The Small Faces Honoured For Contribution To Music

The Small Faces have been honoured for their career long contribution to music in London.

A commemorative plaque has been placed on the wall of the band’s management offices in Carnaby Street to signify the achievement.

The band’s original drummer, Kenney Jones, attended the unveiling ceremony yesterday (September 4th).

“One of the sad things about today is that Steve Marriot, Ronnie Lane and Don Arden would have loved to be here and take part. It’s a bit of a sad day yet it’s a bit of a spiritual day,” Jones told the BBC. “I only wish they were here to enjoy this moment with me.”

Jones added that he thought the location of the plaque was fitting despite the bands hostile split from their manager Don Arden in the 1990's.

“The campaign was headed by a lady called Val Weedon who worked in our management offices here with Don.

“One great thing about Carnaby Street is there’s a common Mod theme that runs through every shop. It goes to show that the Mod look will never die, especially in Carnaby Street.”
