The Vendors Concert History

In 1964, future Sladedrummer Don Powell and guitarist Dave Hill were part of a Midland-based group called The Vendors. Regulars on the club circuit, they had also recorded a privately pressed four-track EP. After listening to American blues artists such as Sonny Boy Williamson II, John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf, The Vendors decided on a change of direction and name: As The 'N Betweens they gained greater recognition and began to get supporting gigs with acts such as the Hollies, the Yardbirds, Georgie Fame and Spencer Davis.
