Robert made his first public performances as a teenager
at Stourbridge's Seven Stars Blues Club.
He had spells with several local bands including
one called the Crawling King Snakes,
where he first met John Bonham.
In 1966 Robert was in a group called Listen
when he attracted the attention of CBS Records.
His first recording contract was to make three singles
for CBS, but none of these made any significant impact.

I first met Robert when he was in this band,
with a view to him performing and recording my songs.
Quite often we would socialise together.
We have remained friendly ever since, but have not seen,
one another for many years.

Congratulations

to Robert for recieving a CBE
in the New Years Honours list.
It's great that someone from the Brum Beat days,
is recognised in this way, as it is also
a recognition of our music.
