The Small Fakers & Kast Off Kinks - Burnley Mechanics

The Small Fakers & Kast off Kinks

The Small Fakers were officially launched on a chilly night in February 2007 at a central London shindig attended by fans and associates of the East End's very own fab four, the seminal, sensational Small Faces.

Today, The Small Fakers are established in the Premiership of tribute acts. They have built a terrific international reputation for themselves as the only Small Faces tribute band in the world, and have played to sell-out audiences in Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the Republic of Ireland, and all over the UK. They have played the Isle of Wight festival four times since forming, and in 2008, the day after headlining the festival with his fellow Sex Pistols, bass player Glen Matlock joined The Fakers onstage to perform what many people regard at the Small Faces’ ultimate track, their 1966 number one ‘All Or Nothing’.

The buzz in the audience that night was intense. Could the SMALL FAKERS even hope to come close to replicating the sound, and the look, of the Small Faces?

Cut to the end of the night and the band have ripped through twenty classic tracks, from Whatcha Gonna Do About It to Tin Soldier with effortless style and swagger, and the audience is almost delirious with excitement, and satisfaction. The Fakers have delivered the goods.

The Kast Off Kinks brings together the music
and legacy of one of Britain’s most influential bands, with a line-up featuring
musicians who have been part of the Kinks’ remarkable story. Former members
John Dalton, Jim Rodford, Ian Gibbons, John Gosling and Bob Henrit have all
performed with the group over the years, and even Ray Davies has occasionally
Joined them on stage!

Today’s line-up features Mick Avory
founding member and the Kinks’ original drummer on their classic hits from 1964
to 1984; Mark Haley on keyboards and vocals, who played with the Kinks
from 1989 to 1993 and has also worked with the Rubettes; and Mike Steed
on bass and vocals, whose career includes appearances with Love Affair, Chip
Hawkes, Marmalade, the Rubettes and Mike Pender.

Completing this outstanding ensemble is Robin
Bibi on guitar and lead vocals. An award-winning guitarist with an
impressive reputation of his own, Robin has worked as a session musician with
an extraordinary range of artists, including Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, the
Pretty Things, Ben E. King and Helen Shapiro.

Together, these seasoned performers deliver a
fantastic celebration of the Kinks’ timeless music, packed with unforgettable
Songs and infectious energy.

Enjoy all the classics, from You Really Got
Me, Dedicated Follower of Fashion and Sunny Afternoon to Lola
Days, Waterloo Sunset and Come Dancing - plus plenty more
