Small Fakers - Amazing Small Faces tribute approved by Kenney Jones
An astoundingly authentic band that deliver the music of Marriott, Lane, McLagan and Jones with a passion and musical excellence. So good are the Small Fakers that Kenny Jones himself and Steve Marriott's sister (yes that's right) have both given their seal of approval. The Small Fakers' live performances really deliver on all levels. From the power and majesty of All or Nothing to the pop perfection of Itchycoo Park there's a real fun in the music and the mischievous glint in each of their eyes that anyone who saw Steve and the boys play will instantly recognise. The band has played with Kenny Jones of the Small Faces and The Who and the incredible vocalist that is PP Arnold famous for her work with the Small Faces, Clapton, Steel Pulse, Roger Waters and too many others to mention.The Small Fakers have played at The Isle of Wight Festival and tour the UK and Europe playing to sell out crowds on an almost nightly basis
