Join me for two hours of vinyl heaven featuring a free jukebox stacked full of 45s covering The Rolling Stones from their first steps with "Come On", "I Wanna Be Your Man" and "Not Fade Away" right up to "Don’t Stop" and "Streets of Love" PLUS a rare collection of one the Stones biggest recording influences, Chuck Berry, with "Carol", "Let It Rock" and of course "Johnny B Goode".

No need to flip the coin right into the slot, you'll always get what you want accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee (Brown Sugar of course) or a glass of wine. Be there or be square!

All fund raised will be donated to the Travers Foundation.
