Re: New Game - Who Am I ?
My list of British bass lead singers (and it's a decent sized list) who conform to what has been answered so far is down to zero, must be missing someone but no idea who
So to summerise
Bassist who can play guitar
Lead singer of a band, little to no solo work
Started in the sixties born in the forties, set up a band in the seventies
The band wasn't a three piece
Not from Yorks, the NE, Surrey, Scotland, London or Brum but British
Not dead
mmm good question, I like a brain teaser

Re: New Game - Who Am I ?
Are you a lead guitarist who plays a bit of bass sometimes

Re: New Game - Who Am I ?
The only bassist I can name is Jon and even he has changed his name.

Re: New Game - Who Am I ?
Well done everyone for all your questions, establishing where Noddy came, his role in the band & the genre of Slade's music were key I felt
Key points
Born in 1946.
Place of birth Walsall.
Noddy formed a group called the Rockin' Phantoms with school friends at the age of 13.
He also used his father's window-cleaning van to drive Robert Plant to gigs with Plant's band at the time, the Tennessee Teens.
Holder started his own band called the Memphis Cutouts and then with Steve Brett & the Mavericks in the early '60s made four singles for Columbia Records.
Noddy initially played bass guitar
Four piece band.
Successful 70's band
Genre - glam rock/rock
Vocalist/rhythm guitar
Holder, Hill, Lea & Powell formed Ambrose Slade in 1966
Their manager changed their name to Slade in 1970 when signing a recording contract with Polydor

Re: New Game - Who Am I ?
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Leon for so kindly overestimating my knowledge of music by insisting I would know who the musician is. Not only have I never heard of Noddy Holder but I still have no clue who he is ;)
