As a 17 year old in 1973 I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that we had the best Christmas music and Christmas tv adverts. Noddy, Jim, Dave & Don didn’t just give us a fun record for Christmas in 1973 , they gave us hope that things would get better, as the country was going through some tough times. 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍. Merry Christmas to all .🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I had the pleasure of seeing Noddy on tour this year and he is an absolute diamond. A true performer, music and narration just flow through his veins. Whilst most people nowadays will know Slade from their Christmas song, they were an outstanding band and Noddy was a vocalist without comparison. A true rock and roller.

Both slade and whams Christmas songs came from a golden era of wonderfull iconic seasonal songs , that have grew and grew bigger as the years pass,..to the classic status they are now today.....it represented a Britain that was very different place to where we now live,...they were great times and I have great memories growing up as a kid in the 70s and 80s,.. had some brilliant Christmas's

Mr Glitter may have blotted his copybook, but "Another rock'n'roll xmas" is still a great festive record that gets played through most of December in my house. In fact, in my top 20 xmas records, Slade only comes in at no 9. But music is always subjective.
What a great interview. Noddy is amazing. Merry Christmas, y'all
Noddy and his band were always the real deal. The peoples Led Zeppelin, great characters and players. Simply cant ever get organic bands rooted in their towns and loved bybthe local people.
Slade, Merry Christmas Everyone, was and still is my favourite Christmas song. 1973 had some great tunes, 50 years later just goes to prove it. "IT'S CHRISTMAS " as Noddy shouts.
Noddy 🙏 🤶 We Love Slade in the USA ❤ 🎶 🎵

Entering my 8th decade in London, next year, and The Double A Side of "Last Christmas" and "Everything She Wants" is my British favourite Christmas Single and the video does help,I must admit and we all think of the extraordinarily talented George at this time. Many of the tracks on his "Ladies and Gentlemen) Album are some of the best I have heard and I have been buying records since 1960:)

You're looking good Noddy after all your health issues.
There are no sleigh bells or children`s choir etc on `Merry Christmas Everybody` yet the song just simply exudes Christmas. It doesn`t need any gimmicks. The lyrics are wonderful and remind you of how important family is at Christmas.
Last Christmas is quite a timeless song. I think it is just a classic Christmas song with good lyrics, vocals and instrumental. It will always be good.
Most major singing stars will do a Xmas song because of the royalties every year ,so very wise of Noddy.
Great songs live for ever.....legends👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
