 "Don Powell - He is an enormous drummer." - Dave Hill, Slade WELCOME TO THE
 FANCLUB - WEBSITE last update: 2008-04-20    Donald George Powell born on 10th September 1946 at Bilston, Staffordshire, England  Drummer Don Powell with guitarist Dave Hill was a foundation member of Slade in 1966. Dave and Don formed also Slade II in 1992 and Slade (II) is still touring very successfully, mostly in Europe. We have got through all our visits to Slade gigs a really good contact with Don. On this website we will tell about our meetings with Don and Slade fans at the Slade happenings. They have been fantastic memories for all of us, for the sake of this we want to say "THANK YOU VERY MUCH DON !" Don is extremely sympathetic person and for us easily the best drummer. The main point for creating this website was the foundation of the DON POWELL FANCLUB (DPFC) on the 15th September in Mönchengladbach, Germany, in the garden of the Club's President Martin Kitz ! THANKS a lot to Martin for this brilliant idea !

There we met Mr Donald George Powell himself with the group at backstage and we had a very honorable and warm-hearted occasion in yielding the first Honorary Member of DPFC roll to Don.
