Steve Marriotts Life in Pictures

As a massive Small Faces fan (and all things Mod ) Steve Marriott was an idol of mine from my early teenage years until his sad, tragic death in 1991. Like fans all over the world I followed his career (and Ronnie Lanes) and it saddened and depressed me that they both died virtually penniless, ripped off by people and an industry that should have been grateful for the musical legacy they created, which is as popular today as it ever was, if not more so. As a young Mod in the 1980s when I first discovered the Jam and Paul Weller I embraced the whole Mod scene with my entire being and through them I went on a musical odyssey and discovered the Small Faces, The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds etc. and I lost myself in 60s Mod music and never looked back. But the Small Faces have always held a special place in my heart and Tin Soldier is my favourite tune of all time and when I listen to it, it does something to my soul and the world feels right If you are interested in r
