Rock Artist Management Presents Touring throughout 2014

THE AMERICAN ICON GENO WASHINGTON & THE RAM JAM BAND SENSATIONAL SOUL AND BLISTERING BLUES. IN CONCERT

Always ready to rock the house, the King of the Swingers Geno Washington is the incarnation of all things '60s. Hipsters and flipsters, movers and shakers alike, are all rendered incapable of having a bad time, when the Good Time Guru gets his army of fans on the good foot!

The old Geno magic still drags them in and sends them home high.

Geno Washington is a genuine full-on cult hero… a legend on the 60’s Soul scene. He enjoys such status on the Soul, R&B and Northern Soul scenes, due to his unsurpassable reputation as a live performer. He is electrifying on stage and his love of performance (and of life!) makes him an inspiration, a joy to witness, and one of the greatest frontmen from the latter half of the 20th century.

Geno had two of the biggest selling U.K. albums of the sixties. Amazingly both of these were live albums.

‘Hand Clappin’ Foot Stompin’ Funky Butt Live’, was in the U.K. album charts for 48 out of 52 weeks in 1966. Incredibly, only ‘The Sound of Music’ and ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ sold more copies in the UK that year… a fact that is a clear testament to Geno’s awesome ability as a live performer who connects with his audience.

Slim Chance Touring 2014

SLIM CHANCE

Featuring Original members from Ronnie Lane's recording and touring line-up.

Touring throughout 2014

Ronnie always jokingly claimed that he found the musicians for Slim Chance in the pages of Exchange and Mart. In 2010 Charlie Hart and Steve Simpson trawled the streets of South London and miraculously found three more ex-Slim Chancers who were all keen to sign up again to the quest for Ronnie's musical holy grail. By gigging round the country the line-up has gelled into a fine band and become a powerful entity in its own right.

The aim is to create a show which celebrates the range of Ronnie's later music: to take this show to people in village halls and clubs, festivals and theatres at home and abroad; and eventually, joined by numerous friends, to resurrect the Passing Show itself.

STEVE SIMPSON

Worked on Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance, One for the Road. Steve also worked with Frankie Miller, Eric Bibb, Roger Chapman.

CHARLIE HART

Worked on Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance, One for the Road, Rough Mix, See Me, Rocket 69. Charlie also played with Pete Brown, Ian Dury and Eric Clapton.

ALUN DAVIES

Worked on Ronnie Lane's Anymore for Anymore and toured with the Passing Show. Alun also worked with Cat Stevens, Ralph McTell and Good Men in the Jungle.

STEVE BINGHAM

Worked on Ronnie Lane's Anymore for Anymore and toured with the Passing Show. Steve has also played with Geno Washington, The Foundations and Colin Blunstone.

COLIN DAVEY

Worked on Ronnie Lane's One for the Road.

He also worked with P.P. Arnold, Chris Farlowe, Ben E King and Charles Tolliver.

London Borderline

Joe Geesin, for Record Collector

This sold-out show saw the launch of the band's new single, One For The Road, an old Lane classic, backed with Flags And Banners, co-written with Rod Stewart. The show mixed Faces and Ronnie Lane/Slim Chance material with aplomb; the band were clearly tightly rehearsed and enjoyed it too. The enthusiastic reception ensured that Last Orders and You're So Rude went down as well as Anniversary, Don't Try To Change My Mind and You Never Can Tell. From mod to blues to rock'n'roll, the sound was solid, yet smooth. The underlying feel of R&B-meets-Americana meant everything across the two sets ran seamlessly. Charlie Hart's accordion bolstered the sound nicely, and bassist Steve Bingham nodded along as if they were playing in your front room.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

1 April 1946 – 4 June 1997

 

In 2012 Slim Chance performed at Glastonbury, the reaction was extraordinary.
