Raw Power (television Show) - Presenters

Presenters

Originally presented by Phil Alexander (then editor of Raw magazine) and Nikki Groocock, the show was later to feature Ann Kirk replacing Nikki Groocock in mid-1991. Ann Kirk was the producer of later episodes of The Power Hour and created and produced "Raw Power" and "Noisy Mothers". Phil Alexander was replaced by Krusher as presenter and also appeared in a segment entitled Krusher's Kouch (later in Noisy Mothers Krusher's Kosmos). The show was Directed by Andrew Nicholson and Jerry Duller. The segment would always start with Krusher's greeting of "Droogies, losers, strumpets and boozers" and featured CD reviews, competitions and irreverent comment. Krusher would usually be accompanied by a Jack Russell Terrier named Bullseye (who died in 1995).

Later editions also featured various bands presenting the show, including The Almighty, Thunder, Alice Cooper, Megadeth, Iron Maiden and Motörhead and later on Noisy Mothers, Sepultura, Pride & Glory, Extreme, and Paradise Lost. Raw Power/Noisy Mothers would film band performances and cover the major rock festivals such as Donington Monsters of Rock and Reading. Bands performances filmed include The Black Crowes, Blind Melon, and Megadeth. Raw Power and Noisy Mothers won "Best TV Show" category in all the Rock Music Magazines in Britain during its run on ITV.
