Today, in the big Boots by Bond St tube I was standing behind:


Jimmy Paige


Had to tell somebody.


I am cursing myself because there was a stray strand of hair stuck to the back of his coat, I could have plucked it off SO easily. How much would a hair of Jimmy Paige go for on Ebay I wonder?


Am now soaking in Led Zep memories; squeezing my lemon as I type.

Holy christ put this in the religion topic.

I would have died and gone to Led Heaven.

Is it just me but does he look more oriental as he gets older and greyer?


One of the actresses in the play with me works as a hostess in the VIP lounge at O2.

I mean, can you imagine?

No, seriously.

I once stood behind a long-haired flouncing git in the queue in camden virigin, harping on about how the music he was playing was a little bit Manic Nirvana a little bit Physical Graffiti. I coughed *tosser* under my breath and as he turned around it was Robert Plant!!

I immediately felt simultaneously starstruck and a bit of an idiot...but he is a bit of a flouncing git isn't he.

Actually Peckham Rose, a good friend of mine lives in a rural village near Wolverhampton (a bizzare juxstaposition I grant you). Near this village is the home of one Robert Plant.


I have seem him in and around the village a number of times and have twice been sat in a curry house with the great Percy.


Anybody know where John Bonham is buried?

May I sniff your coat please? I am in awe!!!!!


I saw him on the outrider tour in 1986 (IIRC) had front row, in the centre at Newcastle City Hall. He sat down tith his Dan Electric and I shouted "You really going to play Black mountainside - White Summer?" - "How did you know?" he replied. "You use that guitar for those songs because of the tuning....." He just laughed and shook my hand....never washed of for a week.


Miserable git never gave me his scarf at the end of the gig though...despite becoming bezzie mates in an instant...


Still always the next tour to look forward to.....

    • Had a great experience with Paul. He sorted out a lighting issue we had very efficiently and I would highly recommend him! https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/edgleycontracting382245

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
