Albert smith Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hi I am still trying to contact my old friend Kenny Slade the drummer. If anyone knows him or speaks with him could they please ask him to contact Harry Kershaw. Kenny and I played together back in the 60s in Germany. My telephone number 01253 790734 email h.kershaw505@btinternet.com Many thanks Call the La Plata club and ask them if he still drinks in there .

Calahonda Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Both Kenny and Dave Green, whilst supposedly backing Joe Cocker, also played in the Scot William Combo, which was a very good band. Kenny always wore a narrow brimmed trilby whilst on or off stage, Dave once leaned on the stage curtain whilst playing bass, thinking it was solid, and did a Del Boy bar flap fall, Kenny fell backwards off his stool laughing, albeit both of them being somewhat inebriated. Great days, wouldn’t swap them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossdog Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 .......I was the original bass player with the Scott William Combo and was instrumental in getting Kenny to join the band.He Had just returned from London and showed me an LP by the Giants. Last spoke to him a couple of years back and he was living in Walkley but not sure where! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate and I used to meet up with Scott and the guys at the ABC’s Concourse Suite on many a Sunday afternoon, this is probably the only time that I have witnessed Kenny drink something none alcoholic.

deedar Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I was in a band with Sladey in 1976 when I was 17. During rehearsals he used to send us down to the chemist for Do Do Asthma tablets, he liked the buzz you got when you mixed them with Vodka.

Sometimes beats me how Kenny is still with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
