Fancy dress and 70s glam rock

Fancy dress 70’s glam rock Noddy Holder style
Noddy Holder was the lead singer with Slade and had an instantly recognizable wardrobe. He wore bold checks, slinky shirts, and tall hats.  This makes for a great fancy dress costume.  

The Noddy Holder fancy dress outfit includes a pair of flared trousers, a matching waistcoat and a 70s shirt.  The shirt is shiny with puffed sleeves that were typical of the 70s.  The Noddy Holder tall hat is included. You can buy some great extras to go with your costume including silver platform shoes and a glitzy microphone.  Borrow a guitar from one of your friends, buy the inflatable guitar to go with the outfit or scour the children’s shops to find a toy one.  Most children’s retailers have a good selection of toy guitars that are good value.  Add a long curly wig to wear under the hat and your fancy dress outfit is complete.

Slade were popular and gave us one of the best Xmas songs of all time ‘Merry Xmas everybody’. You either love it or hate it but you can’t help humming or singing along to it at Xmas time!

Rock and pop music in the 70s were varied and gives you a host of styles to choose from for your fancy dress costume.  The 70s gave us Glam Rock with its vivid colours, bold make-up and a range of materials.  You can find something that will suit you from this category.  If you don’t care for the Abba clothes then maybe David Bowie is more your style with his glam outfits and face and body make-up. The Sweet , T-rex, and Wizzard are all great examples of Glam Rock and had wonderful costumes to dress up in.  Find someone who lived in this era and ask if they kept any of their 1970s clothes.  You may even know someone who has a wardrobe full of old 1970’s clothes that you can wear for fancy dress.

Irish troubadour Damien Rice doesn’t so much reinvent the folk genre on this lush, impossibly mature debut album as push its boundaries in several compelling musical directions at once–all the more remarkable considering the album was largely self-produced and home-recorded. His songs revolve around familiar, bittersweet concerns of life, love, and their attendant frustrations, but delivered with…

Led Zeppelin IV (aka ZOSO)

Guns, guns, guns! And a few explosions as bodies fly through the air and crash into tables and fruit stands.
