Return
to Reading
Great to see so many familiar faces in Reading, thanks
for your incredible reaction, especially to the 'new
guys'.
Sorry about the couple of technical glitches, hope it
didn't spoil your enjoyment too much. See you soon.

"It's great to see that
the band has not only survived losing two members but
seems to be re-energised."
Ian Walker 29.4.12
"Saw you guys last night
at Banbury.
Absolutely brillant. Great set, one of
the best (if not the best) gig I’ve been to in
recent years.
Thanks for a gig to remember."
Scott Bedding 28.4.12
"Last night was the 12th
time I've seen you and you've never sounded better.
The band sounds like it's been together for years, great
energy,
great sound ... we salute you! "

Unlike the majority of bands on the
tribute circuit, Whole Lotta Led are a sound-a-like as opposed
to a
look-a-like tribute band. They believe that the music comes
first and wearing wigs and costumes can distract from what
they are trying to achieve - which is to play some of the
best music ever written.
Whole Lotta Led were originally formed
as No Quarter in 1993 playing a wide variety of rock standards,
original compositions as well as the odd Led Zeppelin number.
Audience reaction to the Led Zeppelin
material in their set
was such that in January 1996 the band decided to play exclusively
Led Zeppelin numbers and changed their name to WHOLE LOTTA
LED.
Originally playing local clubs and pubs,
the band soon progressed to the major rock venues (some of
which Led Zeppelin themselves played) touring all over the
UK
and Europe.
With the band becomine increasingly in
demand, Whole Lotta Led turned professional in January 2001,
thus becoming the UK's ONLY full time tribute to Led Zeppelin
and are now considered
by many to be one of the UK's top tribute bands.
WHOLE LOTTA LED regularly play two and
a half hour sets
and perform approximately 100 concerts a year to enthusiastic
crowds.
New generations are continually getting
involved in the
Led Zeppelin experience. Audiences at WHOLE LOTTA LED gigs
can span four generations from six to sixty and for most it
is the first opportunity of seeing and hearing Led Zeppelin's
music performed live.
The bands aim is to reproduce the classic Zep songs with the
same enthusiasm, excitement and passion that the original
band created.
The band have also been very active
in raising funds for
The ABC Trust, a charity founded by Jimmy Page's wife to help
under privileged children in Brazil, the involvement with
the charity eventually led to a meeting with Led Zeppelin's
legendary guitarist Jimmy Page who has given the band his
blessing and wished them all the best.
