Morgana Welch

Morgana Welch was born on March 24th, 1956, and she's a writer. She was linked to John Paul Jones on 1971, when she was around 15, and with Robert Plant a year later.

Morgana had her first contact with a rock star in an annual battle of rock bands celebrated on the “Hollywood Palladium”, when she was a secundary student in Beverly Hills. "It was a place where the girls could look at rock stars, and rock stars look at the girls. That was my begining as a groupie", she said. Morgana was the leader of a group of groupies called "LA Queens", she was typical of the very young groupies who cruised the Sunset Strip in the early '70s and made the Rainbow Bar and Grill and the Continental Hyatt House (a.k.a. the "Riot House") their second homes. Though only sixteen, she was soon cavorting with Led Zeppelin, "There was a power in being able to provide fulfillment of fantasies of these men [who] were older than me."
