Robert Plant performs in village hall
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 26 July 2011
This is nice. Robert Plant performed in a community hall in Monmouth earlier this month. The surprise gig was part of a tribute show for Pat Moran, the engineer on Plant’s first solo album, who died from a rare form of dementia, known as Pick’s Disease, earlier this year.
One attendee told the BBC: “It was amazing – he’s a rock god and he was playing in a village hall. It was a real honour to be there and he chatted with the audience afterwards”.
Moran’s brother Brian, who organised the show said: “It was very kind of Mr Plant to join in; Pat would have been very proud. Mr Plant was even kind enough to sign a T-shirt which will be auctioned on eBay this week”.
The event itself raised £1500 for the Pick’s Disease Support Group.
