the Rolling Stones
Formed in 1962, the Rolling Stones became one of rock's most definitive bands.
During their early years, the Rolling Stones were closely associated with the vibrant rhythm-and-blues scene in London's suburbs. A key venue for the band was the Ealing Blues Club, located in a basement on Ealing Broadway, where the group's members were inspired by the work of Alexis Korner and his band, Blues Incorporated.1
Additionally, the Stones launched their career with a significant residency in 1963 at the Crawdaddy Club. This venue was operated by promoter Georgio Gomelsky and was situated at the Station Hotel in Richmond upon Thames, which is located in the southwestern part of the London area.1
