Venue Information
Approx. capacity: 700
The Robin 2 in Bilston is an excellent live music venue with a capacity of 700, and draws appreciative crowds to see some unexpected big names, local bands and tribute acts. At the front of the club, Noddy's Bar - named after the Slade frontman - is an excellent place to meet for a drink before the gig. The Robin provides a refreshing alternative for those who like to listen to good live music at a reasonable price. The Robin 2 is unique in the fact that it is also a hotel. The Robin 2 hotel has been inundated with bookings since it's opening in May 2008. The 500,000 pounds hotel is aimed at giving concert-goers the chance to enjoy a drink and have a bed nearby for convenience. The old building next to the Mount Pleasant music venue was gutted and transformed into the new attraction as part of a 12 week renovation project. The hotel was built during celebrations to mark the 10th anniversary of the music venue. Each of the eight sound-proofed rooms are fitted out with en-suite bathroom, tea and coffee machines and digital televisions.

During this time they have had the honour of Led Zeppelin’s front-man Robert Plant attending three of their gigs and John Bonham’s son Jason even jammed with them on stage. These things the band are very proud of. It must surely also be the best recommendation any band could receive, and also assure any Led Zeppelin fans apprehensive about seeing The Fredz.
According to one of Kerrangs readers polls. FRED ZEPPELIN are among the top ten best live bands to see. Quite an achievement, as they were the only tribute band listed in any category.
Its worth taking a camera with you, as you don’t know who could be standing next to you. In the audience have been MAGNUM’s front-man Bob Catley, Roy Wood legendary main man of THE MOVE & WIZZARD, and SLADES Jimmy Lea was the latest rock celebrity to experience a two-hour Fred Zeppelin gig.
Fred Zeppelin were invited by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page to attend a charity event of which Jimmy is a patron. Kev (bass) and Blackie (drums) attended and were thrilled to meet and chat with the legendary guitarist. Also at the party were Roger Daltrey, Julian Lloyd Webber, Leo Sayer and Formula One’s David Coultard. What a night !!
The four members of Fred Zeppelin are real fans, and formed ‘The Freds’ out of their admiration and love of Led Zeppelin’s music. As their name suggests the band do not take themselves too seriously, they know the praise belongs to Robert, Jimmy, John Paul Jones, and Bonzo
BULLITSTORM
BullitStorm are a hard rock / metal band that like to mostly use catchy riffs an melodies with pounding beats an loud in your face vocals to create a unique sound........ with elements of grunge an punk an sometimes the band like to use progression in there songs an at times will slow there sound down with the intention of creating a more chilled out rock ballad sound.Put simple the band dont foll...ow any trends an dont try to sound like any other band if they can help it!!!! The band are based in the Walsall west midlands area. The most recent incarnation of the band has been playing together since early 2012.The band was founded by bassist jimi an drummer JT in late 2011 after playing together for 10 years an going through many line-up changes the lads wanted to go in a different direction an recruited the raw "POWER" of graham benton-cox on vocals an later the talented glenn yates on guitar!!
They hope to sooner or later get a deal or some sort of management to promote there music.The band are currently in an out the studio whilst giging recording there debut album "out of exile" which should be complete an on sale at all shows come march - april 2013!!!!
Any bands or booking agents looking for surport or to play venues across the country then please dont hesitate to get in touch.We are some hungry muthatruckas an we want to play as much as we can an werever will have us!!!!!!
West Midlands-based tribute to Led Zeppelin who have been together for ten years and who really know what they are doing. They were the first tribute band ever to be included in the Kerrang reader's poll, coming 10th in the 'best unsigned band' section in 2004. Recommended by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.
