SOME people would question why the Stone Roses should be, ahem, resurrected, but for the rest of the world the number one tribute to the band will play the Soundhouse, on Friday.

The Clone Roses play all the Manchester band's classics, including Waterfall, Fools Gold and I Am The Resurrection.

Lead singer Gavin Scott's voice has been described as "uncannily" like Ian Brown and the band do an expert job of recreating the vibe of a Stone Roses concert.

The band have recently done a number of huge successful shows with support DJs such as Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets), Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays) and Bez (Happy Mondays) and their shows regularly attract large audiences.

They recently played their biggest show to date at the Brixton Academy in London as support to The Happy Mondays and The Farm.

Asbo and The Phonophobics support.

Admission is £8 on the door, or £7 with a ticket.

Tickets are available from the Albert Halls Box Office or by ringing 01204 334400.
