Robert Plant to resurrect the Honeydrippers for charity gig
For the second time in less than two months, Robert Plant will resurrect his side project the Honeydrippers in the U.K. to raise money for a neighbour. The first gig was December 23rd in Worcestershire, and now Plant has booked the Honeydripers at the club JBs in Dudley on Valentine's Day (February 14th), according to the British newspaper The Express & Star. Just like in December, proceeds from the show will go to help a friend named Jackie Jennings pay for a special type of brain cancer treatment that costs 100,000 pounds, or about $193,000.Plant's 1984 album, called The Honeydrippers: Volume One, featured his Led Zeppelin partner Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and others. There's been no word yet on who might be on stage with him at the club next month.
The Honeydrippers album was reissued in November as part of the Plant box set called Nine Lives.
