The FACES - Ronnie Lane at his songwriting best . . . . . . 



Now the Faces meant a great deal to me too and I went through a phase of really being into them and recall hitching to Leicester Poly to see them with my old friend Sarah Harris from Eynsham and Witney College days . . . . . . we loved that band. They came on to no announcement in Leicester just Rod saying "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Matteus Rosé Ltd! Now here's a number you may not know it and if you don't know it I really don't know were ya BIN?!" straight into McCartney's 'Maybe I'm Amazed! . . . . . . . Bliss but we dug Ronnie most somehow and once he had gone we left that nonsense behind too . . . . . . . .

About Me

My photo
Andy Swapp
These pages are where since 2006 I come to largely share some musical references to the blogosphere (other music bloggers). I search a large number of sources daily for ROIOs and what we used to call bootlegs, (not official albums faked by charlatans to sell but live recording and concerts that would not be published anywhere else) and I post links to an eclectic bunch of musicians so that I hope it has broad appeal. I do NOT feature sites that charge money for any of this and if these change ever please let me know and I will delete them. It is not my intention to do anything other than share links to sites featuring ROIOs and I do not house any files myself here, This is my idea of musical fun and to relieve the stresses of daily life I also share links to articles, pictures, art or photography as was my background and training and first degree (Fine Art). Those that I have enjoyed or mean something to me and interspersed with occasional general ramblings on the world around me!
