Biography

Robert's musical journey was marked by significant milestones before his stint with Hobbstweedle, a pickup blues band formed in a nod to a gig at the esteemed West Midlands College Of Education. Prior to that, he held the esteemed position of frontman for The Band of Joy, a talented ensemble comprising Percy, John Bonham, Paul Lockey on bass, Chris Brown on keyboards, and Kevyn Gammond on guitar. As the band teetered on the cusp of securing a record deal, a tumultuous breakup ensued, leaving Robert to navigate a few blind alleys before ultimately joining the legendary Led Zeppelin. The rest, as they say, is history.
