Carl found the ultimate inspiration in Zep’s guitarist

When it comes to Carl’s influences, Jimmy Page stands out – with Carl studying him, writing about him and forming a Led Zeppelin revival show.“It was a case of the right person and right sound at that time in my life,” he says. “I had an older sister who once sat me down with a stack of vinyl and said,‘Listen to this,’ and it was /Heartbreaker/ from LedZeppelinII. I just could not believe that solo in the middle! I didn’t know what I was hearing. Everything just came together at the moment and I was addicted to that unbridled explosive passion.”
