I met Ian at the Lucky Lounge where he was playing one day, and thought we had a nice talk. He did mention a few run ins with the major figure in Faces, but showed his wonderful ability. I say I thought we had a nice talk. I bought one of his CDs, and he signed it for me. When I looked at it more closely a few days later, he had written--To a Real Twat. Oh well....I will chalk it up to his sense of humour. He will always be one of my favorite keyboard players.

Years ago on rainy Saturday, in the UK, and in the early days of having a pc, internet and email, I wandered across Ian’s website, Macs Pages I think. It had an email, exploring this new tech for some reason I sent one requesting the chords to Debris being a novice guitar player, and a Faces fan since a boy. He was in Austin, Texas, half a world away. Within an hour, he replied. Giving chord sequence, and an explanation of the song Ronnie Lane wrote as in this video. I was totally overwhelmed by this new tech and more so the fact that a hero of mine thousands of miles away had taken the time to respond. It’s now in a frame on the wall.

That is so cool. Everything I hear and read about those guys shows them to be great human beings. Except Rod of course, everyone thinks he is a tosser.

Ronnie Lane is such a beautiful soul a wonderful songwriter and a musician not been given the acclaim he deserves

[@norrisnonkin5283]

Ronnie, Ian, never to be forgotten. Small Faces forever!

[@timothyparsons8327]

Ian that’s tremendous! Ronnie would be proud.

[@stuartwright8766]

Miss this guy top bloke and man could he play

[@nazaholicable]

I am crying watching this. Magic music. Great stories told. Ronnie and Ian were great. And, as he says here Faces went on to tour with Mick Hucknall who was surprisingly a good fit.

[@garethmillard7005]

Mac - TOP musician and fun guy Spiritual Boy is a superb tribute to Ronnie RIP Mac , you and Ronnie will be having fun up there

[@lilmoe4364]

I heard that Rod Stewart had Ian's keyboard for a while, and when Ian got it back, Rod had sent him a storage bill.. come on, man.. anyway, this performance was great. I hear people tell stories of meeting Ian in a bar in Texas near where he lived, and hanging out and talking with him, and how he was a really personable guy, with lots of great stories, and I just turn green with envy. I should've been there, too ! Sorry he is gone, great underrated musician

[@tommyhunter9641]

Beautiful!

[@johnflannery3535]

Legend Ian❤️

[@oilygr1n]

Debris, is such a beautiful song, one of so many. Ronnie gave up part of his soul to everything he wrote that's what makes them special. As brilliant as the Faces were I still believe that the Small Faces (minus Steve Marriott) would have succeeded without giving Rod Stewart a break.

[@festersuncle6298]

I met Mac in Boston around the time he was touring with Billy Bragg. Kind and very cool to talk to. The real McCoy.

[@antonywalker3582]

I use to go Billy brag just so I could see mc lagan play didn't tell Billy that tho.hà ha

[@mchamis0]

@@antonywalker3582 \ havent clue

[@chancethadood]

ian is the kind of friend i want to be

[@lewisgreen1633]

‘April Fool’ is another classic Ronnie Lane song, shamefully underplayed on the radio and I agree with Mac here, no one seems to speak about Ronnie. He definitely should be in the Hall of Fame - there was a gentleness and innocence within his music - I’m biased obviously having lived in Seventh Avenue but he was a one off was Ronnie..
