Live Local Music, Artists & Venues

The Small Faces played the Locarno 23/7/1966 and 29/6/1967 In addition to that, during 1966 - 67 they played The Coventry Theatre x 2, The Gaumont Theatre x2 and the single gig at the Matrix. I don't think the Faces could face the prospect of playing in Coventry?

It would have been either 66 or 67 I saw them at the Locarno. The local group I remember was Jigsaw. We danced to them several times at Walsgrave. The lead singer used to come and dance with me and the drummer fancied my cousin I used to go around with then, the pub I was thinking of is opposite the Windmill now called the Quality Hotel.

My bad re the Tollgate, I meant to say The Sportsmans Arms?

I always loved Tin Soldier, especially a version on Top of the Pops with P. P. Arnold

Hello, All this dancing around, "Anyone seen my P.E. kit? " Dad, is this film going to be an X? " "No son. It's going to be a PG, ha, ha!" PG Tips Adverts. I'm mixed in my opinions about the use or exploitation of animals. Exploitation with harm a definite no no, but interaction with animals, if the animals are content or enjoying what they are involved in I'm sure that I'm ok with that.

Saw some good groups at Cov Theatre. Particularly remember The Trogs, Reg Presley in his red and white striped suit singing Wild Thing

It would have been the Small Faces in either 66 or 67. Yes, The Sportsman's Arms sounds about right, it is now called Quality Hotel which is not so interesting. The French Rugby team were in there one night and bought us a drink.

We earned our senior moments! We saw Ian McLagan at a local club here in Vienna Va. about a month before he died. He had a rant at Steve Marriott. Both he and Ronnie Lane were really mad at him for not helping Ronnie when he was wheelchair bound with, I think, muscular dystrophy.

Steve Marriott! Loved that deep throated voice of his. Best song? What'Cha Gonna Do About It! In the end he died alone and penniless.

The Small Faces only number 1
