About

The UK’s only tribute to the sensational Small Faces

The UK’s only tribute to 60s mod legends the Small Faces. Small Fakers are at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Saturday 5 April at 8pm. Tickets are £18.

Founded in 2007, the Small Fakers are a tribute to one of the most sensational British bands of the 1960s. They are as much a part of the soundtrack to the fabbest decade ever as The Beatles, The Stones, The Who or anyone else for that matter.

The Small Faces split in 1969 when lead singer Steve Marriott went on to have huge international success in the 70s with Humble Pie. The rest of the band hooked up with Ronnie Wood (later to join The Rolling Stones) and Rod Stewart to have massive success of their own as The Faces.

Interest in The Small Faces never went away. It was re-ignited by Jam frontman Paul Weller’s fascination with them in the late 70s and again in the 90s by Britpop bands like Blur and Oasis.

Today, The Small Fakers are established in the premiership of tribute acts. They have built a terrific international reputation for themselves as the only Small Faces tribute in the world and have played to sell-out audiences in Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the republic of Ireland and all over the UK. They have played the Isle of Wight festival four times since forming.

In 2008, the day after headlining the festival with his fellow Sex Pistols bass player Glen Matlock joined The Fakers onstage to perform their 1966 number one All Or Nothing.

In their 18th year of performing as the Small Fakers, they will be live at Norden Farm playing all the hits – including All Or Nothing, Lazy Sunday, Itchycoo Park alongside fan favourites and tracks from the 1968 No 1 LP Ogdens Nut Gone Flake.
