KENNEY JONES
As the drummer with the Small Faces, Faces and The Who, Kenney Jones has been at the heart of three biggest bands ever to have come out of the UK.
SECRET AFFAIR
Formed in 1978 after previous incarnation as New Hearts. In a period of a little over two years, they posted five releases in the UK Singles Chart, and released three albums. The debut single Time For Action reached number 13 in the UK chart, putting them at the forefront of the mod revival movement. More chart success followed with Let Your Heart Dance, My World and Sound Of Confusion. They also drew up plans for a smart-dressing youth movement - The Glory Boys – based around the idea of 1960s gangster chic, influenced by the movie, Performance.
THE TRUTH
Formed in 1982 by the band leader of Nine Below Zero, Dennis Greaves and Mick Lister. Their debut single Confusion (Hits Us Every Time) went to No. 22 in the UK charts and was followed swiftly by A Step in the Right Direction which reached No. 32.
SQUIRE
Named after a shop called Squires which they originally rehearsed above. They released the first single of the Mod Revival genre Get Ready to Go in March 1979. Squire went on to record five albums and ten singles, including the sunshine pop album Get Smart in 1983.

Secret Affair formed in 1978 and released their seminal debut album "Glory Boys" the following year. "The Glory Boys" was a smart-dressing youth movement based around the idea of 1960s gangster chic, influenced by the movie, "Performance."
In a period of a little over two years, Secret Affair had five releases in the UK Singles Chart, and released three albums. The debut single "Time For Action" reached number 13 in the UK chart, putting them at the forefront of the 'Mod Revival' movement. More chart success followed with "Let Your Heart Dance", "My World", "Do You Know" and "Sound Of Confusion".
Secret Affair will be performing their debut album in full to celebrate the 40th anniversary of it's release + a selection of other Secret Affair classics.

Squire were named after a shop called Squires which they originally rehearsed above. They released the first single of the 'Mod Revival' genre "Get Ready to Go" in March 1979.
Fronted by Anthony Meynell, Squire released two fantastic singles for Arista - "Walking Down The Kings Road", with anthemic "Its A Mod, Mod World" on the flip side, and "Face Of Youth Today", and a fourth "My Mind Goes Round In Circles" featured Kirsty MacColl on vocals.
Squire went on to record five albums and ten singles, including the sunshine pop album "Get Smart" in 1983, and the groundbreaking "September Gurls" album in 1984, the title track a cover of Big Star’s then undiscovered classic.
