Talk and song from early days

This is the place to start, and this is the man to start the journey through Birmingham's music scene, past and present, with. From The Band of Joy, to the remenants of The Yardbirds, through, Led Zeppelin to The Priory of Brion, and thus to his current band, Strange Sensation, Robert Plant has been there, at the forefront, the familiar voice soaring through every song he sings, whether it be  traditional blues, traditional folk (yes it's true, click here to see Bob fronting Fairport Convention)
We'll be touching on all the phases of Plant's career, though most of the photographs will be of Bob as he is now, we, here, at Brum Beat feel, that enough has been written about Led Zeppelin, to last a life time or two, which is not a bad thing by any means, but there is no real need to add anything else. There will be a couple of pictures of course, and a couple of links, but there are other stages that need to be looked at too
