If ever there was a person of such deserving credentials then its this man Noddy Holder.. Slade were the best band and the biggest band to grace the supersonic 70s for sure.
pretty sure that nod hasn't had to pay for a beer or a pie in walsall since about 1973, and, as for the 'freedom' bit, i can totally confirm that nod could go anywhere in that district and be welcomed with open arms - but it's nice to see the stuffed shirts acknowledging him after all these years! walsall's finest. ANY town would be proud to have him!
Still can command a crowd what a pasonna and presence this great front man has always had. His rock roll voice could take the blaster off your walls it's so powerful the best awesome voice live ever. Miss you Nod but thanks for the memory it lives ever in my mind.
I was so lucky to be there! As i only live down the road and i'm a huge Slade fan i wasn't going to miss it!!! Took my 11 year old daughter who wasn't that impressed tho lol congratulations Noddy. Lovely lovely man got to speak to him and got the program signed!.....
Watching old Slade videos (Slade in England) brought me here. Noddy has never changed his polite yet down to earth attitude. What a top bloke he is. As mentioned ANY town would be happy to give Noddy the freedom .
he deserves it,, !! i was in the army in shrewsbury, and there was a guy from walsall there,, he was the salt of the earth.. and if you ever got into trouble.. he was the guy to have on your side,, believe me...
I lived in Wednesbury for a while & loved the friendliness of people, also worked in Dudley. Then in 2019 visited from Perth, Australia, stayed in Walsall, travelling from bus station where the people were again so friendly, love the Black Country 💙❤️💚
this guy shows man is made by God .a world power in rock . yet not impressed by himself .happy to be here . been a great Dr. Who .i am from Cleveland . hear him every day . knight the guy shee
I hope they thank Noddy not only for his huge contribution of a half a century, as a singer/songwriter, as a musician, as a writer, as a broadcaster, and actor, but also for being one of the foremost taxpayers in town. :) PS: I'm pretty sure Dave Hill chose that mayor's outfit, but not the haircut; that had to be Chas Chandler's idea.

walsall's finest. ANY town would be proud to have him!
He has a lot of humility and doesn't realise how his voice transcends a mortal beings. His vocal chords were truly blessed.

Miss you Nod but thanks for the memory it lives ever in my mind.
Noddy is just great. Like him so much.

Noddy’s taking on a distinct Beethoven appearance

World Heritage!!!
Born in Walsall, not Birmingham or Wolverhampton. Newhall st Caldmore, Walsall.
dave hill would have his work cut out trying to out do the mayors costume,i guess thats why he didnt show
what an honour 🎶☺️ and to those who don't know what they mean by the black country... it's referring to those who used to work in the coal mines
Noddy is a class act..Love the guy ..(And I'm mainly a prog rock fan, nothing to do with Slade, right?)
Noddy is God ❤
One person I’d love to have a pint with.
Лигенда навсегда такие сечас мастадонты расли нанем артист космас всиленой ево харизме мало
Freedom of Walsall means he can go wherever ee wantz in Walsall.
Who are these nobs who didn't raise their hands? I'm really exzaperated how people got no honour.why nods and the priest deserve the respect
Not that Noddy would ever park his car in Walsall. Or even live in a Walsall again.
👍👍👍☝👍👍👍
❤️🎩
Freedom Of The Borough *OF* Walsall, NOT *IN*
The man with the bad attitude..............(hands down)............
But he's from Hampshire!
Was dorset on another post.....either stirring it or crap at geography
“Neville John Holder was born on 15 June 1946 in the Caldmore area, near the centre of Walsall, Staffordshire, England.”
Noddy is Walsall born and bred.
Its Christmas
Who were the tossers who kept their hands down during the vote? How could you not vote for Noddy?
Without Slade the 70's would have been Shite.
I hope they thank Noddy not only for his huge contribution of a half a century, as a singer/songwriter, as a musician, as a writer, as a broadcaster, and actor, but also for being one of the foremost taxpayers in town.
