Design by the great David Arnott.

A very rare original concert poster advertising a billed performance by the Yardbirds at Ewell Tech on 2nd November 1968. The Yardbirds would break up before the concert date and this was to be a very early performance by Led Zeppelin in their place.

Likely to be one of the smallest audiences that Led Zeppelin would play to - likely c 150-200 people only. Ewell Tech social secretary at the time Lindsay Brown recalls that after the soundcheck Jimmy Page went home to see his Mum who lived down the road in Epsom.

A likely unique (or only surviving) example of a rare poster.
