- RONNIE LANE DOCUMENTARY
IN THE WORKS!!!!!!!!
-
- For those of you who have not heard
the rumours, yes it is true! The Ronnie Lane documentary which
is going by its working title "The Passing Show" has
actually begun filming and is making great progress. Rupert Williams
who has been researching the project for the past four years
has begun to take the film to the next step and so far the results
have been very promising. Here are some more details:
-
- The Film will encompass the entire
life of Ronnie Lane from the early days with the Outcasts to
the Texas years, etc.
-
- A major issue has been the funding
which has been difficult because of the expensive archival footage
necessary to accompany the film.
-
- More footage of the great Lane continues
to turn up (Yeah!) (Faces, interviews, etc.) There is even some
unreleased music that has been uncovered and fortunately is in
the hands of the right people.
-
- There is a website address which has
just started www.passingshow.com that will hopefully soon include
transcriptions from interviews, stills, clips and archived photos.
-
- The following people have already undergone
filmed interviews:
-Stan Lane
-Charlie Hart
-Steve Simpson
(The day ended with Charlie and Steve playing 'The Poacher,'
completely unrehearsed and without having seen each other in
10 years!)
Also interviewed were:
-Kevin Westlake
-Bruce Rowlands
-Captain Peter Hill (Passing Show)
-Russell Schlagbaum
-
- -It appears as though the filmmakers
are trying to concentrate on the people who knew Ronnie very
well rather than on the big stars that did not necessarily play
a big role in his life. However, there will be opportunity for
those big names at an upcoming tribute concert (which might actually
happen this time!) Being a big fan of Ronnie's and a fan of Documentary
film, I couldn't be happier to hear that they are approaching
it this way.
-
- Starting next year the following people
are scheduled to be interviewed:
-Glyn Johns
-Benny Gallager and Graham Lyle
-Billy Nicholls
-Barbara Maurice (Russ' ex and Ronnie old secretary)
-Ron Chimes
-Eric Clapton
-Henry McCullough
-Pete Townshend
-Ronnie Wood
-Kenney Jones
-Boo Oldfield
-Alun Davis
-Every surviving member of Slim Chance has been contacted and
quite a few more of them are likely to be involved in one way
or another
-Still waiting for replies from:
-Jimmy Page
-Rod Stewart
-People that are trying to contacted:
-Roy Harper
-Ian Stewart's Widow Cynthia
-Bill Wyman
-
- -They willl be shooting at various
locations in Richmond including Ronnie's old flat, the Wick and
Wick Cottage,Willoughby House and by and on the river again.
They will also be filming various addresses in East London (Romford
Road, Ronnie's school, the British Prince etc.), Westmoreland
Terrace in Pimlico, Monks Corner in Marlow. Then they will be
going to Wales to film at the Fishpool, the Miners Arms, Drum
and Monkey etc.
-The following will all be filmed when they'll be in Texas/U.S
-Ian McLagan
-Alejando Escovedo
-Bucks Burnette
-Jody Denberg
-Rich Brotherton
-Sarah Brown
-Don Harvey
-Ronnie Johnstone
-Joe Ely
-more possibly
-
- -All of the woman in Ronnie's life
have or will be contacted and all will have an opportunity to
be interviewed if they choose.
-
- -Fortunately, the altruistic crew that
has been working on this film has been treated exceptionally
well and the response from everybody that they have been contacting
has been extraordinary and very encouraging to the filmmakers.

-
- This months Mojo reports that Hank Ballard, lead singer of
the Midnighters has died. Ballard recorded the original version
of the great "Annie Had a Baby" back in 1954 which
Ronnie went on to cover during his famous Rockpalast show. Like
Ronnie they obviously liked the name Annie as it was a follow
up to Ballard's million seller "Work with me Annie".
-
- Hank is also widely regarded as the uncredited originator
of the Twist. He was born in Detroit in 1936 and died on March
the 2nd of this year.
- If you want to hear the Midnighters version click on this
link (once there click on the record)

- MAC/BILLY BRAGG UPDATE:
-
- I was very lucky to catch Mac and Billy Bragg perform the
other night at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. Mac and Billy
played a heart warming version of Debris that would have brought
a smile to Ronnie's face. After the show, Mac told me that shortly
before this tour they had been performing Glad and Sorry. The
show was superb with Mac completely on. It was quite a special
feeling to actually meet a Small Face and close friend of Plonk's.
The Faces box set is reportedly finished with the exception the
original version of Ooh La La (sung by Ronnie Lane) missing.
Nobody is able to locate it as of yet. If you have any information
that may help in obtaining the original Ooh La La please email
Mac at mac@macspages.com
-
- If you get a chance, definitely go see Mac and Billy perform
while you can. It is a powerful, entertaining, and politically
charged show (Billy is super political, if you are not a liberal
please be forwarned) For upcoming shows, visit Mac's site for
further details:

KATE LANE IN HOUSEFIRE
Sad news today as Kate Lane, the former wife of Ronnie, was in
a terrible house fire. She suffered severe burns and shock but
she is now reovering and should be okay. The house which at one
time her and Ronnie used to live in together, was completely
burned to the ground. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kate
and her family.
