Early life and career
The son of a window cleaner, Holder passed the Eleven plus exam and attended a grammar school for a year until it closed. He then attended the new T. P. Riley Comprehensive School and passed 6 GCE O-level exams . He had formed a group called The Rockin' Phantoms with school friends at the age of 13. With money earned from his first job he bought a Hfner guitar and an amplifier. Holder turned professional with Steve Brett & the Mavericks. The band made four singles for Columbia Records.
Don Powell (drummer) then persuaded Holder to join The N'Betweens. The group already included guitarist / bass guitarist Dave Hill and bass guitarist / keyboard player / violinist / guitarist Jim Lea and the four of them went on to eventually become Slade.
Lea and Holder turned out to have the group's most successful song-writing combination, composing most of the band's many hits. Holder was the lead singer and frontman of Slade.
Slade are best remembered for the single "Merry Xmas Everybody" written by Holder and Lea. Holder recorded the single with Slade in 1973, and the song became the band's sixth number one and the third Slade single to go straight in at number one in the UK chart. "Merry Xmas Everybody" has remained seasonally popular with partygoers ever since and is regularly included as a festive classic on compilation albums. To date, in the UK alone, sales of this song have exceeded several million copies.
Post Slade and acting career
Birmingham Walk of Stars on Broad Street, Birmingham
Since his departure from Slade in 1991, he has appeared in various TV shows, most notably The Grimleys (1999-2001) as music teacher Neville Holder, and had his own radio show on Piccadilly 1152 in Manchester in the 1990s and on Century and Capital Radio from 2000 to 2004. He also presented 31 editions of Noddy's Electric Ladyland on Men & Motors, was a team captain in BBC's A Question of Pop and was immortalised as a puppet on the TV show Bob the Builder.
In 1999 Holder's autobiography, Who's Crazee Now?, was published and is still available online.
He was awarded the MBE in 2000 for his services to music. The singer has also been the subject of the This Is Your Life TV show.
On 8 December 2000, Holder made a cameo appearance in The Rovers Return, on a live episode of Granada Television's Coronation Street, as a character called Stan, helping the cast mark the 40th anniversary of the soap.
Holder's voice was famously used in 2000 to record the lift announcements at the Walsall New Art Gallery. Director of the gallery Peter Jenkinson said at the time:
"We are delighted that Noddy has agreed to record the lift announcements so that generations to come will be able to enjoy the unmistakable voice of Walsall's most famous son".
In November 2004, he made a guest appearance in the second episode of Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere - where he played a garage mechanic called Mick Bustin. From 2005 Holder has appeared in an advertisement campaign for Nobby's Nuts and Crisps. Over the last twelve years Holder has voiced and appeared in many adverts for TV, film and radio. In 2006 Holder made a guest appearance in a music video for the Misty's Big Adventure single, "Fashion Parade".
Holder is a regular TV critic and reviewer for The Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie Show on BBC Radio 2, and the three often talk about rock star gossip from all eras. Radcliffe often refers to Holder as 'Sir Nodward of Holdershire'.
Holder was the third celebrity to be inducted onto the Birmingham Walk of Stars. 27,000 people turned out to his induction ceremony, which took place on 9 December 2007 at Birmingham's 2007 Canal Boat Light Parade.
For Christmas 2007, 2008 and 2009, he has recorded a TV show countdown of hit Christmas tunes. On 24 December 2008, Holder appeared on British TV's BBC humorous news quiz show, Have I Got News for You as a member of Paul Merton's team. In January 2010 Holder and his wife appeared on Celebrity Mr & Mrs on ITV where they won the jackpot for charity.
On 7 April 2004 in east Cheshire, he married TV-producer Suzan Price, with whom he has a son, Django (named after legendary gypsy jazz-guitarist Django Reinhardt), who was born in January 1995. From his previous marriage, to Leandra, Holder has two grown daughters, Jessica and Charisse.
