Only a few weeks now until the next video shoot for The Don Powell Band in Kidderminster, which was a great event last year.
The track that they will be releasing is still, at this time, a mystery, but it will be a `tribute to the late Cozy Powell` (no relation), that excellent powerful drummer who played with the likes of Rainbow, the Brian May Band, Whitesnake, and others.
I met Don for the first time last year, after loving Slade since my school days, and what a lovely, patient chap he is. He is extremely generous with his time both with fans and interviewers alike, and last year`s video shoot was a great evening.
You might recall that Don gave me one of his sticks at the end of the shoot, his sticks being custom made for him and heavily taped against shattering into pieces of stage.
