I've read tons of messages about the 10.10.10 cancellation, it's a shame for John Hellier and Mark Cunningham. John Keeps the flame of the band for so many times, and I don't forget Mick Nutgone Taylor or Val Weedon. It's because of them if I've dug so deep to discover the magic world of the Small Faces. Honest, I don't know everything about the cancellation but I really wonder, what do they want. Jones and McLagan played with the Small Faces, Faces, Who and Rolling Stones. Would have killed many people for such a destiny and... They kill and smash John and Mark's work. Can't understand, absolutely can't. It's an insult to their very long time support.
It's the celebration of their music, Jones' drumming and McLagan's keyboards' skill... We were all very happy and ready to spend much money to go to the 10.10.10 event, ready to take boats or shuttle, book some expensive hotel rooms, etc. In any case, in any way, you have to respect the audience, you are nothing without the audience and some stars did'nt flight for long and if they had two or three great years they had to get back down to reality... I've met John once and we are friends, it's true, when I've met him with Simon Cooper in Baritalia Soho, it was absolutely wonderful... He told us (and Gentleman Bax was there too) many unbelievable stories about the Small Faces and Steve Marriott. Marriott came to a gig wearing muddy Wellington and he told the audience he was gardening all the afternoon and had no time to change shoes! Steve was Steve but he had humour and doesn't take him too seriously, he was able to say he was a bald fat hasbeen... I do think self mockery is a safe medicine... Even Paul Weller does it... Actually the real songwriters were, for sure, Stevie and Ronnie...McLagan said about the Faces : We were not revolving around Rod Stewart, we were revolving around Ronnie Lane...
So fans are better flame keepers than original members, it's really unbelievable... So John, Mick, Val and Weller himself keep the flame alive as many fans... I'm not sure they kept it safe... As said on Facebook, it was Marriott/Lane and their lucky mates... And they also cancel a benefit's event by the way... I don't even want to say a word about the "Faces" reunion... Everything is completely dreadful...Then the magnificent Cunningham/Hellier 10 10 10 became the 0 0 0...
