The latest news from SLADE Central is:

Greetings Slade people,

Lots to tell you about this time.

First of all, as you may be aware, we are re-releasing the movie Flame as a Collector's Edition DVD on April 2nd. It features a brand new print of the film transferred and digitally remastered from the original negative, a new documentary featurette including interviews with all four band members, co-star Tom Conti and director Richard Loncraine, a soundtrack CD and a 16 page colour booklet.

To promote the new DVD, here in the UK Noddy Holder will be appearing on Richard & Judy (commencing 5pm on channel 4) on the afternoon of Monday 26th March and on The Wright Stuff (commencing 9am on channel 5) on 27th March.

He will also be live as a guest on a number of UK radio shows: The Jonathan Ross Show on BBC Radio 2 (Saturday 24th March 12.30 - 13.00 pm), BBC West Midlands - Ed Doolan Show (Monday 26th March 12.00 noon), BBC Radio London - Robert Elms Show (Monday 26th March 2.30pm). There will be other radio appearances too, but we are not certain of the broadcast time at present. We will try to publish the dates/times of Noddy's other radio appearances/inteviews on our Slade microsite (www.unionsquaremusic/slade) as we receive them.

Secondly, our next batch of Slade reissues: Whatever Happened To Slade, We'll Bring The House Down, Till Deaf Do Us Part and a 2CD compilation called Rockers will hit the streets on April 16th.

So that's two dates for my diary.

2 April is going to be an expensive day. Not only is the magnificent 'SLADE in Flame' DVD released, but so is the 'Our Earthly Pleasures' CD by Maximo Park and the 'Stranger Than Fiction' DVD. All are, of course, must haves.
