From stage to page: The rockin’ Robin story

From Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant to arena-filling blues behemoth Joe Bonamassa; a tiny club in Bilston has welcomed them all. The Robin 2, in Mount Pleasant, has been dubbed The Marquee of the Midlands. It’s welcomed some of the world’s biggest rock and blues stars for intense, hot’n’sweaty shows in a venue where fans hang onto every note.
