Boot Led Zeppelin

About Me


Boot Led Zeppelin have been (ever so quietly) building a reputation for being the "Ultimate Led Zeppelin Tribute Band", over the last 5 years.
Robert, Jimmy or Jonesy have never seen us, so we can't lay claim to that.
However when you come to see us play, you will get your moneys worth and more.
Over the last 18 months we've packed concert halls in England, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, and recently Gozo (A Maltese Island that certainly knows how to rock).
Here's the deal:
No Wigs!
No old rockers cashing in before arthritis sets in!
Just young, dumb, and full of.....erm!
Go to
www.boot-led-zeppelin.co.uk
to read the reviews of some very happy people. And realise why we are, truly,the
"Ultimate Tribute To The Best Rock And Roll Band Ever"
And if you think it's too good to be true then come along to a gig.
You will not be disappointed.
A few thousand people will testify already!!!!!!
Here's a celeb quote if you need convincing:
"Go on Boot Led! The nearest thing i have heard to the lords of rock. They got me so close to my true fantasy of hearing Led Zep live. You seriously wont get any closer than this!"

Influences: This is irrelevant as a collective, as it's obvious that we all love Zep.
However if you want to read about personal influences then each members site ("myspace" or not) will be listed soon enough!
Every track (be it video or audio) that is posted on this site will have been mixed by:
Mat Martin (BLZ Drummer)
and/or
Declan Cunningham ("Fat Wah" check our friends).
Sounds Like: Led Zeppelin..........What else am I supposed to put here........."Tight Fit" ????

Anyway, here are some reviews, mostly from the audience and not from the hacks (which is what counts I reckon):

"Please please please come and rock Cambridge again. It was the best night out i've had in years. I loved every minute of it and can't wait to see U play again. I especially loved Black Dog, you played it better than Pagey."
Claire T.

"You lovely lot! You were amazing & so, so accurate, what a gig, it lifted my spirit off the ground as well as all of Cambridge! Really enjoyed it, didn't want it to finish, really want to go again which I can't say for a lot of tribute bands I have seen. Robert "Luke" Plant has got one of the sexiest voices I have ever heard in my life whether speaking or singing. I was the woman yelling for When The Levee Breaks. Amazing. I still cannot believe how good it was."
cheers
Claire M.

"I just wanted to write and say that Saturday night was fabulous!!! Having only first heard of Led Zeppelin after John Bonham died, I knew I'd never get to experience them live, but Saturday was wonderful!! Everything looked and sounded perfect, and to hear 'Kashmir' live was a dream come true. I'm 6 months' pregnant, and the bump loved it as well - she now recognises 'Rock and Roll' from the past few weeks.
Thanks again for a brilliant evening!"
