Slim Chance

Now some 15 years after reforming – and still ‘reformed but unrepentant’ – the band Ronnie Lane formed way back in the early 70s is still out there playing his songs with joy and energy. It’ll be nearly two years since Steve Simpson passed away, and the band, with Steve’s old mate Papa George in support will be celebrating his life and unique position in the Slim Chance family. Of course, there will be the band’s usual range of Ronnie’s time honoured songs, together with a few surprises.

Support from Papa George.

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.
