Led Zeppelin’s singer Robert Plant was seen jamming with his fans in a popular Aberdeen bar during an open mic night.
The music legend travelled to the north-east to perform with his new band Saving Grace at The Tivoli on Tuesday November 8.
Following the gig, the singer popped into Aberdeen bar Under The Hammer, on North Silver Street, for a drink. And to the delight of his fans, it happened to be the venue’s open mic night.

The band performed Ralph McTell’s I Bid You Goodnight, and Moby Grape’s It’s A Beautiful Day Today.
Under The Hammer said on Facebook: “It doesn’t happen very often that we get a visit from Rock ‘n’ Roll hall of famer and CBE but last night we were honoured by the presence of Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant.
“Robert and his new band mates joined us after their Saving Grace gig at Tivoli and got involved in our open mic session, delivering their ‘I bid You Goodnight’ song.
“What a night.”
A north-east man, who enjoyed The Tivoli gig, posted a video on Facebook of the band delivering a “bonus set”. One Aberdeen fan said in the comments that the “unexpected jamming session” must have been “terrific”, with other music lovers commenting it was “superb”, “fabulous” and “absolutely amazing”.
Formed in 2019, Saving Grace features Plant and newcomers Suzi Dian (vocals) and Oli Jefferson (percussion) and industry veterans Tony Kelsey (mandolin, baritone and acoustic guitar) and Matt Worley (banjo, cuatro and acoustic and baritone guitars).
The band are currently on their UK tour and will play the Perth Concert Hall later today. The gig is now completely sold-out.
English rock band Led Zeppelin, formed in London in 1968, is best known for their hits Stairway To Heaven, Rock and Roll, and Black Dog.
According to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, Led Zeppelin were “as influential” during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s.
One of the best-selling music artists of all time, they sold between 200 to 300 million units worldwide.
