The Plant Boys Rule the Airwaves

If you're a fan of the singing Plant's, this could be your weekend. It kicks off tonight with Robert's son Logan, and his band, Sons of Albion. Performing from New Yorks  P.C. Richard and Son Theater, Q104.3 will be broadcasting the gig live.

More on Sons of Albion here.

Over 'ome, Logan's Dad Robert is having his night on BBC2 Saturday. At 10:15 tomorrow night, BBC2 is broadcasting a one-hour documentary on Plant, entitled By Myself:
Robert Plant discusses his musical journey from Stourbridge, the British blues boom, superstardom with Led Zeppelin in the 70s, to the Band of Joy album. He also looks at his work with The Honeydrippers and North African musicians, his reunion with Jimmy Page, and his pairing with Alison Krauss.

At 11:15, British TV viewers will get a re-broadcast of the Electric Proms show from the Roundhouse in London last weekend. At 12:15 Sunday morning, Plant does a half-hour show, Later.
Tracing Robert Plant's solo career from the early 90s via his appearances on Later... With Jools Holland. Through a mix of performance and interviews, the programme sees Robert reunited with Jimmy Page and a Moroccan orchestra, teaming up with Tom Jones and Solomon Burke on the Hootenanny, playing with former band Strange Sensation and also with Alison Krauss.

Now if only I can figure out how to listen to the radio in New York tonight, then catch TV shows in Britain tomorrow night.
