We
hope you've got the name and if you're puzzled by our game,
why not take a look at some of the things that have been said
about us, “.... the nearest thing to the real article”
was the view of one reviewer who claims to have seen them
all in 'The Times', “.... about as true to the originals
as you can get” raved another and “Just like the
real thing” enthused rock star photographer Gered Mankowitz
at his recent private view. Indeed Keith Richards' own mother,
Doris, was kind enough to describe us as “outstanding”
and fit to “stand in for the Stones” which is about
as good an endorsement as any could wish. Well we could go
on, but you get the picture, it’s not just enthusiastic
fans who rate the Rollin’Stoned so highly, it is the
people in the know and those from the Stones' inner circle.
With
a Rolling'Stoned show, the costumes are shamelessly camp gaudy
and fab, the instruments genuinely vintage and the wit irreverent.
However while the tongue is never far from the cheek we make
sure it is never to the detriment of the music. This band
is not to be confused with the grotesque parody on parody
'Stella Street'-Lite Stones bands that abound, nor a bunch
of seasoned old pros, opportunistically hitched on to the
“Tribute Bandwagon” for an easy ride. What clearly
comes across to audiences seeing the band at work is the passion
we all have for the music of what is, cliche or not, "The
Greatest Rock'n'Roll Band" the world has seen.
A
typical two hour show includes not only all the classic crowd
pleasing hits, but is spiced with enough eclectic selections
from the deeper recesses of Stones Album archives to satisfy
the most demanding of “Buffs”, all performed with the same
vibrantly authentic attack and raw energy that characterised
the original Stones shows in their prime.
For those who witnessed
the Stones - Brian Jones et al - in their hey Day, this is
a chance to revisit lost youth, for the rest of you, now’s
your chance to see what all the fuss was about.
