These four lads from the North West of England have been playing at sold out venues across the UK for almost a decade, delighting crowds with their uncannily accurate recreation of a classic Stone Roses gig. We’re talking 1989, when the Roses were at the peak of their powers, and Fool’s Gold spent 14 weeks in the UK charts.
The attention to detail is admirable, from the clothes and paint-spattered instruments to the Manc swagger and stage mannerisms, while the musical accuracy of their performance is second to none.
The set includes all of the Roses’ classics, including Waterfall, Made of Stone, This Is the One and, of course, I Am the Resurrection. Many of their shows have featured DJ support from icons of the Madchester era, including Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets, XFM), Shaun Ryder and Bez from The Happy Mondays, and DJ Dave Haslam (from Hacienda and Stone Roses tour).
Their biggest show to date was at Brixton Academy, supporting The Happy Mondays and The Farm, in front of an ecstatic crowd of more than 4,000 people.
The Stone Roses’ bass player, Mani, has offered the band an enthusiastic endorsement on radio by saying “I can’t believe it’s not butter. The second best Stone Roses in the world – The Clone Roses.”
You can’t ask for a better recommendation than that! So make sure you don’t miss them and book now!
