The Forum are extremely proud to announce that Stone Foundation will be playing on Saturday 27th September.

Think of Sly and the Family Stone, Dexys Midnight Runners and The Specials. Then think again, because the clue's in the name. Their sound is a fine blend of all that has come to pass, from the blues and early R'n'B, all the way up through to soul and ska and the new wave, so theirs is a solid musical grounding.

Stone Foundations latest album, the excellent 'To Find The Spirit' was released beating Prince in the Amazon Funk chart and eventually placing at no.80 in the national album chart. This was achieved with no record label, no management and no major promotion, just the pure love of the fans and good old word of mouth.

With bands like The Blow Monkeys, The Specials, The Selecter and Madness having requested that Stone Foundation support them, they know they're doing the right thing.

Support for this brilliant upcoming gig comes from 2 of Teessides best bands, Weekend Sun & King Mojo.
DJ's on the night will be Martin Whitell, Anthony Pass & Dee Kett.
