Topic: Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters

Don't know if anyone caught this set from Glastonbury last night but it was the highlight of the weekend so far for me!  And we've now got tickets to see Robert Plant (Robert Plant!!) in Bournemouth on 10 November.  Made up for not going to the Calling Festival and seeing Joe. 

For anyone who didn't catch last night's performance there were a few Zep songs included but given an African, Eastern and country style makeover.  If you listen to the Mighty Arranger album you'll get a flavour of what I mean.  And there's a new album due soon.

Perth for me - not too far to travel.
