The band toured for a total of 3yrs alongside Mani, Clint Boon/Tom Hingley & Oasis DJ Phil Smith & had many great nights together on tour. Some quotes from this period in the bands history are mind blowing, with Mani quoted as saying “They do the songs justice & sound better than we did before we split”. The quotes & reviews are astounding from their live performances around the UK & Ireland. The band reformed in Aug 2014 after a 10+yrs hiatus & sold out over 28 shows in a 12 month period. Their shows continue to sell out around the country. Resurrection perfect the sound from The Roses records/CD’s & pride themselves on this sound, not the Roses ‘live sound.’ Regarded as the best in the business and the only Stone Roses tribute worth the accolade. Dust down your bucket hats and flares to relive the 89/90 Baggy classics.
