A visit and a play

Last Tuesday I visited Slade-drummer Don Powell. We had lunch, worked for a while and did a bit of chatting. In the evening Don and his girlfriend took me to the town of Herning where we attended the dress rehearsal for the play "Oliver T." that features Slade's music. It was quite amazing, especially the singer was wonderful. He's the one in the middle with the black top hat on the photo down below. You can read more about the play on my Slade-blog and my Jim Lea-blog. Thanks for a lovely day, you 2!

Once again: Slade

Saturday the 20th of August I went to the third and final Slade-concert this August in Denmark in connection with work. It had its good sides and its bad. Bad sides first: the train was late, I couldn't find the darn place (Ølstykke Stadium), I had hundreds of mosquitos-bites and worst of all: most of my photos turned out crap. Good sides: I had a great time with Don Powell and the rest, good music, beautiful night and on my way home I ran into Per Christensen, a big Slade-fan who'd taken some good pics and even had the heart to let me use them. Thanks a lot, Per!

Slade concert

I went to a Slade concert yesterday in the Danish town Vissenbjerg in connection with the articles I am doing on their drummer Don Powell at the moment. It was a great experience and I am currently working on an account of the evening, that will go on my Slade-blog as soon as the rest of the photos are ready.
