About Noddy Holder
Neville John "Noddy" Holder is an English musician, songwriter and actor. He was the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the English rock band Slade, one of the UK's most successful acts of the 1970s. Known for his distinctive and wide ranging powerful voice, Holder co-wrote most of Slade's material with bass guitarist Jim Lea including "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", "Cum On Feel the Noize" and "Merry Xmas Everybody". During late 1983, Holder did some production work with the American band the First, who came over to the UK from Boston, Massachusetts, especially to work with him, although there was never any release of material. Holder and Burnell produced the single together, and it was published under Noddy Holder Music Ltd./Whild John Music Ltd., and released via Speed Records. Holder started his own band called the Memphis Cutouts and then, with Steve Brett & The Mavericks in the early '60s, recorded four singles for EMI's Columbia label.
