On this day, 21 April 1975, legendary glam rockers Slade played Cardiff’s Theatre. The band were touring following the release of their film, Slade in Flame.
The film charts the history of "Flame", a fictitious group in the late 1960s who are picked up by a marketing company and taken to the top, only to break up at their zenith. Described as the "Citizen Kane of rock musicals" by BBC film critic Mark Kermode, the film went on to achieve critical acclaim years after the mixed feelings on its original release.
