Press Release PRESS RELEASE “Please allow us to introduce ourselves...” The Stones tribute band makes first visit to New Brighton’s Floral Pavilion ‘The Stones’ are the UK’s No.1 and most authentic tribute to The Rolling Stones, bringing all the hits and timeless tracks to the stage in an accurate and faithful tribute to the sound and look of an authentic Rolling Stones show. Since forming in 2007, ‘The Stones’ show has grown into a full-scale concert which they will now bring for the first time to New Brighton’s Floral Pavilion Theatre on Friday 11 th September. Far from being simply ‘look-alikes’; ‘The Stones’ also pay great attention to the sound and feel of the music, all performed with the same accuracy, passion, energy and verve of the originals. Complete with authentic vintage instruments, costumes and mannerisms, the members of ‘The Stones’ are all experienced musicians in the world of festivals, theatre, and live music venues both nationally and internationally. Ben Wattam (Mick Jagger) is the frontman of ‘The Stones’. Appearing on stage since the age of three, from the church and school choir, to various covers bands, Ben then moved into the world of tribute bands. His first being a tribute to The Commitments, he finally found himself with ‘The Stones’ as Mick Jagger, giving his all on stage to capture the magic and energy of one of the first and greatest front men in musical history With a keen interest in Blues and early Rock and Roll, Richard Jordan (Keith Richards), has been a professional guitarist since leaving school. After travelling the world in a Beatles tribute band with his brother James, he has also played with other tributes such as Elvis, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly and the Travelling Wilburys, as well as writing his own material. Jason Wood (Brian Jones / Mick Taylor) was brought up on RnB, Rock and Roll and Blues music and started playing guitar at the age of 15, joining his first band at 19. Spending more than twenty years playing guitar as a ‘Cruiser’ with 60’s artist Dave Berry (Dave Berry & the Cruisers) Jason then ventured on to a new project with ‘The Stones’, playing guitar in the style of two of his all-time favourite players; Mick Taylor, and Brian Jones. -MORE - Bass was only thing Steve Bircumshaw (Bill Wyman) was interested in playing from an early age, he just loved the sound and effect of the instrument. His first big influence was Suzi Quattro, the only female bass player he knew of at the time. Soon after this other players who influenced him began to emerge....John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin , Andy Frazer of Free , Geezer Butler, but also old Motown players like Duck Dunn and Carol Kaye. Steve has played in many groups over the years and has spent a lot of time analysing the way Bill Wyman plays, his distinctive style, and his sound, picking up authentic guitars and amps along the way. James Jordan ( Charlie Watts) is the youngest member of ‘The Stones’. A now professional drummer for 12 years, James turned pro aged just 15. He started his Beatles tribute band, which saw worldwide success including trips to France, Belgium, Holland, Belarus and two six week tours of New Zealand. He has also worked with other groups and artistes including tributes to Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash and now of course, ‘The Stones’. -ENDS- NOTES TO EDITORS THE STONES: The Rolling Stones Tribute Friday 11 th September at 7.30pm Floral Pavilion Theatre, New Brighton Tickets: £16.50 concessions | £18.50 standard The Band : Steve Bircumshaw, James Jordan, Richard Jordan, Benjamin Wattam, Jason Wood For videos and gallery visit thestones.co.uk Book Tickets at Box Office 0151 666 0000 or online at floralpavilion.com .

Yet one crucial part of that story has never been fully told: the role of Brian Jones, the visionary who founded the band and meticulously controlled their early sound, only to be dethroned by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Tormented by paranoia and drug problems, Jones drowned at the age of twenty-seven. Drawing on new information and interviews with Richards, Andrew Oldham, and Marianne Faithfull, among dozens of others, Brian Jones lays bare the Rolling Stones’ full story, in all its glory and squalor. By far and away the best book ever written about Brian Jones. Paul Trynka interviewed over 100 people. He spends quite a lot of time on Brians very early days in Cheltenham England. He covers his family life, his social life, his rebellious life and most importantly his musical life. All this before he even hit London where he impressed everyone with his incredible slide guitar.

  • Keith Richards Has Memories to Burn
    UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05773954 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Ebeling, Betsy < B6 Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 11:03 AM To: Subject: for your mom Keith Richards Has Memories to Burn By JANET MASLIN It is 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time in the New York office of Keith Richards's manager, a place that might look ordinary if every wall and shelf were not crammed with some of the world's most glorious rock 'n' roll memorabilia. Mr. Richards has a 3 o'clock appointment. "Come on in, he'll be here in a minute," an assistant says — and here he comes in a minute, at 3:01. This from a man who once prided himself for operating on Keith Time, as in: the security staff ate the shepherd's pie that Keith wanted in his dressing room? Then everyone in this packed stadium can bloody well wait. The Rolling Stones don't play until another shepherd's pie shows up. Chalk up the promptness to the man's new incarnation: he is now Keith Richards, distinguished author. True, he is far from the only rock star to turn memoirist, and far from the only Rolling Stone to write a book about himself — very much about himself. The raven-haired Ron Wood wrote "Ronnie," in which he described Brian Jones as "me in a blond wig." Bill Wyman, the band's retired bass player and bean counter, wrote "Stone Alone," in which not a 15-shilling demo disc went unmentioned.

MUSIC – Muddy Waters, Rollin’ Stone via Spotify (Play 30secs then turn down) It all started with Muddy Waters. A chance meeting between 2 old friends at Dartford railway station marked the beginning of 50 years of rock and roll. In the early 1950s, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were childhood friends and classmates at Wentworth Primary School in Kent until their families moved apart.[8] In 1960, the pair met again on their way to college at Dartford railway station. The Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records that Jagger carried revealed a mutual interest. They began forming a band with Dick Taylor and Brian Jones from Blues Incorporated. This band also contained two other future members of the Rolling Stones: Ian Stewart and Charlie Watts.[11] So how did the name come about? Well according to Richards, Jones christened the band during a phone call to Jazz News.

    Gary James' Interview With Bernie Bollendorf Of The Rolling Stones Tribute The Glimmer Twins Ads by Google The Rolling Stones Keith Richards New Songs and Lyrics The Band Music The Glimmer Twins. Now there's a name that sounds familiar. It was given to Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It also happens to be the name of the Rolling Stones Tribute Act, The Glimmer Twins. Bernie Bollendorf, who portrays Keith Richards in The Glimmer Twins, talked to us about his group. Q - Bernie, one thing I've noticed is that most Stones tribute acts include a Mick Taylor guitarist, not a Brian Jones guitarist. Only The Chesterfield Kings had a Brian Jones guy. Now, why is that? A - Mick Taylor was the most versatile guitar player they had. That's when they hit their stride, with Mick Taylor. He brought a different element to the band. This fabulous Blues lead guitar player that they had never had before. Brian Jones was a multi-talented instrumentalist, but Mick Taylor, like Ron Woods, was like a breath of fresh air. Mick Taylor, fabulous player, but looked like a microphone stand onstage. Ron Wood comes in, not as versatile, but a great player and he's jumpin' all over the stage, jumpin' on Jagger's back. A whole new life. Mick never really interacted with Keith onstage. Keith had his back to the crowd. He was tryin' to stand up the whole show. (laughs). Q - Are you one of those guys that tries to learn everything you can about Keith Richards? When his autobiography came out, did you run to the store to buy it? A - My girlfriend bought it for me.

  • Made in the Shade the Begats Andrew Loog Oldham Begat Necrophilia
    Metamorphosis and Made In The Shade The Begats Andrew Loog Oldham begat Necrophilia. Allen Klein begat More Hot Rocks (Big Hits and Fazed Cookies) which vanquished Necrophilia. Bill Wyman begat Black Box. Allen Klein begat Metamorphosis, which vanquished Black Box. The Rolling Stones begat Made In The Shade. Necrophilia Metamorphosis is the album the Rolling Stones had nothing to do with and did not want to see released, it was also the culmination of a 3-year effort by the Stones to produce just such a compilation that began with Necrophilia. Hot Rocks 1964–1971 was a compilation album that had been released December 20, 1971 by London Records. It is also the best-selling release of the Stones’ career. In 1972, Andrew Loog Oldham, the Stones original manager, began compiling an album for release as the follow-up to Hot Rocks. It was entitled Necrophilia and it featured previously unreleased or, more accurately, discarded outtakes from the Stones' Decca/London period. Designed by Fabio Nicoli as a tri- gatefold album it used photos from Gered Menkowitz’s Between the Buttons photoshoot for the outer cover. The inside of the unreleased Necrophilia was recycled and used for the cover of More Hot Rocks (Big Hits and Fazed Cookies) in December 1972. 1.
