A spokesperson for Kidderminster Town Hall described the night as "a show that will go down in history."

They said: "We’ve been tight lipped on this one for over a month… the relief is real."

The spokesperson added: "We announced the show with Mike Sanchez as part of the ‘Get Your Kicks on the A456’ book launch. We tried to get a date that fit between the saving grace tours so that there was a change Robert would be available to play. "

"We have known about his appearance for about 3 months, and kept it under wraps. Last night Mike played a 2 hour set, featuring Jeanie Vincent, Ricky Cool and Robert Plant. Robert played 8 songs including Rock & Roll by Led Zeppelin."

The rock legend performed the Led Zeppelin song 'Rock & Roll', to finish off his performance, the other seven songs performed by Plant were Blues covers.

Curtis Fudge from the venue said: “he was a real joy to have around, and another big name to add to our incredible list of performers in our first year. I’ve been working on this show for 6 months and it was a dream to see it materialise’

Sadie Owen, events manager said “It was an honour to have Mike and Robert play a sell out show in our venue, it was a really special evening”

Another of the special guests, blues singer Chloe Mogg wrote via Instagram "Last night was a very special one, we went to play a gig at Kidderminster Town Hall and somehow found ourselves supporting four absolute legends."

"Mike Sanchez, who then brought out some very special guests, Robert Plant, Jean Vincent and Ricky Cool."

She said it was "a genuinely surreal experience, and one we'll never forget."

"We're not coming down from this cloud for a long, long, long time."

There were only 500 people in attendance at the gig, who can now count themselves particularly lucky after getting to see the legendary Led Zeppelin front man perform.

The live performance came just one day after his 78th birthday, proving he has still got it.

Robert Plant is set to embark on his North American tour in September and October, which kicks off with a gig in St Louis, Missouri.
