The Stones

We saw The Stones last night. Not "The" Stones of course...Malvern doesn't have a stadium venue so couldn't guarantee the lucrative multi-million pound earnings they usually generate. On the plus side, we do have a large number of nursing homes so they could have had a very comfortable stay!!

The Stones were actually rather good. "Mick" certainly had the look of Jagger and all the posing and pouting down to a tee. Squint your eyes and ignore the look of the others and you could have been watching the real thing 30 years ago. They played a really long set and didn't hold back despite there being only 80 people in the auditorium - most of them about the age of the real Stones and not many of them able to get up and boogie! In fact, the audience size was such that at the end of the show "Mick" jumped off the stage and legged it to the foyer to thank everyone personally for coming!
