The first slab of original music from Britain’s leading all-female Slade tribute act, Slady. I say ‘original’ but the ladeez have cleverly tweaked the DNA of a few old familiar Slade numbers here. Good luck to them.
Song in comments.
It’s SLADEEEEEEE! KEEP ON RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROCKING!
Unfortunately they had to cancel a gig nearby this year but I hope to see them sometime.
That’s great Colin. Down here we have an all-girl Link Wray tribute band – The Wraylettes.
Not fantastic but good fun.
Call me humbug, but what a vile din. (Slady, not the Wraylettes, who succeed by tapping niche over cliche.)
At least neither is playing Stuck Inside of Mobile 😉
Try this, Retromeister – they do Slade’s ‘deep cuts’ brilliantly, in my view.
The only deep cut I associate with Slade is the one in the canal, where their records should be “filed”. Back in the day, when I said I quite liked their version of Darlin, Be Home Soon, I was lying, only making that comment to book in the fact I preferred the Joe Cocker version of this John Sebastian song.
I’d sooner hear Dylan sing Gudbuy to Jane than Noddy sing Mobile. And that only if Scarlett Rivera played the fiddle motifs.
Humbug! 🙂
You called? And don’t get me started on Christmas albums. Once only the domain of fading country singers, disillusioned soul singers and slebs, now every folkie of worth (and others) are knocking ‘em out.
Yebbut, tell us what you really think about Christmas albums, retro…
Colin, please reassure me you aren’t planning a ‘Slady Live at the BBC’ 25-CD boxset on Repertoire
How on earth did you find out about it?!? 😀
But no, fear not. 20CD Carthy at the BBC set in progress (still), 5-disc Horslips BBC set next year also, plus just off the phone to a man about Blodwyn Pig…
Sounds more like AC/DC to me, but that’s fine. Good luck to them, I’d definitely go and see them if I had the chance. Fun, you know..?
My thoughts exactly!
There is also an all female Ramones tribute act called the Ramonas..
Better than more corporate soulful caterwauling or earnest strumming, IMHO. They do a very enjoyable gig, and the lead singer has, er, “a good set of lungs” for all the Holderesque singing.
Continuing on the Slade theme…
It used to go like that…now it goes like this. And it’s rather lovely.

The very awesome Black Sabbitch
This is much more satisfactory:
I’d buy that for a dollar! Never knew it existed…
Of course to link with the Carthy box set and Slade here’s M Carthy with “Cum on Feel the Noize” especially for @retropath2.
You utter, utter cad, you!
A bounder and popinjay too.
Nicely done, Hubes… 🙂
