Can You Show me a Dream - The Ronnie Lane Story
Following on from their widely acclaimed Steve Marriott
biography All Too Beautiful Paolo Hewitt & John Hellier
plan to publish the first full scale biography of Ronnie
Lane. Marriott’s “All Too Beautiful” was widely
acclaimed as the last word on the subject and this
Ronnie Lane book will sit very comfortably alongside it.
The book will be published by Griffiths Publishing and
with your support, the aim would be to publish it in May
2017.
The book will be signed by Paolo & John.
Every subscriber will have their name printed in the
book.
To accompany the book we not only have some unique
items but are pleased to announce a very rare item – a
never before heard tape which features Ronnie recorded
in 1964 with his band The Outcasts.
“About 20 years ago a guy called George Cambridge
contacted me out of blue and told me that he used to be
in a band with Ronnie Lane and Kenney Jones called The
Outcasts. This was in 1964, a whole year before the
Small Faces were formed. I was interested, of course, to
hear what he had to say and went to visit him at his
house near Southend on Sea. We spent a fabulous couple
of hours chatting about the Outcasts and just before I
left he quite casually said “Hey I’ve still got a reel
of tape from one of our rehearsal sessions in my Mums
house in the East End”. WHAT!!!!!! “Yeah, it’s just been
in a drawer for the last 36 years, I can’t even play it
as I haven’t got a reel to reel player anymore”. He very
kindly let me take it away and I took it to a specialist
shop that transferred the contents to CD for me. This
was in 1996. He assured me that nobody outside of his
house would have ever heard it, not even Ronnie and the
other band members. Can you just imagine how I felt
whilst putting the CD into the player for the first
time. My expectations were fulfilled 500 times over!
There was the 17 year old East End Mod taking lead
vocals on a Bo Diddley cover complete with wailing
harmonica and also a couple of self penned songs that
have never seen the light. I played it a few times and
then just left it myself safely in a drawer…… until now.
There is also light hearted banter between songs and
although it’s obviously got a very amateur-ish feel to
it, it also has a charm all of it’s own. For Ronnie
Lane/Small Faces/Faces fans the world over this is
surely THE HOLY GRAIL.
