The Rollin Stoned in concert listings

Rollin now for 10 years and still counting and in that time the ‘Stoned’ have been generously endorsed by Keith Richards late mother, who enthusiastically described the band as “outstanding” and suitably fit “stand-ins for the Stones” “it was eerily like watching my dad” was the comment from his eldest daughter, Angela on Keith’s doppelganger, Keith Reched. It is no surprise then to fin The Rollin’Stoned lauded in the words of one “Times” reviewer – who claims to have seen them all – as “In my view the nearest thing to the real article”, “the overall sound” said rock criti David Sinclair, in his four star ‘First Night’ review in The Times, “... was probably more ‘authentic’ than the Stones themselves would be inclined to muster....”

So it’s not just the thousands of enthusiastic fans who rate The Rollin’Stoned so highly, it is the people in the know from the Stones inner circle. 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 with their act, never is it at the expense of the music. What clearly comes across when seeing this band at work is the passion they all have for the music. Their two hour shows include not only all the classic crowd pleasing hits, but are 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 of you who witnessed the Stones - Brian Jones et al - in their hey Day (and if you recall it you probably weren't there), this is a chance to revisit lost youth, for the rest, now is your chance to see what all the fuss was about.
