I got a sniff of this happening a week or so ago – apparently someone got in touch with our local venue saying that Robert Plant wanted tò do a tour of small venues. The tickets went on sale on Froday and there are a few left if anyone else is down this way. Hilariously, the Exmouth Pavilion have had the emphasise that this is NOT a tribute act….that indicates the usual offerings here!
There is very little on the internet about this new band, setlists etc. Has anyone caught them?
Good for him. Nice to see a rich rocker doing what he fancies rather than just playing enormo-domes for the dosh. (The only time I saw him he was singing swing jazz in the early 80s – much to the annoyance of some of the audience).
Saw “Percy” a couple of weeks ago with the Sensational Space Shifters. He was very good despite playing loads of Led Zep numbers.

There’s a brief review of their set at WOMAD in last month’s Uncut, if that helps. Sounds perfect for a smaller room.
They are touring in December. I have just bought tix for Town hall, Brum on 22/12/19. Which is a fairly small room.
