Founded by Ronnie Lane, as soon as he left the Faces some fifty years ago, Slim Chance is still very much in action and continues to live up to its name as the ultimate good-time band.

This afternoon show will feature Slim Chance regulars, Steve Bingham, Charlie Hart, Frank Mead, Brendan O'Neill, and Geraint Watkins, supported by the wonderful singer, Siobhán Parr, ably accompanied by guitarist Rick Batey.

This show will be the last in an eventful year that has marked the 50th Anniversary of Ronnie's fabled Passing Show. The band has continued to tour, still 'reformed and unrepentant', and has enjoyed playing to its much appreciated hard core of dedicated fans around the country.

Expect a dynamic and festive show that will feature many of Ronnie’s classic songs – including Ooh la la, Kuschty Rye, How Come & the Poacher- a few surprises, and the band's increasingly rare mix of bonhomie and musicianship. Are you ready to party?!

Line Up

Slim Chance are a brilliant live band, whose members are all fine singers, musicians and showmen, playing an amazing array of instruments. The band is known for its pioneering use of fiddles, mandolin and accordion. Recently the Huffington Post described the band as ‘the real deal’, an ‘organic multifaceted collective’ ‘raising the roof’ at one of their regular London gigs.

Slim Chance has its origin in the early seventies, formed by the legendary musician and songwriter Ronnie Lane who had been a mainstay of both the Small Faces and the Faces before he went on to pursue his unique musical vision with Slim Chance.

Since then, the release of the film ‘The Passing Show’, the 2004 concert at the Albert Hall with Pete Townshend, Ronnie Wood and Paul Weller and the recent re-release of classic Slim Chance material by Island/Universal Records, have led to a resurgence of interest in Ronnie Lane’s music and his band Slim Chance.

The line up now features original members Charlie Hart, Steve Simpson, Steve Bingham, all accomplished musicians. They are regularly joined by guests including their old friend and fine drummer John Lingwood, Geraint Watkins, Jim Russell, Des Horsfall and more. Their set includes a host of classic Ronnie Lane songs including Ooh la la, Debris, The Poacher and How Come as well as original material.
