feature film "24
Hour Party People" - the movie set in Manchester about Factory
Records, the
Hacienda and the "Madchester" scene, which stars Steve
Coogan as Factory Records supremo Tony Wilson. In one of the movie
scenes Fool's Gold were filmed in the Hacienda performing as The
Stone Roses, and although the initial plan prior to filming was
to overdub Fool's Gold with an original real Stone Roses recording,
the
producer and sound director were so impressed by Fool's Gold performance
and
accuracy in their sound that they decided to keep Fool's Gold recording
in
the film ! Now firmly established as one of the most justified tribute
bands on the
gig circuit, Fool's Gold have the style, attitude and vibe and are
the ultimate Stone Roses experience. Technically blinding and humorously
realistic, Fool's Gold are the
consummate tribute band with their masterful versions of "I
Wanna Be Adored", "I Am

Stone" and "Standing There" -
