The Small Fakers: Small Faces Tribute

On Saturday, 29 August 2026, Chalk in Pool Valley is hosting a night that leans heavily into the 1960s mod era. The headline act, The Small Fakers, has been performing since 2007 and holds the distinction of being the only tribute band in the UK dedicated solely to the Small Faces. Their longevity on the circuit is backed up by the fact that they have received the seal of approval from original members Kenney Jones and Jimmy Winston, which adds a layer of authenticity to their performance. For this particular date in Brighton, they aren't performing alone; they are sharing the stage with Maximum Who, a tribute to The Who, effectively turning the evening into a showcase of two of the most influential bands from that period.

The music planned for the night spans the full trajectory of the Small Faces' career. You can expect to hear the massive hits like "All Or Nothing", "Itchycoo Park", and "Lazy Sunday", which are staples of the genre. However, the band also digs into the catalogue for tracks like "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" and "Wham Bam Thank You Mam", catering to those who might be looking for the deeper cuts and B-sides rather than just the radio favourites. The venue, located at 13 Pool Valley (BN1 1NJ), is a familiar spot for live music in the city, and for this event, doors are scheduled to open at either 18:00 or 19:00, depending on the source.

If you are planning to head down, tickets are set at £23.10, which covers the entry and the associated management fees. There are some age restrictions to keep in mind: the show is for those aged 16 and over, and anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. It is a focused event for fans of the mod movement and 60s rock, providing a chance to hear these specific repertoires performed live in a central Brighton setting during the final weekend of August.
