Don Powell interview, Heidenheimer Zeitung 4.3.2010

Julia Weber vor dem Konzert (Heidenheim Congress Centrum 13.3.2010): Interview mit Don Powell, Gründer und Drummer von „Slade“

"Groupies gibt's doch keine mehr"

Bei ihren ersten Auftritten 1966 hieß die Band noch „N'Betweens“. Doch bekannt wurde die Gruppe unter dem Namen „Slade“. Sie schafften stolze 16 Top-Twenty-Hits und gelten bis heute sie als dritterfolgreichste Band in Großbritannien – nach den Beatles und den Rolling Stones. Zu sehen und zu hören ist die Band in Bälde in Heidenheim: Am Samstag (13. März, 18.30 Uhr) tritt die Band im Rahmen der „Classic Rock Night“ im Congress Centrum auf – mit den Rubettes, Sweet und Smokie. Anlässlich des Konzerts hat sich Julia Weber mit dem Gründungsmitglied und Drummer von Slade, Don Powell, unterhalten.

Mr. Powell, Sie hatten 2006 bereits einen Auftritt in der Karl-Rau-Halle Heidenheim. Haben sie bestimmte Erinnerungen an diese Stadt? 
- Oh, wir waren an so vielen Orten der Welt unterwegs und haben Konzerte gegeben. Leider fehlte oft die Zeit, die Städte zu besichtigen – so auch in Heidenheim. Aber vielleicht wird dies bei unserem jetzigen Besuch möglich sein.

Wie lange und wo wird „Slade“ dieses mal denn unterwegs sein?
- Wir spielen fast jede Woche in Europa. Demnächst werden wir aber auch in Russland sein. Insgesamt läuft die Tour voraussichtlich 18 Monate.

...

Besteht denn noch Kontakt zu den alten Bandmitgliedern Jimmy Lea oder Noddy Holder?
- Don: Oh ja, wir sind die ganze Zeit über in Kontakt, das letzte mal vor drei Wochen. Wir telefonieren und treffen uns auch oft zum Lunch.

...

Interessieren sich Ihre Kinder auch für Musik?
- Ja, sie spielen Klavier oder singen. Einer spielt sogar in einer eigenen Band.

Gibt es da Ratschläge vom Papa?
- Na, ich versuche es zumindest. Aber sie meinen, ich sei zu alt, um ihnen Tipps zu geben (lacht).

Und was halten sie dann davon, dass der Vater immer noch auf der Bühne steht und auftritt?
- Das finden sie toll. Sie können zwar leider nicht an vielen Konzerten dabei sein – aber sie finden es fantastisch.

Glam rockers to open new music venues

Released: Monday March 8, 2010

Wolverhampton's newest music venues will be officially unveiled later this week – by members of a Black Country glam rock band which has given its name to one of them.

Dave Hill and Don Powell of Slade will cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the Slade Rooms and Little Civic, two brand new nightspots in one building.

The event on Thursday March 11, 2010 will also mark the launch of a unique partnership between Wolverhampton City Council, the National Skills Academy and the City of Wolverhampton College, which will see the council's world-class entertainment venues used to train music industry apprentices.

SLADE
Providence 1975 [Dan Lampinski Recording, 1CD]
Live at the Providence Civic Center, Providence, RI, October 25, 1975. Very good audience recording.

Dave Jewell played this album last night on his radio-show.

Hard to imagine that Slade were touted, at one time, as the next Beatles. After all, they were the first act to have three singles enter at No. 1 on the British charts. They were Britain’s top band of 1972-74 and were regulars on Top Of The Pops. But casual listeners will probably remember them as glam rockers whose song titles were often misspelt.

By 1975, even if they were not the hit-making machine they once were, on stage, they were still energy-charged rockers and could easily hold and whip up the crowd, as the Providence concert showed.

As ethiessen1, who created the artwork, said: “I hadn’t listened to this band since back in junior high school, and then the attraction was primarily their outlandish stage attire combined with their instinct for good, well constructed anthemic rock n roll with just a hint of pop. If you’ve not heard this band before… ignore the glam looking costumes and prepare to be blown away by relatively simple but well arranged and well performed rockers. Think of a British (where these guys were major stars) version of Kiss  but with a little more flair and a lot less makeup…”

Thanks to djscomics for sharing the lossless tracks on the Dime site. Above all, thanks to Dan Lampinski, Carl Morstadt (who mastered the tracks), Kev, ethiessen1 and the rest of the Lampinski crew.

FEBRUARY 2010 

Slade duo Dave Hill and Don Powell confirm they will open the Slade Rooms at the new Little Civic in Wolverhampton

Feb 24 2010 by Steve Bradley, Birmingham Mail

BLACK Country rock heroes Don Powell and Dave Hill are to officially open a new venue named after their world famous band Slade.

And organisers say the group’s gregarious lead singer Noddy Holder is hoping to attend the launch of the Slade Rooms in Broad Street, Wolverhampton, on March 11. The venue is part of the new Little Civic.

But Civic Halls spokesman Jonn Penney has ruled out a full reunion of the original band at the event, as bassist and songwriter Jim Lea said he would be on holiday at the time.

Jonn said: “We are still waiting to hear back from Noddy Holder, but Dave and Don are definitely coming.

After a spell of inactivity on the Jim Lea front, he is back resuming on his project with violins, violas, cellos and even a double bass in tow. Jim has never been one to rush things, his last album took around 10 years to complete, some tracks were started in our early days in Walsall, and we have been here in Coven for nigh on 8 years. Currently he has over 20 songs on the go."

We'll Bring The House Down

The tall tale of how teacher Taffy Thomas turned storytelling laureate
News | Published in The TES on 5 February, 2010 | By: Helen Ward

"..Two years travelling the country for yarn spinner who found his calling through post-stroke speech therapy

"when I left teaching," said Taffy Thomas, who was appointed this week as the UK's first storytelling laureate, "my headteacher told me, 'You are leaving teaching to work in education.' He was right - what I do as a storyteller is educational. You can't write a story unless you can tell a story and you can't tell a story unless you've heard a story."
...
But his first love was teaching.
...
"I had a really inspirational teacher at primary school in Somerset, a man called Gordon Rose. He's immortalised now in one of my stories.

"I did my teacher training at Dudley College of Education and then got a job teaching at Etheridge School in Bilston, which the members of Slade went to. Dave Hill (lead guitarist) ruined one of my lessons once by walking past the window just as I'd just got them all settled down."

Slade guitarist Dave Hill on new Facebook campaign for Noddy Holder to rejoin the band

Jan 31 2010 by Steve Bradley, Sunday Mercury

SLADE star Dave Hill spoke about a new campaign for Noddy Holder to rejoin the group and said: ‘‘If he wants to come and sing with us, we’d be very happy.’’

The lead guitarist was responding to a growing Facebook group which is trying to persuade the charismatic frontman to get back together with his the chart-topping Black Country band.

Devoted fan Mark Taylor has attracted more than 1,000 members to his internet campaign – entitled We Want Noddy To Rejoin Slade – in just one month.

Dave, 63, initially played down the campaign by stating he believed he and the fun-loving group, minus Noddy and fellow songwriter Jim Lea, would continue with their current singer, Malcolm McNulty.

Interview with Don Powell - Slade by Steve Grantley

We had been thinking of including Slade drummer Don Powell in our Great British Drum Heroes section for some time. As Steve Grantley, drummer with Stiff Little Fingers and The Alarm, co-wrote a book titled Cum On Feel The Noize – The Story Of Slade for Carlton books a few years ago, he seemed the perfect person to interview the man himself. Steve agreed, so here we pass over to him to give us a brief overview of Don and Slade’s

enduring career.

________________________________________
Don Powell is the drummer with Slade, who are arguably the greatest glam rock band ever! Don was a working class boy playing local clubs and pubs when he first started with the band, but he went on to achieve huge chart success and all the fame, fortune and madness that goes with it. Slade became a ‘70’s phenomenon and one of Britain’s most successful pop acts of all time. Their good-time-vibe anthems and scarves-in-the-air sense of rock balladry has lasted them throughout their entire career and they’re still going strong.

Openair mit SLADE, Smokie und Sweet

OFFENBURG. Nach vielen Jahren der Funkstille steigt in diesem Jahr in Offenburg wieder ein richtiges Rock-Openair. Am Sonntag, 18. Juli, gastieren mit Slade, Smokie und Sweet auf dem Flugplatz wahre Legenden der Rockmusik. Die Veranstalter rechnen mit 3000 bis 6000 Fans – vor allem mit jung gebliebenen 40-ern, 50-ern und 60-ern. Das sind natürlich deutlich weniger als beim Super-Openair an Pfingsten 1976, als auf dem Messegelände 18 000 Leute gezählt wurden.

Slade's past concerts in reverse chronological order.

Album: The Imagined Village, Empire & Love (ECC)

Reviewed by Andy Gill

Simon Emmerson's folk/world project becomes a much firmer, more focused aggregation than on its 2007 debut.

The programmed beats are pared back to a minimum in order to allow the rhythm section room to devise a range of more subtle, organic, grooves, with sitar the sole non-British frontline element in what is now more obviously a band sound.

....

....

....

....

It speaks volumes about the band's versatility that they adapt as easily to this as to the album's more earthbound themes, of which the most startling is undoubtedly a version of Slade's "Cum On Feel The Noize" turned into a combination folk lament and invitation to the dance: with the world-weariness of Martin Carthy's delivery spiked by his daughter's descant harmony, and wistful fiddle and sitar further emphasising the mood of poignant yearning.

Guitarist Dave Hill: 'Some Say That Christmas Isn't Christmas Without Slade'

Ultimate Guitar 25.12.2009:

"Around Christmas, wherever you walk in the United Kingdom, whether it be through shops, pubs, clubs, it's extremely likely you'll hear the rocking tones of Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody". Even if you're at home, the radio and the television will at some point air the track - it's extremely difficult to miss in fact. But beneath all that lies something underrated and relatively unnoticed, and that's a group that has cut a slew of strong compositions, amounting to a weighty back catalogue. In fact, groups to have cited Slade as an influence include no lesser names than Kiss, Oasis, Cheap Trick, Quiet Riot, and James Blunt amongst many, many others.

On November 23rd, 2009, Universal Music issued the compilation "Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade Party Hits". Grouping in 1966 as a new version of the N' Betweens, vocalist Noddy Holder, guitarist Dave Hill, bassist Jim Lea and drummer Don Powell would revise their group name to Ambrose Slade, eventually shortening it to merely Slade. Throughout their career, Slade have accumulated twenty-three top twenty UK singles, a number that includes six number ones. In the early seventies, Slade were arguably the biggest group in the UK charts, notching up no less than eleven top five singles between 1971 and 1974 alone. "Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade Party Hits" includes many of the act's signature tunes, such as "Merry Xmas Everybody", "Coz I Luv You", "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", "C'mon Feel The Noize", and "Skweeze Me Pleeze Me".

On December 2nd at 12:00 GMT, Hit The Lights' Robert Gray telephoned reception at Truro, Cornwall's Royal Hotel, and asked to be put through to the room of Slade lead guitarist Dave Hill. Hill discussed "Merry Xmas Everybody", as well as Slade's early career.

Seewen –

«Living Next Door to Alice» oder «Lay Back in the Arms of Someone» (Smokie), «Ballroom Blitz» oder «Wig Wam Bam» (The Sweet) und «Coz I Luv You» oder «Cum on Feel the Noize» (Slade) sind Welthits aus den Siebzigerjahren, die heute noch fast jedem und jeder in den Ohren nachklingen. Am 17. Juli 2010 werden diese Ohrwürmer-Melodien in der Badi in Seewen zu hören sein – live gespielt von jenen Rockbands, die damals auf den Weltbühnen rockten. Nach Schwyz bringen diese Musikgrössen die gleichen Organisatoren, die dieses Jahr Verdis Oper «Nabucco» auf den Hauptplatz brachten.

Express & Star 01.01.2010:

"Noddy told to cum on feel noise of fan calls

Almost 350 people have joined a Facebook group entitled We Want Noddy Holder to Rejoin Slade. Die-hard fans are calling for Walsall-born Noddy to re-join original bandmates Jim Lea, Dave Hill and Don Powell for one last gig. Group founder Mark Taylor, of Shepherd’s Bush, London, describes Wolverhampton-based Slade as “one of the greatest live bands to ever come out of the UK”.

The campaign has only been going for four days and he predicts thousands will eventually add their name to it.

Postman Mr Taylor, aged 41, has been a Slade fan since he was five. He also writes for a music website in his spare time. “I’ve never seen them live but it would mean the world to me and many others to see them back together,” he said. Noddy has long retired from the music scene and was unavailable for comment today, while bassist Jim Lea has a solo career.
