Ronnie Lane

A vastly underrated legend & a true gent, but haven't seem him with a Rickenbacker before now. This was on tour with Clapton as Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance, looks like it could be a 12, or just the lights, a 460? I'd be glad of any info - Thanks.

A true legend - Ronnie would have been 65 yesterday. His solo, post-Faces, material is sublime.

When I run into Ian Mclagan at one of our shows, he always calls me "The Other Ronnie The Bass Player".

Not to derail, but the guy playing bass was a buddy of mine from my time working at the King of Corsica pub in Soho. He worked in the Berwick St market. I only knew him as Brian O'Veg (he sold vegetables in the market, there was another guy named Brian Bananas.) He used to tell me stories about touring Europe with Lane & Clapton on a cruise ship & said Lane was one of the nicest people he had ever met.

PS: Think Mike Scott of the Waterboys ever listened to this tune?

I totally agree. Being a Mod, I'm naturally a massive Small Faces fan but it's only fairly recently I've gotten into Slim Chance.
I always knew the song 'The Poacher' as Ocean Colour Scene used to cover it. But Slim Chance have some brilliant material.

A few months back I saw Rod Stewart in my local bike shop. He was buying his son a bicycle, but he seemed generally interested in my Mountain Bike. I really wished I'd asked him what Ronnie Lane was really like, but instead I just made some silly comment about Rangers beating Celtic to the SPL title!!!

I also read somewhere that when he got sick Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood paid for all his medical bills.
