I used to watch Raw Power every week back in the early nineties, even taped most of them. Only the other day I was actually going through my old VHS tapes and found LOADS of episodes of Raw Power and Noisy Mothers (which this went on to become after Raw Magazine closed down).

Used to have great band interviews and great videos (remember these were the days before MTV2, Kerrang channel, Scuzz, etc).

The original hosts were Phil Alexander and Nikki Groocock (who's not actually mentioned in this IMDb entry). Some time in '91 Nikki was replaced with Ann Kirk (not as good in my opinion). Sometime after that, probably around '93 ish, Phil Alexander was replaced with Krusher (who already had a slot called Krusher's Cosmos with Bulsey the dog... Rock Hard, Rock Heavy, Rock Animal!!).

Raw Power eventually changed it's name to Noisy Mothers. This was around the time that I lost interest really, probably as I had Sky TV and watched MTV a bit more.

I think Raw Power was originally based on a show called The Power Hour, this wasn't shown in my ITV region though (Wales). In fact the first ever episode of Raw Power shown on ITV Wales was halfway through an A-Z countdown on N for Nuclear Assault (they played Trail Of Tears).

Gwyn William's if you still have these episodes I am hoping beyond hope that 1 you have the episode from a Leeds venue.... Think it was the Warehouse which Kiss of the Gypsy was the main band. And 2 you would be willing to make me a copy...... I will pay for it!

I was on that episode, dancing on it. Think I was about 20 then. My son's are desperate to see it as sadly I don't have any pictures or anything from my childhood so they'd love to see their 50 year old mum as a young person!

Hoping you can help! Xxx
