Aftershow News: 12th October 2012

10pm to 1am.The UK premiere of Led Zeppelin DVD "Celebration Day" at Hammersmith Apollo,London. This was a proper party for sure as Led Zep have invited a huge crowd of 300 or 400 folks to the circle bar at this venue.A full free bar except champers and they have brought in two cocktail bars with their own staff from outside caterers. I got stuck in to the cocktails and JD n cokes. Huge Led Zeppelin logos behind the bars. Some snacks too.A dj playing a perfect mix of 1960s and 1970s gems to get some folks dancing. Most of the guests from the show turn up except Paul McCartney.So we get Julian Lennon,Serge from Kasabian,Bobby Gillespie and other Primal Scream members,John Squire from The Stone Roses,djs Bob Harris and Mark Ellen,photographer Ross Halfin,Nick Mason and Paulo Nutini. All three members of Led Zep turn up.Robert and Jimmy have their personal security guys so John Paul Jones is a bit more friendly so i got a photo with him(thanks to Iggy for taking it). Robert and Jimmy very wary of signing stuff these days as they think it will all end up on ebay. They all stayed for at least an hour. It really was a great night.
