New Led Zeppelin mix set for Molineux debut

Wolves vice-president and rock legend Robert Plant CBE has linked up with the club to enhance the pre-match atmosphere at Molineux with a bespoke Led Zeppelin mix.

Plant, Led Zeppelin lead singer and life-long Old Gold supporter, has been long-associated with the football club and the rock band’s world-famous songs are regularly heard inside Molineux on a matchday.

Between 1968 and 1980 Led Zeppelin released eight studio albums, creating a legacy for Plant as one of the greatest singers in rock music and leading to his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.

For years since, Led Zeppelin tracks, including Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir and Whole Lotta Love, have serenaded Molineux on a matchday, while, in his vice-presidency role, Plant has been a regular presence at Wolves events and matchdays.

Now, he’s returned to the studio with award-winning producer Gavin Monaghan to create a new custom-made edit, amalgamating Whole Lotta Love and Kashmir, which will be played as the teams walk out at Molineux before kick-off on a matchday.

Monaghan is a multi-platinum music producer, who has sold in excess of 20 million records, produced multiple UK number one albums and singles, and worked with the likes of Grace Jones and Celine Dion. He is the current BMA Producer of the Year and his studio, Magic Garden, is the BMA Studio of the Year, both for the second time.

His music has featured in multimillion dollar advertisements and major film and television productions such as Peaky Blinders, the Twilight films, Austin Powers and Gangs of London. More recently, Monaghan finished mixing his band Mama ft. Antonella's first album.

Monaghan gave Plant and Wolves access to his Magic Garden studio for the edit, and when Wolves take on Crystal Palace on Saturday, the vice-president will be in the stands to hear the first public play.

Wolves general manager for marketing and commercial growth Russell Jones said: “Having Robert as a member of the old gold pack is incredibly special, and having now used Kashmir for more than a year at Molineux, Robert was keen to help us move the sound on by mixing two of Led Zeppelin’s most iconic tracks.

“We’d like to thank both Robert and Gavin for their support and I hope that the new mix will get the stadium rocking ahead of the last game of the season.”
