Of all the classic British bands from the 1960's perhaps the band who have been dealt the most unfair deck has been the Small Faces. Rather unjustly viewed as a mere forerunner for Humble Pie and The Faces by many, or just a vehicle of convenience for two of the finest singers to have been produced in these isles in Rod Stewart and Steve Marriott, their own more than ample achievements seem to lie...

I was listening to Brian Matthews' Sounds of the Sixties on Radio 2 this morning in the bathroom (on a 26 year-old radio) when he played a Humble Pie album-track version of Buddy Holly's 'Heartbeat'. Yes, it has been made over-familiar by the television series but this was distinctively Humble Pie and later I looked it up on Spotify - and it isn't here. No doubt it's for complex contractual reasons,...

It’s more than 18 years since Steve Marriott died after fire swept through his 16th century Essex home and yet, with the help of Facebook, the greatest of mod icons has become a hero to a fanbase more international than he ever had when he was alive.

The former Herd and Humble Pie guitarist re-emerged in 1975 with a contraption attached to the microphone which he ‘chewed’ to get a wah-wah effect out of his guitar. The band looked much like the New Seekers only with more hair. Nearly every pub band in Christendom played this number (usually using a wah-wah pedal), even [...]

After leaving the hugely successful Small Faces in early 1969, Steve Marriott formed Humble Pie with Peter Frampton (Herd - guitar/vocals), Greg Ridley (Spooky Tooth - bass) and Jerry Shirley (Valkyrie - drums). The new ‘super group’ attracted considerable media attention and quickly decamped to Essex, using Steve’s cottage in Moreton and a nearby village hall for writing and rehearsal...

The Small Faces was a mod group founded in 1965 and included Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane. They were very influential in my youth and had a string of hits including Itchycoo Park , Lazy Sunday, All or Nothing and Tin Soldier . After they disbanded Steve helped form Humble Pie (1969-1975 and 1980-1981) I like Black Coffee A very R&B tune is Thirty Days In A Hole Steve was influenced from an early...

Web video has all but killed the live album as a cultural tour de force. Once upon a time, even Dead fans had to sneak their recording devices into the arena. Today, all it takes is an iPhone and, with a few clicks, you can upload it to YouTube, and share it with the world.
