will take her some time to get done as she will be recording and producing the whole thing herself in her home studio. She uses Logic Pro and plays all the instruments herself through her keyboard. Her skills in this area are amazing to watch. She has made a lot of her videos in this way. If anyone is interested in following the musical adventures of Alyona, I will keep this thread regularly updated. Usually with her Zeppelin vocal covers, she has been singing Zeppelin since 2008. Here's the link to her You Tube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/rjn3000/videos

I love UFO, Phenomenon and Force It my fave albums. I saw them in 1979 at Hammersmith Odeon, one of the first gigs I ever went to. Phil Mogg has announced that he is going to retire after the 2019 tour. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/phil-mogg-ufo-retirement/ Check out this youngster playing Rock Bottom. This is from 2013, James would have been 14 or 15 when he did this

I bought a Zeppelin sweatshirt at Knebworth in 79. I used to wear it a lot for a few years, but its since shrunk in the wash (well, that's my excuse anyway). Its one of those beige ones with a kind of stamp on there like on In Through The Outdoor. And a big Swan Song thing on the back. I've seen these on ebay and the seller is usually asking for several hundred £s. Crazy.

I remember the late 70s when I was a teenager, The Song would occasionally be shown in a local(ish) cinema, normally just for one night a couple of times a year. A bunch of us would jump on the train like it was some kind of pilgrimage to some cinema somewhere. I'd seen the film six times by the end of 1979. They were good times...I've had the DVD for years and have now upgraded to the two disc version.

Chantel McGregor Band next week on May 10 and May 11th. First at the Beaverwood Club in Chislehurst, then the Boom Boom Club in Sutton next night.
