Dave Hill 
So Here It Is 
The Autobiography

‘No Slade = No Oasis. It’s as devastating and as simple as that’ Noel Gallagher




With six consecutive number one singles and the smash hit ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’, Slade were unstoppable. Now, the man whose outlandish costumes and unmistakable hairstyle made Slade one of the definitive acts of the Glam Rock era tells his story.






But there’s more to Dave’s life than rock ‘n’ roll and good times.
So Here It Is also covers the band’s painful break-up, Dave’s subsequent battle with depression, and his recovery from the stroke that threatened to cut short his performing career.






If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a working-class lad from the Midlands suddenly confronted by unimaginable fame,
So Here It Is is the definitive account, told with heart and humour and filled with never-before-seen photos.
