Jimmy Page in 1957!

Here’s an interesting video I came across yesterday. It shows a young “James Page” playing in a skiffle group on the BBC in the 50′s…and if that’s not a piece of rock history then I don’t know what is!

Notice he mentions taking lessons!

To be honest, I’m a little confused about the apparent lack of a microphone (and in case you hadn’t realised Jimmy Page is the dark haired boy on the left). Either way, I’m glad he decided to join Led Zeppelin in the end…even though him finding a cure for cancer would also have been good!

I hope this footage inspires you to keep up the guitar practice, as you never know how far you might go or where you’ll end up!
Rob.
