MICK Jagger's ex, the supermodel Jerry Hall, once said of The Counterfeit Stones, "they're hilarious".

Now audiences here can find out if Jerry was right by coming along to a gig by the celebrated tribute act at The Artrix venue in Bromsgrove.

A spokesman said: "Why pay a fortune to see ants in a stadium when for a fraction of the price you can get up close and smell the heady brilliance of the Counterfeit Stones?

"For 25 years these pie-eyed pipers have delivered the best Rolling Stones’ 'rusical' on the circuit. Packed with big hits, outrageous fashion, vintage guitars and a huge dollop of “Spinal Tap” humour, it’s satisfaction guaranteed."

The band will strike up on Friday, January 20 and Saturday, January 21.
