Dave Hill's Slade

A concert by Dave Hill's Slade at O2 Academy Leeds, centred on the songs of Slade, the Wolverhampton glam rock band whose guitarist Dave Hill is part of this act.

Slade formed in Wolverhampton in the mid-1960s and became one of the best-known British glam rock bands of the early 1970s. Their singles include "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" (1972), "Cum On Feel the Noize" and "Merry Xmas Everybody" (both 1973). The band's line-up of that period included vocalist Noddy Holder, bassist and violinist Jim Lea, drummer Don Powell and guitarist Dave Hill.

Dave Hill's Slade is led by Dave Hill, the guitarist from the band's early years, and the name points to the group's catalogue of 1970s hits. It suits listeners who know the records and anyone interested in British glam rock of that period.

O2 Academy Leeds is a venue in the city that hosts concerts and shows, and this booking places the act there on this visit to Leeds.
