Fans of indie rock, trad and late-night beats will enjoy this weekend’s line-up at Monroe’s Live, featuring The Complete Stone Roses, Dee Armstrong and megaTRAD.

Known for their faithful recreations of classics like Fools Gold, I Am The Resurrection, and I Wanna Be Adored, the band go to extraordinary lengths to recreate the original sound, even sourcing a rare Rickenbacker 3000 bass, the same model used by Mani.
