The show is essentially a mockumentary of the Rolling Stones' colourful history from 1962. The repetoire, instruments and clothes faithfully match those of the originals, and their performance has been affectionately described as a masterpiece in 'fraud rock and hookey nostalgia'. The Counterfeit Stones have successfully toured the globe for nearly twenty years, and during that time have played shows with audience capacities of up to 60,000. Their many fans include Bill Clinton, Prince Edward, Lemmy, Mick Jagger, the Gallagher brothers, Jerry Hall and many many more.
The band formed in October 1991, and although there have been some personnel changes since then, the characters of course never change. They’ve played most major countries in the world and been booked by multinationals, British Royalty, and some of the most famous international celebrities. They’ve shared stages with Joe Cocker, Iggy Pop, Blur, ZZ Top, Bryan Ferry and many more. See more at www.thecounterfeitstones.com
