THE Bonham family tree is firmly rooted in musical tradition. First was John Bonham, the esteemed drummer for Led Zeppelin, who was followed by his son Jason, a skilled skinsman in his own right, who performed with Zeppelin at their much hailed O2 show.
Add to that list Deborah Bonham – sister of John, aunt of Jason.
The singer is heading to the Tivoli Theatre, Wimborne on April 20 for a show with rock pedigree.
Born in Worcestershire, Deborah was only five when John joined Led Zeppelin, and this powerful introduction sparked in her the overwhelming desire to write and perform.
Last seen at Mr Kyps and the 2011 Upbeat Festival in Poole and as special guest with Nazareth and also alongside Ozzy Osbourne at RipFest in the Czech Republic, Deborah and the band have recorded recent album Spirit.
In the UK and Europe, Deborah has toured with top stars.
She’s also played festivals from Glastonbury to Donington, and twice at Fairport Convention’s Cropredy Festival.
She rips through 13 original compositions backed by her forceful working band. Each song showcases her soulful singing and her sensitive approach to a list of styles, from blues and soul to hard rock.
