Saving Grace*

Fanfare / 10th December, 2021

Christmas harmonies from Robert Plant and his blue grass band
The 73-year- returned after a 50 year Ipswich absence when Led Zep performed at St Matthew’s Baths Hall on November 15, 1971.

Saving Grace also feature some expert musicians, Suzi Dan on vocals, Oli Jefferson on percussion, Tony Kelsey on mandolin, baritone and acoustic guitars, and Matt Worley, on banjo, cuatro (a Latin American string instrument), acoustic and baritone guitars.

Tricky songs to deliver especially the acapella at the end And We Bid You Goodnight which was marvellous
