To me come into B.B.C. Radio last night we have at lest the Fiesta or siesta to come and also Slade's Dave Hill ahead of Slade appearing in last on Sunday so head of all that let's play this . What. They see. B.B.C. Radio Leicester coming up 73 Christian the you didn't enjoy that song come on how good was you know what us possibly the 1st time I've heard that song in its entirety recognizable bits of it. But I wasn't aware of that song is whole nice or isn't it lovely Well you'll hear from Dave Hale before half past 3 because Slade will be playing in Leicester on Sunday but 1st of all I saw this how shall we. Buy you feed into a Christian Fiesta or siesta what kind of a siesta reaction a high in the sky is going to be there when the weather is going to turn this weekend isn't it it's already cold and I just feel like sort of settling in by the fire. Until you got to settle in by the fire and I thought actually that does sound quite nice have you got a proper fire. I happen to Fortunately on my My house is in disarray at the moment oh yeah but I want what happened when you put your foot through the ceiling of your house yet more last weekend on the Saturday I was in the room above and I put my phone through the kitchen ceiling and the following to that. Time something like saying I mean she lighting the floor of the room about the kitchen so on the Saturday my foot went through this ceiling of the kitchen and then the following day I drilled a hole through a hot water pipe so I had the pleasure of standing in my kitchen watching water gushing out the pipe coming through the hole that put my foot through the day before is everything I want now. Physically yes but you know it's only logically if you want we can scrap Fiesta siesta we're just treat this is a therapy session if you want if you don't mind I've got my eye on that chocolate I'll be very therapeutic Yeah OK get me one CARPENTER Yeah we got some chocolate There was given to us by the way not just by anybody the archdeacon of law holy chocolate holy chocolate Exactly so you can win this now let me just tell you the vibe the lesser under in today courtesy of our wonderful listeners like Margaret Knighton who is in a fiesta meet making a stand also Fiesta getting a right Dorothy in Shepp shed Rogerian Laster Minnelli is always on our way to a son's Christmas fair hi to you. But getting it right in a siesta meat stand this is where we're going because more people of color makes why other hairy beekeeper proper siesta me today he says David importance to James in Boston also Morag royal thought Pasley who he's currently with his grandson Luke traveling home from Rushden. And also D. Jane Stanley gate go and see Esther Kevin Sylvia. And an anonymous tech stuff it's always nice to have an anonymous text or at least one day so thank you very much indeed for your post so there goes siesta where you going siesta siesta right there is a question which mode of transport has parts called an envelope burner and basket. Well I don't know but guessing I would have said either a rocket or a jet and I'm on a pretty sure and talk talk and talk about having off to Berners so I'm going to jet is the wrong answer. The correct question. Makes sense. When somebody says it's you that's what happened this is somebody. With the envelope. That's a good question actually we don't know to a producer Hayden question you could have a right does anybody know about what's happening so you can. Never again can somebody tell a space. OK From very quickly how many days are in February in a 29. How Deep Is Your Love and in all seriousness if somebody does not. Use the actual. Iraq and. Me. the hot Iraq but if I get to. 70 minutes past 3. Days he'll from Slate has a book out but he's also coming to last on Sunday because Slade are playing the Academy here in last and it's also been 45 years since the release of Marcus everybody so with all that in mind I caught up with Dave a little while ago and I started by asking him when will he pack he's back for the tall when will I pack my bag I don't think it ever gets I don't think it ever gets on back to back to me to be like you know Paul from the stocks and bonds and various things that come out you know some of the stage games so fall out that it's a bit like I think a pipe my bag when I was 18. How does packing your bag now differ to when you packed your bag in the seventy's into bags probably bigger but. There was a situation where we went on a ship board it was called it a boat across to across to to a stand and of the same reasons I want to get all me back and dropped out of the sort of the boat chase here oh yeah as if to give me things of that interview when I was young you know they stick bags of glitter around. And you know yeah it was like you know I was one of these self obsessed Well as you know that I didn't have a personal person to carry this you know it's a bit like jazz moment aged chest and laces is Davies's you should be carrying that soft kind of interrupted America can emerge again on the flight with a bag. The glitter. Account but now that when you do when you go in on so unless bear in mind that your tour has a break for Christmas itself where no doubt you're going to get some presents potentially pants and socks that could say go in the back you must think about things differently now well I suppose Christmas is years ago a very personal like you know as a tell it in a book the story of the way it was a term in those days more simple than possibly in some ways better or less less less greed in the marketplace is the difference and you know and when you grow up Obviously things change in I mean our could never have imagined in my wildest dreams that I'd become so much a part of Christmas myself you know because obviously Christmas in those days was being course to be on the radio and very simple Christmases and lots of snow or seem to remember in those those late forty's 950 S. Days of of much Aldred a lot of records were quite Jingle Bells in those days you know people didn't really write new Christmas songs but in no 1953 there was a horse and we only came away with what we call was a good idea and the idea was that a grand Morad said Oh nobody writes Christmas songs anymore they're all Jingle Bells an all star which is true and certainly a rock band would imagine a rock band and wrote a Christmas song special when they just don't comb feel the noise and purely OD say the Christmas song was a relief for us because in 973 we were the biggest band going in Arkansas a that with all honesty we were the Beatles of the seventy's at that point and without 2 number ones. Well the 2nd number one was squeeze me please and when we had that number one we had a tragic accident with a drama we had to help him. Get back on his feet but we were also had the wind knocked us for a short period of time and we were in America trying to do the old gay get to where we're not so well know to say what it's like between the 4 of us and there was a situation in a studio in New York where John Lennon was recording and he decided to cancel and our manager said the same for a time and why don't we put that over there of yours down noise can you imagine this and it was a 100 degrees hate the song so we went in and started to work on it and we had to build up the drums because Don wasn't quite fit then you know used to it was he was gettin there though and we worked on it and we all didn't know the song that well and we sorta did it on the hoof you know we just basically recorded it and and Chasa well all mix it as a new the tone back it back in England take it all said OK so we carried on and it wasn't a light November that we suddenly started to get this feedback you know like chess and mixtape sent to the record company and there were jumping around and it was like oh well we think it's pretty good book what are the main you know it's an awful appear now Liza what is this and and it was interesting and we were in Belgium as well and. We went to Belgium and Iraq's open he says Come to my office I must talk to about this record and we should break a bottle of champagne and so we went and he broke a bottle of champagne and poorly tat he said I think the song is a wonderfully that I think it's amazing he said this is so different and the pride and then he played it again and we all got drunk at his office and it sounded amazing we got back to England the next thing we heard was it off a 1000000 records had gone out in one day and it was like you know when something is really remarkable happens and you really can't stop it it's a runaway horse it was an amazing time. When it was 973 November December England was on on a lot it was were some bricks it and 3 days wakes and strikes and then a song comes out and lifts and I should and to be honest with. No one would ever think we'd be talking about it 45 years later it's incredible what a great story that was I'm so glad you told that Dave is fascinating and that song Say Christmas you know there are several things that go with Christmas Father Christmas Christmas dinner each free and slight Let's talk about your family because you still live in mobile homes you have 3 kids and you have 6 grandchildren now with Christmas around the corner where we be spending it who does the cooking and do you go brussel sprouts or not yes I think I get all of those on No I don't cook I won't cook and don't cook on boil an egg yolk on like a salmon sandwich or what. I think when it comes to cook you know no Michel Rouge and I wouldn't be any sort of. You know I can appreciate the the interest of of amazing cooking like a Christmas song it says you know waiting for the family to arrive and hoping there's enough room in saw it I think is really pretty common in the sense of having a big family and when you've got the young ones well of course then you can really live it Cohen chew and you're all sitting there stuffing your face with the obvious ones I mean we don't probably have many Brussels sprouts in the year. For for obvious when do you raise them. And. I think the turkey or whether it's tricky in some preferred cheeking some people for the steak expect to be on ritual going to return it's it's always been for us to be believing something or how can something nothing Christmas is something for children and they can hope it's something being good you know and all that kind of thing I was you grow older you learn a lot more here now you lose some things but again things I think now in life I enjoy the fact that it's a few days off between the gate. Because I think I got want to move before we finish the year but he it's a few days just a ROM do nothing and he's more common war zone. Just. Us. Right just ahead of Afternoon Delight which today is something for the weekend as we get you ready.
