Wrote... Looking forward to getting back on the road soon. Seems we've been away far too long. Nice run up to Christmas and then yet another little break! I'm losing the will to live here!
Wrote... In case anyone was thinking of coming to see the Fred Zeppelin at THE SANCTUARY nest week, 19th Sept, I have to let you know it has closed down. Gigs off and, as far as I know so are all the other bookings for Sanctuary.
Wrote... Goes without saying - fantastic musicians - and great entertainers! Hope you don't mind this related plug - On 18th September, Crossroads Blues Club (just up the road from The Roadhouse) have our First Year Anniversary gig featuring bluesman Perry Foster - when he formed his Delta Blues Band, Perry recruited CHRIS WOOD and a very young ROBERT PLANT on vocals and washboard! Some great history here for Zep fans who love the Blues!

Wrote... Here we go again.... last gig for me was the Wolvo Civic..... will see you at the Flowerpot in Derby... complete with a couple of Fredz virgins... yep there are still virgins in derby (both blokes in their 40s!!!!!)
Wrote... Saw the Fredz at 'The Wardens' in Kenilworth earlier this month. I was extremeley lucky to get tickets to Led Zep at the 02 on Dec 10th and they were truly fantastic so I thought I was going to have a bit of a giggle seeing a tribute band. Not so - they were really really good and I had a great night. I can't wait to see them again and I am gutted that that the Fletch gig has been cancelled. Would definitely recommend this band as great musicians and performers who have captured the spirit of Led Zep.Fantastic!!!!!
Wrote... Went with pals to th eRoadhouse gig on 19th Jan. Awsome - thanks!
Usually see you at the Hibernian which is always good but last night was best of the lot so far. Great mix - great "no Quarter"
Really enjoyed the gig.
Wrote... thanks for another great gig at the civic wolves had a fantastic night looking forward to the oxford arms gig
just one more thing
its nobody fault but tracie
Wrote... What a great gig!! Went to the civic on sat just as expected absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! Thanku for another amazing gig and the set list very much appreciated! Will be seeing you soon @ the oxford in newcastle (can't wait)
Wrote... What a gig last nite (Wolves Civic Hall)!!! Wow! Iv seen a few gigs but u rival anyone iv seen in terms of musical ability! See u at the rock cafe in feb and Madison Square Gardens in March! :)
Wrote... Went to the Civic gig last night, absolutely fantastic. Really enjoyed the support too, Sack Sabbath were superb. If you aren't sure whether to see the Fredz, believe me, get to the next gig they do!!!!!
Wrote... Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the show last night! You are the biz - Keith you are the top banana.x
ps can't believe Rob didn't recognise you Steve.
Wrote... What a bloody great night at The Robin! Thanks everyone who came and made it so special. Last one for 07 at Coxs Yard this weekend. Looking forward to that. Merry Christmas.
Wrote... Great Gig at Oxford Arms, Shame it was next to last one ( there ) You guys should seriously be doing bigger venues?? How about Victoria Hall in Stoke??? My mate saw guns n roses at MEN arena last year and said you were better!!! ( all round entertainment value ) How`s that for a compliment. Cant get over how you`ve got Rob plants stage movement down to a tee.
Excellent and highly recommended
See you at the oxford next year.
cheers
Wrote... Thank's Guy's for a fantastic night at Fletch's its great to hear Zeppelin played at its best. Ps Stevie Gale eat 3 shreddies next time mate.........ha ha
Wrote... Another excellent evening's entertainment at the Limelight. Superb bunch of musicians on display. Can't wait for next visit in the New Year.
Nice to meet "Mr Plant" - I too was really annoyed that the "Arena" programme left out one of the best tribute bands on the planet.
Thanks again guys for a brilliant night!
Wrote... Just wanted to say thanks for a brill evening on Thurs 16th August at The Robin 2 (there with my partner who got picked out to show off the t-shirt - you made her night!)
Highlights for me were "Since I Been Loving You" which is (IMHO) probably one of the best songs ever written, blues or otherwise - hearing it live by you guys made the hairs stand up on the back of my aging neck - magical.
See y'all soon
Wrote... Hi! Guys,
seen you loads and looking forwrd to the next time. To celebrate 15 years, do an outdoor gig at Conkers, just outside Swadlincote. It should attract the Burton, Nuneaton, Coventry and Derby fans as a minimum. The venue holds 500+ and is great. There is a bar, but people can take in their own food and drink and really party. I can help with details if you think this could be a goer as I live nearby. Steve, I could pick you up from work and we could go? And, lets film the gig and make it available for sale like the CD's. You could do a set, rest, do acoustics then a finale over 4hrs or so? It would be a great night. If not, just go somewhere and play for 15 hours! Cheers! Graham
Wrote... What, is there only me here these days???
15 years of Fred Zeppelin next year. Apart from givin' it a rest (no way), anyone got any ideas how we should celebrate?
Wrote... You have always been brilliant i have saw you from near day one Blackie and Rob the first singer oh well c u .Ps try GREAT WHITE GREAT ZEPPELIN BRIL ALBUM FROM 1996
Wrote... you guys were fantastic at the roadhouse, being to young for the real zep, seeing you guys was as close as it will ever get and it was the best gig i have ever been too just mind blowin
Wrote... Yet another Brilliant gig at the Rock Cafe 2000, Stourbridge.
Loved the acoustic numbers espeicially Gallows Pole.
Plus the Whole Lotta Love featuring a bit of Boogie Chillin (well i think it was)
Finishing off with a brill version of Kashmir. Keep it up!
Wrote... We have seen you many times at the Hibernian and the Roadhouse. Please, please, please play at Glastonbudget this year. You are all FAB and would be the best band there.
Wrote... Fourth time seeing the Fredz for me. Worcester Marrs Bar last Friday night was a blast and the guys were their usual top quality. The accoustic set was a first for me. It was great, although I think they need to figure out how to get the electric guitar in, along with bass and drums, for the latter parts. I'll see you again the next time I come over.
Wrote... i had a great 44(opps!) i mean 34 birthday last night at the hibernian the band was fantastic but what happened there was no kashmere keep on rockin xxxx
Wrote... WAS AWESOME (as they say nowadays)!!!
Had a great time. Couldn't get over how good the Hendrix tribute was - quite a hard act to follow! I saw the original at The Isle of Wight in 1970 and haven't seen anyone playing his stuff since.
Brilliant night out and loved the venue too.
Wrote... just great man...remember watchin the say 1st hour..u got me rockin,so drank more and then plasterd..after that its a blur..u are my birthday night out at HIBS at selly park on 3rd nov so blast it out in the name of love.well done
Wrote... Saw you at the Limelight on Fri 13 Oct 2006 and wanted to say thank you for a fantastic show, really loved every minute. Look forward to your next gig at the Limelight.
Wrote... Hi guys,
Just wanted to let you know that over the last 10 yrs or so seeing you perform at least once or twice a year my friends and I agree that last nights gig at the Robin has got to be one of your best performances.
Whatever it is your drinking …. Keep guzzling it down!! Take no quarter …. And find that f…ing bridge!!

You Rock!

I went to a great gig
Wrote... Awesome gig on Friday
Just to say we had a great time at the Waterfront on Friday night - hopefully you'll keep me posted if you go there again
Think it was even better than last time - one friend who came and who's been living in San Fransisco for the past 20 years or so (and I hadn't seen him since 1993!) thought the band was great and bought a T shirt so you'll be famous in Redwood City, California.
I'm planning to try and get to the Nuneaton Nags Head on 22nd July - not as scenic as the Waterfront, but it's the music that counts!
Wrote... I am currently gettign some information together about Tribute Bands in the West Midlands. I would like to get in touch with one of the band members re your band and the possibility of being featured on BBC Midlands Today. Would you kindly get in touch. Thanks and kind regards

Wrote... Have been to 2 do's so far. Better than my high expectations. I've only seen LZ in film (The song remains the same)and wasn't impressed (ooops, and I am a fan y'know!) Anyway, Fredz are better, more fun, fantastic music & singing (!) and I hope to get to more gigs! THANK YOU.
Wrote... Just to say I had a great time at the Waterfront on Friday - couldn't see Whole Lotta Led on Saturday at Bham Academy as it was postponed so can't make a comparison. Anyway, I'm just glad there are some great people keeping the music alive (sounds very corny - but you know what I mean)
Listening to the albums will always be great, but not the same as a live gig
Thanks
Wrote... I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Hibernian show on Saturday. This was my third time seeing the band. I live in New York and I always try to catch the band whenever I come over. I brought my brother to the show this time and he was completely blown away with the quality. He, like me, is a serious Zep fan. Not sure when the next time will be, but I will certainly see you again whenever it is. It was nice talking with Steve in the bar before the show.
Wrote... Thought the Hibernian gig on 28/01/2006 was very good. Better than the one on or around 09/12/2005 - I know you had problems with the sound that night. Thought Over The Hills & Since I've Been ... came across really well. Who was that nutter at the front who you let loose with the mic??!!
Wrote... Hey guys. Me and the boys had fun supporting you on Nov 26. Watching you was more fun though. You're fantastic! Went to see Robert Plant in December, Steve you're just like him! I got this signed picture of 'the strange sensation' from him too! Best of luck for next friday and I hope to come! Cya xx
Wrote... sorry its late guys but i just wanted to say that i thouroughly enjoyed the triple headerheader at the wulfrun, gr8 night alround. i have seen u guys 7 times this yearnow and u still amaze me. C u at the rock cafe on the 26th for ur 10th anniversary with the band steve.
Wrote... well I've seen you the 3 times now you've amazed and inspired me every single time (to go home and stumble through a few zep songs on guitar.) Last night at the Wulfrun was amazing Free at last and are you experienced were also amazing. so that makes for an all round amazing gig!!! Thanks guys I hope to see you soon youll have to get the Pink Fraud and Limehouse Lizzy guys down and do some kind of "classic rock fest" 5 amazing tributes to 5 amazing bands! :D

Wrote... WOW I went to your gig last night and I LOVED it! I had so much fun and Steve was so lovely and made sure the younger gals had a great time too. Even 14 year olds can have a great time at this sort of gig, probably the best I've been to. Thanks a lot
Wrote... Popped my 'Fred cherry' at Cox's Yard last night - s'truth what CAN I say?!! Had heard you guys were good, but the band easily surpassed my expectations. BTW What's the crack re the gig on 23rd Dec? All mention of it gone off the site(s) - hope that doesnt mean it's already sold out?? Goddarn, That's MY chrimbo ruined if it is... :(

Wrote... As aging rockers we've seen the great bands live back in the 70's and now enjoy seeing the tribute bands. I've seen Whole Lotta Led 5 times and had a great time each gig. I've heard good things about you, when can you come to this neck of the woods???
Wrote... Just got back from an incredible gig at the Marrs Bar. Wow. Rock and Roll indeed. First saw you at Droitwich Rugby Club 5 years ago (when I was 17) and my ambition is still to sing a song with you. Keep rocking!
Wrote... Hi teve and the rest of you boys, by the looks of it you are still doing a great job. i promise to come to another gig very soon, was gonna come and see you at the nags, but i got too pissed and fell asleep at my mates, ha ha. By the way steve Donna say's HI YA.

Wrote... Hi, its Lois. The singer from State Of Mind (the band that supported you at the Rock Cafe). You were absolutely fantastic on friday! All of us can't wait to come and watch you play again. The drummer's Dad asked the Rock Cafe if we could support you again. If that's okay! Very impressive that you have guys from the US coming to see you, by the way. See you! PS, I'm learning Stairway to Heaven! I was so disappointed I couldn't sing it with you because I know knew the first fw lines...
Wrote... Keith Jenkins taught me Accounting at North Birmingham College 1994-5, and it was from then i got into the Fredz. i've been away and haven't seen them for a while, but now i've come across this website, i'll be watching out for gigs. if they're half as good as they were 10 years ago, they truely are the greatest led zep tribute around.
Wrote... hey guys i met steve your singer in my dads pub, i served him and he took the mick cos im bad at maths. i chated to him and he told me about the band and site im on it now and u guys rock!
Wrote... Brill night at the Robin with Are You Exper'd. As entertainin as ever, love the way the Fredz rib each other. Seen them loads now over the years and think they just get better and better.

Your guitarist is ultra cool (where did you get that "Alter Bridge T-shirt". Great band. P.s. Are you single.Please let me have your email as I've got some wicked pics of you on my digital......
Wrote... Fellahs! why aren't you doing any gigs up north? your reputation is here and you aren't!! you're leaving a lot of Teessiders without the chance of seeing you recreate the greatest band in history; in the style that even robert plant endorses! i would agree to flyer all over Teesside for you if you just come and do a great big gig!Get in touch! Andy
Wrote... hi everyone, thanks for a fabulous night at the lickey end club on 1st april. the band just gets better, ebery song was just like the real thing. thanks too to kev who took the time to speak to my son David about his bass playing, his Zepp songs are coming along well! Ive heard robert plant drinks in the ******** and is he ok to bother him to sign my cds? NOT !! - Led zepp in particular brings back so many memories of my past especially the 2nd album (wont go into it too much some of it quite rude, well! not at the time) so coming to see you all play is a real bonus , Keep going guys youre all brillant with love Juli

Wrote... A fantastic band and a great night out. This lot can really rock.Amazing to hear the old favourites - songs that have been going through my head on and off for the last 35 years -played live.I'd had a few bevvies, but they sounded note perfect to me.All of the favourites were there, but Lemon Song, Bring It On Home, and Dazed and Confused, were the highlights for me.The only track I missed was Battle For Evermore. Be great to hear it live.Great stuff. I'll be going again.Phil.

Wrote... Trent bridge gig wos banging,tabs are still ringing the next day, but well worth it. going back for more next week at the Hibernian in Birmingham,(and yes, thay are worth the 120 mile round trip to see this frist class band.)best wishes, brud.
Wrote... Hi Steve and the guys. Just a brief note to say "thankyou"for a fantastic gig at Bilston last week. We travelled home from the Channel Islands for a Christmas with friends and family, and we made sure that we had tickets for the show. Wouldn't miss it for the world.Thanks for taking the time to have a photo with us both, the snaps were really good. Unfortunately my 8yo daughter managed to delete them 2 days later, love her, bless her!!.It would be great if you could play a couple of gigs in the Channel Islands some day. We will be back in the UK next year and look forward to seeing you then. Happy New Year to you all. Nigel and Cate Chescoe.
Wrote... As only really being a Led fan for a just over a year i have wanted to see a concert and seing as i couldnt go back in time this was the best next thing, cheers for a great night out
Wrote... Fantastic gig on Friday guys. Can't tell you what a good time we had - again and again and again!! Can't wait to see you all on Saturday at the Tackeroo. Rock on and keep the Zep thing alive. You guys are amazing!! Love the beard Blackie and Kev love the beard too (unintentional or not?)Love to all Den XXXXX
Wrote... Would love to come and see you at your next Lickey End gig....would my Led Zep mad son (under 18 and non drinking)be allowed into this venue???BEST REGARDS, MARK.
Wrote... Hi Guys,Just a quick note to let you know what I thought another LZ trib band "Lets Zep". In all fairness they were quite good especially the drummer. The vocalist was a total poser though and couldn't really sing. Guitarist was slick but had difficulties escaping cliche. Their bassist was quite good too and he played keyboard and foot pedal bass so it opened a few other songs up for them.The "concert" was at Oakengates T H and was a seated affair making for an extremely sterile atmosphere. On balance, although most of the show was very professional and musically acurate I prefer a more intimate gig with that raw edge (complement!) and crowd interaction.You Win Guys!!see you soonneil
Wrote... Dear band,My name is Endaf Jones and I'm studying an MA in 'Television Production' at Chester College, Cheshire. I'm writing to you about a documentary I'm hoping to produce and then pitch (try to sell!!) to Granada next year. The half-hour programme will report on the success of a variety of tribute bands and what it means to be part of such entertainment. Filming will need to take place early next year. Some quick interviews and permission to film during one of your shows would be greatly appreciated. Interviewing could be done before a show, or on a separate occasion, whatever works best for you. Either way, I'll be sure not to take up too much of your time. So what do you think? Interested? Let me know if you think we can arrange something,Thank you very much for your time,Endaf Jones
Wrote... what be a private message? apart from that I saw you guys last nite at the nags head and if you read these I was at the front of the stage wearing a beige coat and leather trousers lol. there were lots of sexy people apart from the band, especially a certain guy in an ac/dc top also at the front!
Wrote... you guys rock! seen you twice now,the wulfrun and marrs bar, lookin forward to stourbridge and bromsgrove gigs, thanks for shout to 'the birthday girl!' nice one!
Wrote... Hey, we went to see you last nite at the robin! After persuading my uncle to take us, we got there! Really, really enjoyed the concert!! Was quite scary being 2 16 yr old girls in a pub with loads of huge men! But the music was so impressive, it was worth it! Being taken to see you guys back stage was even better! You made our week guys!!! With any luck we can come 2 the stourbridge gig! Love you loads guys, yr ace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx
Wrote... Hey You LotWas particularly chuffed with your recent performance at the Wulfren. Maybe because you played my most favoured tracks – my thanks – or maybe because you were just outstanding. Am very much looking forward being entertained in Crewe on 22 October (with the same playlist please?). X
Wrote... Heya! I was at the first gig at Straford Cox's Yard and it was completely awesome! I loved it got the t-shirt and cd! Most excellent! Couldn't remove myself from the front row! major lovin of Fred Zep! xx
Wrote... Last night the Fredz took the Wulfren Hall by storm. These guy's know how to deliver the goods the crowd were rocking from the word go, Blackie's just amazing with those two sticks pounding away to a nice solid beat nice one Blackie. Hey Kev's in their cool as ever pretty neat bass solo Kev, lets see more. Keith well what can i say its all been said before just amazing. Steve Gale firstclass frontman sound 10/10. Need i say more get to a Fred gig if its the last thing you do, let's face it if its good enough for Mr Plant it's got to be good enough for us all..........Bring it on Fredz......Hey the support Pink Fraud excellent band.... See ya
Wrote... urm im gonna go and see you guys on the 24th of september so dnt let me down and im a huge fan of page so im glad to hear all this great news to do with him altho iI as pissed of when I heard about his stuff being bootlegged by that bastard! happy jamming folks and bonzo really needs to grow his hair!
Wrote... well i heard alot about you and as a big fan of led zeppelin thought id check when your playing. Cant wait for the gig, and think the downlaods sound awesome. Andrew
Wrote... Hi Freds,Went to see whole lotta led or should it be whole lotta ... Rest of mail removed - we don't condone slagging / comparisions, we support the philosophy of all live music
Wrote... I have seen this band twice and both times it was amazing. I am now in a new band called Mojo Stripe which is influenced by Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, Ocean Colour Scene, The Cream and The Who.Please Visit the website.Our Drummers brought his Ludwig drum kit off Freds Drummer.
Wrote... schoffields 11th june. First time saw band. Was a little uncertain what to expect. Then first note was struck of communication breakdown what followed was an absolutley superb night out. Will do again soon
Wrote... I was just wondering whether you would be performing in solihull anytime soon as the red lion/bar co had shut down and become some posh restaurant, as i have now convert my mate's to led zeppelin fans and i have told them how close you guys are to the real thing.
Wrote... Just a quick thanks from The HMV band after supporting you a couple of weeks ago at the Haygate in Wellington (Telford). We all had a great evening but had to pop off before you guys finished (Colette, our drummer, turns into a pumpkin at 12 o'clock or something) so didn't have a chance to say what a great show you put on even despite my comments about covers of Stairway...Thanks for getting Colette up during that number, I think it made her evening!Hope to see you soon.
Wrote... June 11 you're at Schofields but the Hare n Hounds in Cov has you advsertised as well, I'm confused (doesn't take much)

Wrote... Hi Freds, went to see Whole Lotta Led tonight, great show, enjoyed it, but mate not a patch on you - not trying to diss anybody my preference is the Freds {Get yourself to Liberties in Middlesboro, I've told everybody what you're like} The crowd went crazy for this band but I've seen the best {THE FREDS}

Wrote... Hi Steve
Wow what can I say. Had such a fantastic time at the Convention on Saturday. Great to see such a lot of money raised. You guys just get better and better - don't know how you do it. I have never been so blown away. Your ability as a band is phenonominal and plus all you guys are so nice. Never give this up it would be such a waste. We were there from 3pm onwards and the whole day was a success - you guys were the icing on the cake. Rock on you guys. I was talking to some other people in the crowd who were also from Ilkeston
- so we were not alone. See you all very soon - have to had my Fredz fix!!!! Kevin really looked as if he was having a good time by the way, he never stopped smiling - not that the rest of you don't smile - he just usually strikes me as being the quiet guy - I could be wrong of course!!
Love to all Den XX

Wrote... Just wanted to say how great you all were on Friday night at the Kirk Hallam Social Club.
Must have been good for Steve to be performing in front of his "home crowd". Saw you at Coalville Vic pub recentlly and Ilkeston last time round and you just get better if that is at all possible.
As a tribute band you are all awesome. I met up there with the lads from Rainbow Rising, good mates of mine - (Mark the lead singer, his girlfriend Rachael and Mick the drummer) on Friday who thought you were brilliant too. Lets hope they too can get a gig there, the venue was not bad despite the gremlins that attacked your set on Friday ( which incidentally made not a scrap of difference to the night as live music sometimes has its ups and downs).
We shall all look forward to seeing you at the Flowerpot in March. Keep up
the brilliant work and try and get back to Ilkeston soon.
Best regards Den X

Wrote... Hi Guys, Speaking as a recent Fredz convert I'd like to say a big thank you for the Rock Cafe gig on Friday 16th Jan. You were all brilliant. I've seen many great bands at that venue and you're performance was not only one of the best but also the best received which just goes to show the enduring appeal of Ledz AND how well you do it justice.
Thanks for playing acoustic numbers such as Gallows Pole and Tangerine and thank you for Thank You. You guys are stars and you keep the magic alive.
I've met Rob Plant on a number of occasions but sadly I'm too overawed to even look at him properly let alone remind him he's the best.
What's the story with the Led Zep convention in April at the Rock Cafe? It mentions guest appearances, is the man himself likely to be there?
Respect and thanks, Jill

Wrote... Guys. A big thank you from Gill and I for a great day and night at the Rock Cafe. Excellent atmosphere, great performance, both acoustic and electric. I was particularly chuffed to hear "Ten Years Gone", and to see that Keith plays it the same as I try to - maybe we're both wrong!! I think "In my Time of Dying" was the first time you had played this live?? In that case, top marks!!! Gill now also has a T shirt, so more money into your huge bank accounts!
We are bringing more friends along to the Marrs Bar gig on 7 March, including a couple from Kent, so we look forward to seeing you again there.
Regards, Dave and Gill Evans, Knightwick, Worcs.
PS - We also found a great Indian restaurant in Stourbridge, so a top-notch day all round.

With regards to the gig 18/04/02 at the Robin R & B club Fantastic performance definitely does them credit made good with the fact the sound was excellent,I would have loved to have heard Battle of evermore especially when the bassist got his mandolin out for the crowd i thought we were gonna have it never mind i can imagine its a nightmare to sing unless you've been astrated. Just thought i'd drop you a line to say how much i thoroughly enjoyed the night very professional nice and relaxed on stage all the key ingredients for a top night. Thank you Mat

Hi Fredz, What a brilliant night on Friday at the Lickey End Club, after a really awesome heavy start (don't you just love custard pie)you went on to dish out your usual mix of Zeppelin magic. Keith Jenkins held us in amazement as per usual, looking forward to the next one. Might bring the kids next time, to show em, Papa Roach, Limp Biscuit etc. ain't got nothing on you guys.
Keep on Groovin, and on and on Groovin, See you again, soon, Jacqui (Dark haired lady, showing her midriff, very hot evening, in more ways than one)

Wrote... 5th May 2001 - Kellys, Leamington Spa While searching for Rock tribute bands on the Internet I came across your Web site and although being a fan of Led Zep, I hadn't heard of Fred Zep.
Even living local to "Kellys", this was my first visit to that Pub for 8 years. It hadn't changed a bit. I understand some of you found it tricky to find, I can believe that. And "MIND THAT BEAM". Although I have only seen Led Zep live on video ( in the early seventies I would of only have been Ten, don't think I would of got into one of the gigs) this was a live experience that I'm glad I didn't miss. So much so that I shall be at the Coventry gig at The Hare & Hounds. Purchased a T-shirt, wanted a brass badge also but non-available, maybe next time ? Noticed Keith's headwear had the same print as my guitar strap. See you next time.
Cheers. Tony.

is i have seen and heard the next best thing. Oh if you ever need a support band or just in case blackie gets hurt (hopefully not) I have a band which have played venus like the Robin 2 we play our own material. Oh and i play the drums so look out BONZO hahahaha.
