Slade Drummer’s First Scottish Gig in 50 Years

Slade’s drummer Don Powell will be performing his first Scottish gig in 50 years in aid of charity on 4th July.

It is almost 50 years since Slade played their first ever Scottish gig in August 1965, in Hawick, back when they were known as the N’Betweens.

Powell plans to stop by Hawick Town Hall before visiting Kelso Bikefest where he will sign autographs and play with bands to raise awareness for autism. Kelso Bikefest begins on the 4th July.
