Hello
If you are planning to come along to our next show at
the Hailsham Pavilion (Saturday
26th March at 7.30pm)
you might wish to wear your best hat and coat for the evening is being
filmed ready for a new DVD
scheduled to come out later in the year..........
The evening features the band Slim Chance playing the music of Ronnie Lane
Oh and by the way come that bit earlier for we will be showing a film of Ronnie's life from 7.00pm
and along with the goodtime music there will be juggling and Can-Can dancers! PHEW........
Ronnie Lane was a born entertainer,
humorous, emotional and spiritual, a troubadour
to the day he died (at the age of 51 after suffering from Multiple Sclerosis
for 21 years)
As part of the Small Faces, Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott
were one of the great songwriting partnerships responsible for such classics as
All Or Nothing, Itchycoo Park and Lazy Sunday.
Marriott went to Humble Pie, whilst Ronnie moved onto The Faces,
one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time, but he was soon to turn
his back on the jet-set glamour in order to take his music back to the people.
Whilst the Faces cruised from hotels to concert halls in limousines, Ronnie
with his new band Slim Chance www.slim-chance.co.uk
snailed around Britain in a raggle-taggle convoy of caravans, with a big top
circus tent, Can-Can dancers, clowns and jugglers.
Known as the "Passing Show" this was undoubtedly one
of the most ambitious tours of the 1970s and Slim Chance, the band that
undertook those tours, have reformed to once again tread the boards.
In between the various members have, or are currently playing with Eric
Clapton, Ian Dury, Cat Stevens, Ralph McTell, P.P. Arnold, Chris Farlowe, Ben E
King, Carl Perkins, Nick Lowe, Van Morrison and Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings.
They bring to the Pavilion Ronnie Lane’s goodtime music, a film crew,
for a dvd is being made of the evening's show, a film of Ronnie's life, as well
as jugglers and a troupe of Can Can dancers, The Pretty Little Horsebreakers. (pic
