The STONES are a band of gifted musicians who celebrate the music of the greatest rock and roll band of all time, the Rolling Stones. The show has the look, sound and feel of a Rolling Stones concert, with a front man who looks, sounds, feels and moves like Mick Jagger himself. They are currently performing to astonished theatre audiences with their "electrifying" show, getting them on their feet, dancing in the aisles and shouting for more.

The band have put this show together the hard way, in much the same way as the Rolling Stones themselves, by immersing themselves in the early R&B music, which influenced Mick and Keith and the boys, as well as the great songs from Jagger/Richards catalogue and performing around the country to wild audiences, clambering to see and using every available space to dance to this great music.

Managed and led by JBlack, who has toured extensively with Theatre tribute shows in the UK, they have developed an exciting theatre show, which has the look and feel of a Rolling Stones Concert. The repertoire for the show draws mainly from the songs of the 60's and 70's, but is centred around the late 60's to early 70's period. The band is a natural fit to the Rolling Stones line up of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Nicky Hopkins.

From the moment you take your seat the atmosphere is established by the background music of early R&B pioneers that inspired the Rolling Stones. A sound montage of significant global events, across the decades the Rolling Stones have been performing, precedes the first chords of Brown Sugar and the show begins. All the number one hits of the 60's are in the show, as are many of the live concert showstoppers, such as Jumpin' Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Woman, Sympathy for the Devil and many more. If you like the Rolling Stones you will need to see and hear this band.

Who are these guys that dare call themselves the STONES? Up front Ben has been born with the look and voice of Mick Jagger, but has worked hard to study and research, the moves, phrasing, and antics of the greatest showman of them all. He is from a village in Derbyshire called Eckington, which has a link to the Rolling Stones as Mick Jagger's grandmother was from Eckington and is buried there. Ritchie has the role of Keith Richards, and is a unique 24year old, who lives in the 70's. He is no stranger to the music of the 60's either, as he has spent the last six years in a Beatles tribute band. As well as the 70's look he has honed the Keith Richards style of guitar playing and prefers the same blonde telecaster as used by the man himself. Jason is a guitarist's guitarist, and has spent the last twenty years touring the world with Dave Berry and the Cruisers, featuring his country influenced rock and roll guitar. He seems to have moved effortlessly into the role of Mick Taylor, but has spent many long hours studying the work of all the guitarists that have been part of the Rolling Stones. Jason and Ritchie have worked together to recreate that interweaving two guitar sound that Keith Richards and Brian Jones put together in their early days at their flat in Edith Grove, influenced by the work of Jimmy Reed. Steve is leading exponent of the electric bass guitar and has worked in several bands across the UK, but like all members of the STONES has now found home in the music of the Rolling Stones. He is student of the work of Bill Wyman, and of the early R&B players and has worked hard to recreate that feel and sound which along with the drums of Charlie Watts is the engine room of the band. Wayne is the epitome of steady, and a perfect fit for the drumming role of Charlie Watts. No frills and not too many fills, just solid rhythm to drive the band alongside Steve on bass. JBlack also performs with band providing keyboard support, providing orchestrations when needed and piano work, which is very much in the style of the great Nicky Hopkins, who featured on many classic albums from Between the Buttons onwards and on performed on stage with the Rolling Stones from 1968 to 1973.

The band was first put together by JBlack, as part of the first "Rolling Stones Festival" of 2007, in Eckington, Derbyshire.
