Summary
This week Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt welcome a true Mod legend to the show. How many people can say they’ve been in one great band let alone three! Well, Kenney Jones can! Drummer for The Small Faces, Faces and The Who, Kenney shares some excellent stories from the early days of being a mod, meeting Steve Mariott, rock and roll shenanigans with Rod and Ronnie and then getting the call to join The Who. But his greatest moment is surely flying Gary Kemp to Live Aid in his helicopter….This a good one!!
Rockonteurs is produced by Ben Jones for Gimme Sugar Productions.
