Sir Michael Phillip Jagger, but more commonly known as Mick Jagger, is renowned as one of the founding members of the Rolling Stones.

You may not know that the member of this iconic band was born and raised in Dartford.

He was born at the Holy Trinity Church in Dartford and then, when he was old enough, he headed to Wentworth Primary School in 1950.

Wentworth Primary School is still open under the same name today and is based in Wentworth Drive.

After passing the eleven-plus exam, Mick Jagger then headed to Dartford Grammar School which now has the Mick Jagger performing arts venue in his honour.

The area now has Dartford Grammar School for Boys, based in West Hill, and Dartford Grammar School for Girls, based in Shepherds Lane.

When he finished school, Mick Jagger went on to study at the London School of Economics before leaving to focus on the Rolling Stones.

The Rolling Stones was founded in the early 1960s and at first, they played at a basement club opposite Ealing Broadway tube station.

It has since been named Ferry’s Club.

The band’s first UK hits were covers of ‘It’s all over now’ by Bobby Womack and ‘Little Red Rooster’ by Willie Dixon.

After being encouraged by their manager, Mick Jagger and his fellow band member Keith Richards started writing their own songs.

The pair wrote their first big hit ‘(I can’t get no) Satisfaction’ which established them as musicians.

Rolling Stones then started making albums such as Out of Our Heads, Aftermath and Between the Buttons, Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed, Black and Blue, Exile on Main Street and more.

In the 1980s, the band briefly split up after a disagreement between Jagger and Richards.

Both artists then went on the record solo albums.

However, by 1989 the Rolling Stones got back together and underwent their Steel Wheels album and tour.

There have been several films and documentaries have been made about the Rolling Stones and they continue to tour today.
