Summary
This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are joined by Slade drummer Don Powell. Gary is very excited as Slade are one of the first bands he ever saw on stage and their live shows remain utterly legendary. Don was and remains a childhood hero! In this episode Don chats to Guy and Gary about how the band got together, his musical influences, the huge success the band enjoyed in the 70s, and a remarkable tale about the devastating accident that changed his life in 1973.
