The story so far:

In 2023 Fred Zeppelin have reached 30 years together.

Well, to be precise, Steve Black (that's me on drums)

formed the band 30 years ago with three mates.

Our original singer Rob Bloomer left after 2 years so

Steven Gale replaced him, and approx 11 years ago

our bassist Kevin Brown, & guitarist Keith Jenkins also

left the band.  We really thought that would be the end but we

got very lucky and found the dynamic duo of Mark Cresswell

on bass and Elliot Gavin on guitar. We're a bit like Trigger from

'Only Fools & Horses' talking about his broom (that's if you are

old enough to remember!). Anyway, we think 30 years is an

achievement that we're all proud of.

30 Years Gone....

During their time together the band are honoured that

Led Zeppelin’s front-man, Robert Plant, has attended 

three of their gigs and John Bonham’s son, Jason,

even jammed with them on stage. It must surely also be

the best recommendation any band could receive and

assure Led Zeppelin fans apprehensive about

seeing The Fredz.

It's worth taking a camera with you, as you don’t know who could be

standing next to you. In the audience have been MAGNUM’s

front-man Bob Catley, WHITESNAKE’s guitarist Mel Galley.

Roy Wood legendary main man of THE MOVE & WIZZARD,

and SLADES Jimmy Lea.

The band were also invited by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page

to attend a charity event of which Jimmy is a patron.

They were thrilled to meet and chat with the legendary guitarist.

Also at the party were Roger Daltrey, Julian Lloyd Webber,

Leo Sayerand Formula One’s David Coultard. What a night !!

According to one of Kerrangs reader's polls, FRED ZEPPELIN

were among the top ten best live bands to see. Quite an

achievement, as at the time they were the only tribute

band listed in any category.

Fred Zeppelin are real fans and formed ‘The Fredz’ out

of their admiration and love of Led Zeppelin’s music.

As their name suggests the band don't take

themselves too seriously, they know the praise

belongs to Robert, Jimmy, John Paul Jones,

and Bonzo. And, the Fredz will still continue

with their tradition of honouring the music of

Led Zeppelin and not dressing up to imitate

them. Please keep in mind they are not a

cabaret style look-a-like act.
