☆Small World☆ formed in 1979 by Chris Philpot, Mick Cohen and John Wratten and augmented by Andy Orr in August 1980. The band were influenced by 1960s guitar based groups like the Small Faces and post-punk new wave such as The Jam and The Clash.
Although the band attracted a diverse audience, they soon became a firm favourite on the Mod scene playing numerous headline gigs all over London and the UK. In 1982, the band released their first single “Love is Dead/Liberty” on Whaam! Records. The single quickly sold out and is now quite collectable. The second single “First Impressions” on Valid records in 1983. In October 1984, after a “farewell” gig at Islington’s Hope & Anchor, Small World were “put on ice”. This allowed the lads to pursue other musical projects which included The Combine and The Rage. In 1987, Small World reformed to play at the Assembly Room in Rotherham. The gig was a sell-out and subsequently the boys have continued to gig, on and off, ever since. The band released a double CD/Album on Detour Records in 1999 entitled 'Slight Detour' (DRCD019/DRLP019), this comprised of unreleased demos and the two singles the band recorded and is very highly recommended. Also available is a live album recorded in Japan in 2002
