Stone Foundation on Friday 10th March 2023

Starting out in 1998 with the chance meeting of Neil Jones (guitar, vocals) and Neil Sheasby (bass), the band spent many years on the circuit with changing lineups and varying musical styles. Collaborations with soul legends such as Nolan Porter followed and eventually in 2011 they were given the first of many big opportunities when they opened for The Specials on their sold out arena tour.
2 albums later (and now with a settled 8-piece lineup), they attracted the attention of Paul Weller who produced and appeared on 2017’s Street Rituals (their first release on 100% Records). Contributors to the album included soul legends William Bell and Bettye LaVette. The touring cycle for Street Rituals included memorable gigs at the Royal Albert Hall (opening for Paul), Glastonbury and a sold out headline performance at Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Charting at #25 (UK), Street Rituals was described as the “soul album of the year” by Blues & Soul Magazine. The record also yielded 2 7” singles which charted at #1 on the Vinyl Singles Chart

Barely stopping for breath, in 2018 “Everybody, Anyone” followed. Collaborations with Kathryn Williams and Hamish Stuart featured, as did the first track featuring appearances from all 3 Style Councillors Paul Weller, Mick Talbot and Steve White for some 3 decades. The album had a harder, funkier sound than its predecessor and charted at #30 (UK). Live highlights featured a date at the Roundhouse with Mavis Staples and the 24-date UK tour included a sold out headline gig at London’s famous Electric Ballroom.

Changing style once again, 2020’s “Is Love Enough?” featured more of a neo-soul sound. Stand-out collaborations included soul newcomers Durand Jones and Laville, as well as a spoken word meditation from legendary Doctor Who actor Peter Capaldi. Despite promotional opportunities being disrupted throughout the pandemic, the band pioneered the concept of the online gig with their first such event taking place in early April 2020 well before the words “global livestream” became mainstream! The album was released to great acclaim and became the band’s third consecutive Top 40 record charting at #39 (UK).
