ONE of the country's leading tribute bands, Fred Zeppelin, have a number of local gigs coming up in the next couple of months.

They'll be at Hewell Social Club in Redditch on September 27, the Marrs Bar in Worcester on October 25, and then at the Lickey End Club, Bromsgrove, on November 29, as well as several other Midland venues.

The band has even been paid the ultimate tribute of having Led Zeppelin's Rob Plant watching them three times in the audience - 'a major compliment' says the band.
