Rolling Stone to play Vicar Street...

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood is to play a once of gig in Dublin on December 8th ShowBizIreland.com can reveal.

The aging rocker who now lives in County Kildare with his wife Jo will perform solo in Dublin's Vicar Street venue which has recently hosted private gigs for Van Morrision, Noel Gallagher and Sinead O'Connor.

Ronnie Wood is more then just as member of the Rolling Stones. The eminent all-round artist was born in Hillingdon, Middlesex, in 1947 and is not only an expert bass, drum, saxophone and pedal steel player, but also a successful and respected painter whose work has been featured in exhibitions all over the world.

His oil paintings, wood engravings, etchings and lithographs are recognised works of art that are very much sought after by connoisseurs.

The devoted family man and father of four lives in London and Ireland and uses every free minute that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts allow him next to the Stones' studio productions and extensive tour activities to indulge in his diverse musical inclinations.

On his most recent album, 'Not For Beginners', the seventh in his career to date, he again brought together friends and personal heroes.

The country-inspired acoustic guitar track, 'What Do You Think', is a duet with Kelly Jones of Stereophonics, on 'Interfere' and 'King Of Kings' Wood gets together with his long-time friend, Bob Dylan, once more.

Particularly exciting for historically interested music fans is the cooperation with Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana of the original Elvis Presley Band on 'Interfere', and the renewal of his musical liaison with Ian MacLagan of The Faces, with whom Wood played between 1969 and 1974, on 'Are You Behaving?'

The fact that Ronnie has passed his great musical talent on to his children is proved by his daughter Leah Wood on 'This Little Heart', a particularly memorable piece of music. 'Not For Beginners' was produced in Woods' own studios in County Kildare in Ireland and Kingston-Upon-Thames in England.

The warm, rich sounds on the album are probably best characterised on one of the new tracks: 'Heart, Soul & Body' affects the whole body, like most numbers that Wood has come up with in his thirty-year career as a rock musician.
