TRIBUTE band, The Stones know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll, but they like it.

In fact, they’re even rather fond of it; and they’ll be spreading their enthusiasm to a local audience at The Swan Theatre, during this year’s Worcester Festival.

A spokesman said: “The legendary Rolling Stones were formed in London in 1962. The original line up of Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman was later added to, first by Mick Taylor and then by Ronnie Woods, both in turn replacing Brian Jones.

“Universally known as ‘The Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World’, they have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, with hits such as Satisfaction, Start Me Up, Honky Tonk Woman and Jumpin’ Jack Flash (to name but a few) known the world over. “

No wonder there are tribute acts, and since forming in 2007, The Stones show has grown into a full scale Rolling Stones concert, “leaving audiences mesmerised by its portrayal of the biggest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world”.

The spokesman added: “The complete show is awe-inspiringly authentic. Fronted by lead singer Ben, whose portrayal of Mick Jagger is uncanny, the sound, the look, and even the mannerisms are all there to be experienced in this two-hour concert. Performing the music of the Rolling Stones faithfully and accurately, with all the excitement audiences would expect, the show features all of the hits.

“Come along this August and see one of the greatest tribute bands in the world pay tribute to the Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World.”

The gig takes place on August 18. For tickets, call 01905 611427.
