Slim Chance

Slim Chance, the band Ronnie Lane formed when he left the Faces, is treading the boards again.

Original members Steve Simpson, Charlie Hart, Steve Bingham, Alun Davies and Colin Davey, joined by Geraint Watkins, are playing Ronnie’s songs in the spirit of the band’s previous incarnations.

More renowned for his part in both the Small Faces and the Faces, Lane wrote some of the most heartfelt and haunting songs of the 60s and 70s. Shunning commercial success, he created and toured with his travelling circus, the Passing Show, and left a highly influential musical legacy.

Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott were one of the great songwriting partnerships of the '60s. Listen to the Small Faces' classics, Itchycoo Park or Lazy Sunday for example. The Faces became one of the great rock and roll bands of the '70s. Ronnie's next great venture, the Passing Show, was equally rich musically but not commercially or in terms of public recognition at the time.
