The SMILER team and Don and Pat Stewart would like to thank everyone who took us back in time on Saturday night…it felt like 197O’s all over again
What a true rock venue the Star and Garter is.. well done to the team who run it, the sound really was the best we have ever heard at a party!!
And what else can I say about the band but STUNNING they are one of the very best Faces tribute bands around, they nailed it from start to finish and later passed on this message to you all “We were very honoured to be part of such a great dedicated family who honour the man and The Faces Legacy xx”
..But best of all was the crowd.. FANTASTIC!
It was great to see so many long time members and so many new ones that it was a treat to meet for the first time, The atmosphere was electric from when the lights went down right into the early hours the excellent stylus radio DJ Mike Dee never once had to try and fill the dance floor…it was always full!
The SMILER team and our special guests Don and Pat were blown away with the response we got, you all made it one of the best SMILER Parties we have ever held
