The Small Faces - a fanbase that's alive and kicking

It’s more than 18 years since Steve Marriott died after fire swept through his 16th century Essex home and yet, with the help of Facebook, the greatest of mod icons has become a hero to a fanbase more global than he ever had when he was alive.

On Sunday at the O2 Academy Islington, one of London’s most important music venues, around 1,000 devotees to Marriott and his band The Small Faces will gather to pay homage, having come from as far afield as the Far East and the United States. Many will try to recapture Marriott’s style through their retro clothing and centre-parted hairstyles, though the ideal high cheekbones are harder to replicate. “There are kids in their early 20s who will turn up at the convention and look like they’ve stepped out of a time capsule from 1966. It’s a bit of a fashion show,” says John Hellier, who is organising the event.
