The Roadies:

Pete Buckland (28), chief roadie and tour manager. Trained as an engineer, he first went on the road with the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation and has been with the Faces ever since they reformed minus the “Small” and Steve Marriott.

Royden Walter “Chuch” Magee III (25), from Oxford, Michigan, was managing the In Club in Van Wert, Ohio, when he met Russell U. “Russ” Schlagbaum (23) from Ottoville, Ohio, lead singer with the Blueberry Circus. They subsequently worked for several bands, including Frijid Pink, and formed Rent-A-Roadie before meeting the Faces in San Antonio, Texas, in 1971. Chuch joined the road crew that October and Russ hitched up the following July.

Andy Mills (22), left school at 16 to become a motor mechanic in Watford, Herts. As a roadie he worked his way up from $50-a-night bands to Black Sabbath, the Incredible String Band and Stonegtound, then spent six months working for John Morris at London’s Rainbow Theatre. He joined the Faces crew just for this tour.
