Now, for the first time, the man whose outlandish costumes, glittering make-up, and unmistakable hairstyle made Slade the definitive act of glam rock tells his story. Growing up in a council house in 1950s Wolverhampton, Dave always knew he wanted to be a musician, and in the mid-sixties, with Don Powell, he founded the band that in 1970 would settle on the name Slade.
Their powerful guitar-driven anthems formed the soundtrack for a whole generation, and their Top of the Pops performances, led by their flamboyant, ever-smiling lead guitarist, became legendary. But So Here It Is reveals that there’s much more to Dave’s life than Top of the Pops and good times.
The book uncovers surprising family secrets, tells the inside story of the original band’s painful break-up, explores Dave’s battles with depression, his decision to reform Slade and go back on the road, and his recovery from the stroke that threatened to cut short his career.
Told with great heart and humour, So Here It Is is the story of the irresistible rise of Dave Hill and the definitive account of his journey from working-class lad to global rock star.
