A LED ZEPPELIN tribute band is set to perform in Wrexham this week.

Fred Zeppelin will be playing on Friday August 30 at The Rock Suite Cafe on Hill Street.

The band will be on stage from 9pm, tickets are £8 if bought in advance or £10 on the door.

A spokesperson for Fred Zeppelin said: “They are now celebrating their 26th year, and during their time together they have had the honour of Led Zeppelin’s front-man Robert Plant attending three of their gigs and John Bonham’s son Jason even jammed with them on stage.

“These things the band are very proud of. It must surely also be the best recommendation any band could receive, and also assure any Led Zeppelin fans apprehensive about seeing The Fredz.

“According to one of Kerrangs readers polls. Fred Zeppelin are among the top ten best live bands to see. Quite an achievement, as they were the only tribute band listed in any category.

“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, as well as Slade’s Jimmy Lea, who was the latest rock celebrity to experience a two-hour Fred Zeppelin gig.

“Fred Zeppelin were invited by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page to attend a charity event of which Jimmy is a patron. Kev (bass) and Blackie (drums) attended and were thrilled to meet and chat with the legendary guitarist. Also, at the party were Roger Daltrey, Julian Lloyd Webber, Leo Sayer and Formula One’s David Coultard. What a night.

“Fred Zeppelin are real fans and formed ‘The Freds’ out of their admiration and love of Led Zeppelin’s music. As their name suggests the band do not take themselves too seriously, they know the praise belongs to Robert, Jimmy, John Paul Jones, and Bonzo.”
