The Rollin Stoned

The costumes are shamelessly camp, gaudy and fab, the instruments genuinely vintage and the wit irreverent.

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 Rolling Stones shows in their prime.
