MICK JAGGER STOOD JUST FEET FROM A HANDFUL OF STUNNED DRINKERS IN AN OXFORD PUB, LEANED INTO THE MIC — AND TURNED AN ORDINARY NIGHT INTO A PRIVATE ROCK ’N’ ROLL MOMENT. With no giant stage, no light show and no warning, the Rolling Stones legend broke into an impromptu song as people around him watched in disbelief. The tiny setting made the moment feel almost surreal: one of the most famous frontmen in music history performing as if he were simply another musician in the room. For everyone lucky enough to be there, the pub suddenly felt a long way from ordinary.

The Rolling Stones frontman joins in with a student jam at the Half Moon in St Clements.

The Rolling Stones have decided not to tour their upcoming album Foreign Tongues just yet, but you can be sure that when they take to the road they’ll be playing the biggest possible venues.

Stadiums, festivals, perhaps the odd arena if they must – the Stones don’t tend to do things by halves unless there’s a very special reason.

But while they mull over their future live plans, frontman Mick Jagger has given his voice a workout in the most intimate of surroundings: a tiny pub in Oxford.

The Rolling Stones singer was in town with his long-term partner Melanie Hamrick as guests of Oriel College, where they had a meal at high table and joined students at Evensong at the chapel on Sunday (June 7).

And after the formalities, they popped into the Half Moon in St Clements performing during the venue’s weekly folk session.

“Sir Mick Jagger and partner Melanie Hamrick visited @orieloxford on Sunday as guests of the Provost and Lady Mendoza,” said Oriel College on Instagram.

“Mick joined students at Evensong and dined at High Table.

“After dinner and drinks in the SCR a small group went off to the pub where Mick gave an impromptu performance with Rolling Stones keyboard player Matt Clifford and Oriel Politics academic Robert Cheah.”

Handsome Molly

Jagger performed the traditional song ‘Handsome Molly’ along with students, having previously covered the track as the closer of his third solo album Wandering Spirit in 1993.

“The Half Moon prides itself on its authentic atmosphere and welcoming community,” Johnnie at the pub told BBC News.

“Our Sunday folk session has been going for many years and is open to everyone – whether you’re a beginner player or an international rock star.” ou never know what to expect at the Half Moon.”
