THE UK's longest running professional tribute act to iconic rock band Led Zeppelin will perform in west Dorset this weekend.

Whole Lotta Led will bring their interpretation of Blues rockers Led Zeppelin to the Marine Theatre on Saturday night (27).

The band have always avoided the use of wigs and costumes, and try to concentrate on the music and recreate the sounds of Led Zeppelin's original studio albums, to an astonishing level of accuracy.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's seminal double album, Physical Graffiti, Whole Lotta Led will feature songs from the band's fifth studio album, which includes Kashmir, In My Time of Dying and Houses Of The Holy.

The cover act will also be playing all the usual classics from a back catalogue which includes Stairway To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love and Dazed and Confused.

The band are currently touring the UK, with dates booked up until the end of the year.

Since their formation in 1996 the band have continually led the field of Led Zeppelin tributes and with over 1,300 shows to their name they have performed Stairway To Heaven more than any other band in the world – including Led Zeppelin.
