Shame Noddy Holder wasn't there .. strange given that he's still going strong and appears to love the limelight..

Yeah but he doesn't sing at all, now! Can't blame him, I think he feels too old...

Think the singer Brian connolly may of died a while back or has a disability, the blonde guy looks like (Andy?) preist.

I know he was a radio presenter (dj) for a long time after he left slade and also did a little bit of acting in a comedy series the name of which escapes me.

Re: Gigs.Bands seen.

Been to many great gigs over time but two stand out for all the WRONG reasons and they were Black sabbath and Hawkwind both shows were in the mid 70s and whilst i'm a big fan of both bands the live performances were dreadful....just a rackett, due to the fact that they were too stoned to play

Yup, Brian Connolly (not actually Mark McManus' brother btw) passed away some time ago. The guitarist (the only one in this line-up from their heyday) is Andy Scott (the bassist, Steve priest, plays in an American version - the drummer, Mick Tucker, is also deceased) and he will be 70 soon...
