Really enjoyed the film Becoming Led Zeppelin - m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sizy..., so much so, I immediately headed across the road to buy the first two albums, which the film focuses upon. Hugely enjoyable. Immersive. Recommended! Slightly ashamed I didn't own these records already! 🤔

Fancy a funded PhD on heritage, identity, miltarism, and colonial legacies, with the Royal Air Force Museum London and me, at University of York? Details are below, with a link to the advert.
