Robert Plant, best known as the legendary lead singer of Led Zeppelin, made a rare and humorous appearance in the British comedy Doreen: The Movie (2016), a film based on the popular Midlands character Doreen Tipton. In this offbeat mockumentary-style comedy, Plant plays himself in a cameo role, showing his lighter side and poking fun at his rockstar persona.

Before I grew into the world, developed an understanding of The Beatles and realised exactly who he was, he symbolised the ultimate hippie. […]

A British twang: Sculpting the perfect Rolling Stones country album

It was impossible for any American band to ignore the British invasion, no matter if they tried. As much as The Beach Boys may have been making their own symphonies at the same time The Beatles were rocketing up the charts, there’s a reason why Brian Wilson made sure to keep up to date on […]
