Slim Chance Water Rats June 2026

Founded by the great Ronnie Lane after he left the Faces, Slim Chance is still going strong, redefining rock and roll and continuing to live up to their name as the ultimate good-time band. The show features many of Ronnie's classic songs - including Ooh la la, How Come and The Poacher plus a few surprises - a rare mix of bonhomie and fine musicianship.

The band now regularly performs as a quintet, including original members Steve Bingham and Charlie Hart with fine support from Geraint Watkins, Frank Mead and Jim Russell or Brendan O'Neill.  This year they have played The UK Americana Festival, Esher Theatre and the New Forest Folk Festival as well as regular club dates up and down the country.

The band came together ('reformed and unrepentant') back in 2010 following the successful 2004 Albert Hall Ronnie Lane commemoration concert.  Since that time they have played extensively round the country and released 5 albums, the latest of which was recorded in Sheffield earlier in 2024.  They are all now distributed by the Last Music Company.
