Yes, we’d love to do that,’ the 78-year-old says. ‘We’ve got these songs that we’ve been working on from back in the day, but it’s hard to make our times tally.
‘When we do get a chance of getting in the studio again, we’ll finish off these songs. We’ve got a good body of songs going.’
The chances of the former hell-raisers reuniting were boosted earlier this year when Wood joined Sir Rod, 80, on stage at Glastonbury – and found their spark was still there after half a century.
‘Absolutely nothing had changed,’ Wood said.
‘It came over really well and he knows what he’s doing.’
Their reputation was so poor among hoteliers that they had to impersonate other bands to find a room for the night.
‘We weren’t allowed in any hotels,’ Wood tells host Lauren Laverne.
‘We used to have to check in as Fleetwood Mac.
‘It was all just one big party, the song Had Me A Real Good Time summed it all up really,’ he recalls.
‘The party would continue on stage and off. And back at the hotel as well.’
The Faces Supposed To Release A Wealth Of Never Before Heard Material soon. Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones unearthing previously unreleased material for Faces reissue campaign kicking off in 2024
Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones have all spoken of reconvening the Faces, the blues, soul and folk knaves who burned brightly and boozily from 1969 to 1975. There’s still no news, but Faces freaks will take ample comfort from a new reissue campaign kicking off in ’24, according to Mojo.
Formed in 1969 from the ashes of the Jeff Beck Group and the Small Faces, Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood along with bassist Ronnie Lane, keyboardist Ian McLagan and drummer Kenney Jones went on to play over 500 concerts worldwide as Faces before their break up in 1975, according to Bestclassicbands.
There has been talk from Jones that the surviving members—Stewart, Wood and Jones—were working on new recordings and a possible tour. a couple of those songs with a more modern feel. . .
Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood have been urged to re-form The Faces – by their wives.
Sir Rod and Ronnie teamed up with their old drummer Kenney Jones for a one-off reunion to close the Brit Awards. The ‘Ooh La La’ group split in 1975 and have reunited several times in the years since, though without the full surviving members of the original line-up until Sir Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones performed a charity show in 2015, a private gig in 2019 and a brief appearance at the 2020 Brit Awards.
Penny Lancaster and Sally Wood are pestering their husbands to make a full-time comeback.
"Ronnie has found some pieces of music and I've found other pieces of music, some are whole tracks, some are not, some are just bits."
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "We've done about 14 songs, it's a mixture of stuff we never released which is worthy of releasing and there's some new stuff which is really wonderful. Rod is writing the lyrics and he's really keen on it."
Kenney has also spilled on the Faces' live plans, revealing that the band intend to play several massive shows and are eyeing up venues such as The O2 in London and New York's Maddison Square Garden.
He added: "Whether or not we're going to go on a big extended tour remains to be seen. What we have decided is to do some really big gigs like The O2, Maddison Square Garden, some other big venues in America,
“The Faces are one of those bands whose reputation as a live act has only grown as the years have passed,” says Houghton. “The words ‘best gig I ever saw’ pop up time and again in the accounts in this book, because for rock fans of a certain age there simply was no one better than the Faces.”
