Robert Plant’s ‘secret gig’ in Mayfair
September 7, 2010 by Rob Powell
Rock legend, Robert Plant, was in Mayfair last week to play a ‘secret gig’ at a former church.
One Mayfair, formerly St Mark’s Church, in North Audley Street was the venue for the Led Zeppelin legend and his new Band of Joy.
Plant performed a number of tracks from his new album, also called ‘Band of Joy’.
The Daily Express said that the deconsecrated church was “still a fittingly spiritual setting for a set peppered with Gospel influenced tracks”.
The Independent’s reviewer commented that the Grade-I listed building makes the perfect venue for a secret gig by one of today’s rock aristocracy
Uncut Magazine said it was “interesting how comfortable Plant seems playing to a 200-strong crowd”, mostly made up of competition winners.
Hi Rob, I’m putting on a night of original music with my band and was wondering if you knew anyone else that would like to come along? the night would be enjoyed by anyone who likes bands such as “The Who” “Johnny Cash” “David Gray” “Mumford And Sons” “U2″ and many more. If you know anyone and would like to help promote the night, please ask them to join us on our facebook group and check out our music – http://www.myspace.com/danielspiller.
My band “Daniel Spiller And The Broken Record Project” will be playing a special free gig at T Chances on the Saturday the 25th of September from 9.30 till 11.30pm. It’s a free gig, good people, party spirit and very cheap drink. Only 5 minutes walk from Seven Sisters Tube station (only 4 stops from central London on the victoria line) here is a link to the venue on Google Maps. Anyone is very welcome to join us for a night of genuinely good music. Each month will feature a new guest artist to.
