IN February 1973 rock legends The Rolling Stones played across two scorching days at Kooyong Tennis Club in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
The event went down in history, and 50 years on, a tribute act made up of a group of well-known Australian musicians will be coming to Bendigo in November to mark the half-century.<\/p>\n
As part of the show Hunters & Collectors brass player Jack Howard will be on the horn.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve kind of had a Stones re-education over about the last 10 to 12 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Howard said he was rapt at the makeup of the band, which includes well known names from Australian music, including You Am I frontman Tim Rogers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very exciting, and to be up on stage playing with a band as good as this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are really amazing horn arrangements, and it gave me an opportunity to really get inside all of those songs which was a great experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cDavey Lane, Andre Warhurst, Steve Hadley on bass is incredible, and the Wolfgramm sisters sing as well, and they are phenomenal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd of course, Tim out there just being the incredibly natural and exuberant performer that he is.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last show we did he actually started unbuttoning my shirt as I was playing the trumpet up on stage because he was half naked of course, as he always is, so it was a real lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
