Whole Lotta Led

Whole Lotta Led: Bourne Corn Exchange

Music is a funny old thing. With a single note, a melody, a roaring guitar solo or a mountain moving vocal, music can elevate the senses far beyond the point of those little hairs standing on end at the back of your neck. You know the feeling. We've all been there one time or another.

When we sing along to our favourite song or worship a band or singer we're not just enjoying ourselves we're (sort of) our own little tribute band. We've taken their music and made it our own. Hero worship you could call it. And Whole Lotta Led are the truest most gut wrenching, body rocking band out there representing the music of Led Zeppelin I have ever witnessed.

These are no Stars in Their Eyes look-a-likes, thankfully, but fully paid members of the rock fraternity who love their music raw, deep, emotive (and add lots more superlatives here) type of band!

Whole Lotta Led

Without the sturdy bass and rhythm section lashing the ropes down on the good ship Led the shot-blasting vocals and machine gun guitarist would fall into the waves of the audience snapping at their feet.

Whole Lotta Led packed out the venue and they soaked up the crowds energy accompanying them along to every song they played and wow did they play their hearts out. I must admit that I am a Led Zeppelin fan and thankfully all the classic hits were there; Whole Lotta Love, Dazed and Confused, Communication Breakdown and of course Stairway To Heaven.

I was only 2 years old in 1980 when Led Zeppelin quit the music game following drummer John Bonham's death. They vowed that the band could not continue without his engine driving the group. The only time I've seen performances of them is on DVD. I'm just truly thankful that Whole Lotta Led are keeping the music and feeling of the original band alive for those who did not share in the experience of seeing Led Zeppelin the first time round.

If you get the chance don't even think twice about seeing these guys perform.
