Just Mick Jagger I think, Keith Richards was Dartford High.
Jagger was DGS, Keith Richards was at Dartford Tech as it was then: which is now Wilmington Grammar. They originally knew each other (but not very well) at Maypole primary school in Dartford. The other members were from other parts of London, except Brian Jones, who was from West Country I think. Wonder if there will be some sort of tribute to him at Hyde Park next week?
Did anyone see The Strypes on the 8-9pm BBC3 slot yesterday. Irish band of 15 year olds. I thought they were bloody amazing for that age. Superb guitar playing & the front man was pretty cool. I would never have guessed they were 15.

Fair enough they were 15, didn't realise that.
Looked to me like they were trying too hard to be like the indie bands they grew up listening to (The Strokes in particular).

Chris Difford is involved with them somehow , on a managing level I think.

Really ? I lived next door but one to Chris for about 10 years as a kid.
He is indeed. The lads are all from Cavan and play some amazing stuff for a bunch of 16/17 year olds. They're also signed to Elton John's label and have Chris Thomas producing their album and played with Weller at the recent Record Day...some very influential supporters. Great that this generation is listening to and playing some old blues, rock and then adding their own slant on it.
Just watching Kenny Rogers in the Legends slot. Not my usual cup of tea, but songs I know from my parents as I grew up and can't knock the guy. He's certainly entertaining an audience of all ages and good banter too

Why are they being toted around all over the BBC they are the definition of mediocre.
They are also "0n" with Primal Scream on the 8-9 pm slot & were interviewed afterwards.
