The Rollin Stoned

The UK's No1 Tribute to the Rolling Stones

About Me


Please allow us to introduce ourselves..... We've been around for many a long year..........and in our time, been pleased to meet Doris Richards, mother of Keith, who's description of the band as outstanding and fit to stand in for the Stones was as good an endorsement as any could wish. Nor was there any puzzling daughter Angela about our game, it was eerily like watching my dad was her reaction.If you haven't guessed the name, we are the RollinStoned and, as modesty forbids, we quote the words of others, such as the Times reviewer who claims"to have seen them all", and who described us as, In my view the nearest thing to the real article, 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 - well we could go on but we'd have to get bigger hair for our heads - but you get the picture, its not just enthusiastic fans who rate the RollinStoned 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. To paraphrase another, who famously had problems with the buttons on his trouseres "Its the music stupid" and 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, nows your chance to see what all the fuss was about.a href="http://www.pimp-my-profile.com/
