Don Powell revisits the defining moments of Slade’s rise, from their rough-edged Black Country beginnings and Chas Chandler’s inspired management, to sold-out tours, tragic loss, and their unlikely Christmas immortality. Along the way, he discusses Don and the Dreamers and the enduring thrill of playing music with friends who remember where it all began.
