Secret Robert Plant gig last night.
Have you ever really seen the Zeppelin local boy (local to me) unless you’ve seen him in a yurt playing his favourite old blues songs? pic.twitter.com/VhGpraCigA— Aurelius (@feralandfree) October 17, 2021
Saving Grace’s last performance was on July 29 in Buxton. The band was forced to cancel the last two shows of their summer tour after a member of their touring crew tested positive for Covid-19. They also had to cancel other concerts because of ongoing restrictions on live music.
Meanwhile, Plant has reunited with Alison Krauss for a new album titled “Raise The Roof”, which is slated for release on November 19 via Warner Music.
