Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger And Ronnie Wood Treat Employee To Lunch
In London...

by Jason Gregory
Friday, December 05, 2008

Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts treated their longest serving employee to lunch yesterday (December 4th).

The band took tour manager Alan Dunn, who has worked for them since 1968, to Petite Maison restaurant in London.

According to the Sun newspaper, guitarist Keith Richard was absent from the lunch because he is the Caribbean.

Richards is currently working on his autobiography, which is due to be released next year.

the original source

ROCK Lords THE ROLLING STONES treated their longest-serving member of staff to a slap up lunch to celebrate his 40 years of service yesterday.
Singer MICK JAGGER, guitarist RONNIE WOOD and drummer CHARLIE WATTS paid lavish tribute to tour manager ALAN DUNN, who has worked with the band since 1968.

Absent axe-man KEITH RICHARDS sent apologies from his Caribbean holiday home, where he’s working on his autobiography.

Also present at swanky Petite Maison restaurant in London was Mick’s squeeze L’WREN SCOTT and his son JAMES.

What I would have done to sit in Keith’s seat with these legends...

Thanks for link, Gazza Cool

You are warning us about fashion? One for the books Grin

Since when do the boys care what they wear-except for Mick and to a lesser degree Charlie. And obviously Ronnie doesn't have anyone dressing him anymore.

Hey, that blue plaid was very colorful!

LJ.

Why would Ronnie not remain in the fold?

I guess I've been concerned that his behavior of late may have put a strain on things.
I'm just so happy to see them looking well, especially Charlie!!! Fabulous.
