The Rollin’ Stoned

Rescheduled at the Milton Rooms after their spring show was unfortunately cancelled through illness, The Rollin’ Stoned are a tribute to The Rolling Stones, focusing on the early part of the band’s career from 1964-1969 including ‘Jumping Jack Flash’, ‘Paint It Black’, ‘Not Fade Away’ and ‘Satisfaction’.

The Rollin’ Stoned have been described by The Times as ”better than the real thing’’ and have been revered by both Stones fans for their authenticity and the real Stones who booked them for the band’s birthday.

In a Rollin’ 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, the band make sure it is never to the detriment of the music.

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 are 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 heyday, this is a chance to revisit lost youth. For the rest, it’s a chance to see what all the fuss was about.

“….probably more authentic than the Stones themselves would be inclined to muster”

“…about as true to the original as you can get.”
