Summary

This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we welcome a true giant of music, Robert Plant.


Guy and Gary join Robert at his house to discuss his incredible career and his new album ‘Saving Grace’ which is out now. 

The album was 6 years in the making and Robert talks about the process, the band, and the songs that make up this collection. 

He also talks about the early days of Led Zeppelin, his commitment to finding, recording and releasing music unlike anything he's made before and his UK dates in December.
