Jeremy Clarkson Rocked by Letz Zep

- April 23, 2016

Amongst the sell out crowd of around 400 people at a recent Letz Zep gig in Surrey was TV presenter and journalist, Jeremy Clarkson, relaxing between episodes of "Top Gear". Speaking to the band after the show, Jeremy said he was a huge Led Zeppelin fan and that he thought the show was "fantastic". So impressed was he that he wrote about the evening in his Sunday Times column the following week. He went on to write:

"If you closed your eyes you really could imagine that it was Plant and Page up there. And if you opened them again the illusion didn?t really go away...The lead singer even seemed to have a length of authentic hosepipe down his trousers"

Clarkson told the band that he'd called his mate Steve Winwood during the performance so he could hear some of the show - Steve's comment was "Sounds amazing, wish I was there!" - praise indeed!!

However much he enjoyed the show, Mr Clarkson was less impressed with the mode of transport when he got a lift to the local pub afterwards in singer Billy's Renault Scenic!

Brazil was a Gas

- June 28, 2013

Letz Zep returned to Brazil for further dates, after the huge success of last year’s tour of South America, where they performed to a crowd of 70,000 avid rock fans in Mexico, when they opened the show for Jane’s Addiction. The band was being interviewed at the offices of Kiss FM, in Sao Paulo, the biggest rock radio station in Brazil. Were they were confirmed as ‘The Number One tribute to Led Zeppelin’, by the station and its listeners.

Upon leaving the building they found themselves caught right in the middle of the local riots. People were protesting about the rises in fares in the city. As the drama unfolded they found they had become the target for the tear gas and rubber bullets fired by the police whizzing past them, and the tear gas landing just a few feet beside them. The band hastily made it to their awaiting car, under the watchful eye of shotgun wielding riot police.
The next evening, the sell out show at the HSBC Music Arena, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Letz Zep were introduced to Bill Medley, of the Righteous Brothers. Bill had requested a meeting with the band personally, though it may have been a case of mistaken identity! He commented on his admiration for the work of Led Zeppelin, and remarked the bands recreation of the show was ‘impressive’. Bill is a true gentleman and a legend! It was a great honour to meet with him.
here is a clip taken from the crowd of the end of the show -
