Slade to play for Europe
"Slade have been booked by the government to appear at the London Palladium next month.The group have been chosen to represent Britain in the first of a series of concerts to mark Britain's entry into the common market under the title Fanfare for Europe.
The concert, on January the 7th, is being promoted by Great Western Express, who promoted the Lincoln festival earlier this year, at the request of British Arts Council, at the request of the Government.
The box office opens on December 12th and ticket prices will range from 60p to £2. The concert will begin at 7:30 and other acts for the show will be announced at a later date.
The group from cells entered Europe this week - but just for TV dates in Holland Germany and Belgium and return to Britain on Monday.
Their 'Slayed?' album has advance orders of over - over double the advance for the new Osmonds album. The Palladium gig will be the groups first booking after the European trip and at the end of January they go to Australia and New Zealand with Lindisfarne and Status Quo."
In the same issue:
"Crime rate in London rocketed when Intersongs have-a-go merchant Adrian Rudge took the day off after celebrating too well with Slade."

My thanks to Chris 'The Historian' Selby for his relentless research. It is said, in certain circles, that Walsall Archives have a seat reserved specifically for him and that Wolverhampton archives consult him when searching the Express & Star.
