Horselunges Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 I've been an avid fan of Led zeppelin since 1978. I enjoy the learning and sharing of Zeppelin information especially when it involves the fifth member "Peter Grant". In fact, I really enjoy learning of both Jimmy Page and his cohort Peter Grant. Without Peter Grant, Zeppelin would still have been a successful band however they would not have garnered the financial Apex that they achieved without Grant's unwavering direction. For the last couple of years I've really enjoyed learning all I can about Peter Grant's personal and professional life. Grant has inspired me to delve further not only into his business dealings but also with his surviving family members' lives; One of the great mysteries to me yet to be revealed. I encourage and welcome any information on one of the greatest pioneers of the music industry "Peter Grant" Quote

MadScreamingGallery Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 This thread might receive a better response if it were moved to either the LZ Master Forum or the LZ Newbies Forum. I am not sure if this link to Sam Rapallo’s memorial to Peter Grant is still functioning: http://www.led-zeppelin.com/EMpeter.html Another interesting article about Peter Grant can be found here: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn41...24/ai_n14019808 I remember seeing Peter Grant around the band and I will admit to being absolutely terrified of the man. His facial expressions, his girth, his bluster, and his demeanor all combined to strike fear in me. When I finally, as an adult, gained some understanding of the music industry and its complex and competitive culture, I came to appreciate Mr. Grant and all that he did for Led Zeppelin. I realize now that, thanks in part to him, I had some of the best experiences of my life. Quote
SteveAJones Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Mr. Rock & Roll originally aired September 25th 1999 on BBC 4. It is an excellent documentary on Peter Grant's personal and professional life. Runs about 45 mins. This was one in a series of similar programs delving into the lives of managers. I have a number of Peter Grant and Horselunges Manor items in my archive. Quote
Lady Goodman Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I recently came across a picture of these two lovely ladies at http://www.melwilliams.biz/shop2.htm Can anyone shed some light on which one is Peter Grant’s wife and anything about her musical career? Quote

Pieter Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 In his biography it says she was a ballet dancer. Quote
SteveAJones Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Wearing a wig? When she is seated in the car alongside Peter Grant isn't she is a brunette? If Helen or Warren Grant would like to get in touch I have some images of Horselunges Manor which go back over 100 years. Quote
