It wouldn’t surprise me if Plant popped up as a special guest as I believe he was close friends with Geezer. Lots of those Birmingham guys knew each other. Plant used to borrow Nobby Holder’s van for gigs.
In fact Ozzy and Nobby are close friends. He could get a guest spot as well.
I mean listen, if I can score a ticket and the legend that is Robert fucking Plant turns up I certainly won’t be complaining!
I’ve seen Plant live 4 times. In fact I still rate his gig in Glasgow in 2014 as the best I’ve ever seen by anyone.
He is one of the true all-time rock greatest.

Just to remind me what floor Jansen is.
I’d always thought this was a Taj Mahal original … how wrong I was. It was first recorded when he was in the folk rock band Rising Sons (along with a 17yr old Ry Cooder). I’m struggling now to know which version I prefer. Both are stunning.
Slade … pre-glam days. 
I always thought Brown Eyed Handsome Man was a TM original too.
‘Round and around and around we go , where the world’s headed nobody knows.’ 
Love this song, my favourite, it resonates today a as it did then towards the end of 1960s when there was political unrest and turmoil.
Another hidden gem for the TAN Northern soul aficionados.
RIP Rick Buckler. Thank you for the music.
Treated myself to a ticket for these guys later in the year
3 yrs ago Russia invaded Ukraine. Shortly afterwards a Ukranian family (Mother , son and daughter) was refuged in our town here in the South of France. They attended the same school as our daughter and we quickly became friendly. Their first language is Russian and my daughter has recently started to learn it.
This is a song from a band she has been listening to a lot who sing in both Russian and English. They are exiled in Lithuania and are obviously very much against the war. (English subtitles available.)
I’ve been reading some articles about early electronic instruments which has always been an interest of mine. I had always assumed that polyphonic electronic synthesisers didn’t emerge until the mid 1970s with Stevie Wonder and Keith Emmerson being early adopters, but there was a much earlier device produced by Hammond in the late 1930s called the Novachord.
I dug out a couple of samples, but one early recording is very familiar. I’d always assumed that the odd tone of the backing was down to the limitations of the recording technology, but this is what a Novachord sounds like.
The first synthpop record? Vera Lynn’s We’ll meet again:
A touch more sedate than their early years, but I guess if its in your blood, it stays for good :0)
His birthday was last Sunday… 79yrs young, looks about 40.!
Had quite the musical weekend.
Friday night watched Dirty Loops wow the crowd both with their catchy dance tunes and their blindingly brilliant virtuosity!
Saturday night saw Night Verses and Animals as Leaders. Never thought there would be moshing and crowdsurfing in a show of instrumental prog metal bands but it definitely added to the experience.
Sunday night (while walking past hundreds of barcodes) saw Limp Bizkit. I actually didn’t like them at all when they first came out. Then I really liked the Mission Impossible song when that came out. And when I saw them live at Download it completely changed my mind about them. They are an awesome live band!
