So right faces fan. Liverpool

Looking forward to this one. An excellent trailer with all the hallmarks of David and Caroline Stafford at the top of their game. A great choice. At last Ronnie gets a fair shake.

After reading books on Steve, Mac and Kenny, it's about time we hear Ronnie's story. Looking forward to it.

Mac and Kenney's autobiographies are a good read. What is the best biography of Steve?

@@frankshailes3205 I have read three biographies on Steve.. The first was "All Too Beautiful" by Paolo Hewitt who also wrote a lovely book on the Small Faces - "Small Faces: The Young Mods Forgotten Story". Paolo was a writer for a music paper and was contemporary, so is the only one of these authors who actually met and interviewed Steve. He is oviously a fan, so glosses over most things negative. However, some people have critized it for having factual errors, maybe, but it is well written and very enjoyable. I love this book best and have read it several times. I don't want to know the ugly things about Steve. But if you want the real story warts and all... The second book I read was -"Gallagher/Marriott/Derringer/Trower , their Lives and Music" by Dan Muise. As the title suggests the book covers four artists. This book has little narrative and the story is told mostly through direct interviews with quotes from people who were there. Very interesting. Lastly, the most recent book which just came out a couple years ago is "All or Nothing" by Simon Spence. This book is very dense and again uses the format of telling Steve's story through numerous interviews with family, bandmate and friends whose quotes makeup most of the story. I have a love/hate relationship with this book as in my opinion it seems to me that the author doesnt like Steve very much and puts a large focus on the negetive aspects of his personality. IMO of course, but I don't need to hear from every person who Steve insulted or was mean to. However, it is honest and thorough. This book is the most informative, I just didn't enjoy it much as some sections kept me up at night (like the descriptions of his death). It's honest, but not as fun as the Hewitt books. If you enjoy rock bios, here are a couple other related books I really enjoyed: "Best Seat in the House" by Jerry Shirley, drummer for Humble Pie. Jerry met Steve when he was just 14 and Steve saw his talent and mentored Jerry. Jerry drummed for Steve and was a close friend for many years. He tells many behind the scenes stories which are a lot of fun. Also, for more info on Ronnie, Mac and Kenney. I really enjoyed "Had Me a Real Good Time:Faces, Befor, During and After" by Andy Neill. This is a very enjoyble, dense and informative book. I recommend all of these books, some I have read multiple times. Some of these books are out of print, but I was able to find used either through Amazon, or other used book outlets. Hope this was helpful 😊

There’s a great documentary about Ronnie called The Passing Show. Just in case you weren’t aware.

@@PatriotSteve Thank you Steve. When I discovered Small Faces (during the Covid shutdown), I went a bit obsessive and watched every video, read every book and all interviews I could find - LOL. So, thank you for the recommendation, I have seen it and really enjoyed it. BTW, I did get a copy of "Anymore for Anymore" and enjoyed this also. Another good book with alot of info on Ronnie after the Small Faces is "Had Me a Real Good Time: Faces, Before, During and After" by Andy Neill.

P Steve ,passing time the doc where they interview that yank manager and his step daughter (holding her baby )?

Another insightful choice of musical prodigy by the Staffords. Looking forward to knowing more about the woefully underrated Ronnie Lane.

This music promo is the only one that has made me smile. I am looking forward to the book

Really glad to hear that. I'll pass it on to the authors. Thanks!

Can’t wait for this one to come out! Love all the Stafford books 🙌

Brilliant you tube promo, great cartoons and voice over Can't wait to read the book

This looks great!

Great intro. Looking forward to reading the book.

Roll on 17 August!

Great promo films promising a great book. The 17th August is engraved on my heart, well, it's in the diary anyway.

I'm reading Steve Marriott all or nothing online which is very worth while as its in the interviews words

The Passing Show is a documentary about Ronnie.

Wit and erudition = Caroline and David Stafford. Lucky Ronnie. Lucky readers!

Oy! Why no mention of Ian McClagan???? Still, looking forward to the new book on Ronnie!

Sorry - had to make it short and snappy. Mac enters after this video ends.
