Small Faces fans honour Kenney Jones in Carnaby Street

This Saturday 8th September fans of the Small Faces, one of the most acclaimed and influential mod bands of the 60’s can come and pay tribute to legendary drummer Kenney Jones, as he will guest appear in Carnaby Street.

From 12pm until 4pm there will be live performances on stage in Carnaby Street from Mod artists; The Small Fakers, Darron J Connett and Redtrack. As well as DJ set from Eddie Piller.

2pm – Kenney Jones will unveil to the fans a Westminster City Council green plaque that has just been awarded to the Small Faces as recognition of their musical achievement. The plaque is placed on the Puma flagship store, 52-55 Carnaby Street.

The Small Faces share the plaque with their impresario manager, Don Arden, who sadly passed away recently. Fittingly, Arden first met the band in his Carnaby Street offices, and The Small Faces became very much part of the world-famous Carnaby Street scene.

Kenney Jones, Small Faces band member, “It’s great to see the Small Faces being officially recognised at this stage of my life especially when my latest band “The Jones Gang” had a No 1 in America last year. There’s a sense of reflection, when I think back to everything we did in those days and how the Small Faces was responsible for creating much of the mod music and fashion revolution in the UK. I guess although I’m lucky enough to still be gigging all over the world, I can certainly say there will always be part of me back in Carnaby Street”.

Jimmy Winston, Small Faces band member, “It marks a great moment in the history of Rock and Roll and the wonderful fashion link we all had with Carnaby Street and fashion as part and parcel of the process of evolution that bands and music, go through”.
