Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards statues unveiled in Dartford, Kenthometown
Caption: On Wednesday 9 August 2023, Leader of the Council, Jeremy Kite MBE, joined sculptor Amy Goodman and Keith's family to unveil 'The Glimmer Twins' sculpture to guests and the public at One Bell Corner in Dartford. The work, depicting the pair mid-performance, was paid for through a public art contribution by Bellway London's Copperhouse Green development on Lowfield Street. Together, the Dartford natives went on to take the world by storm. Sculptor Amy Goodman said, "This has been a really unexpected dream commission.”. “To get the opportunity to sculpt these icons whose music I absolutely love has been overwhelming, mind-blowing and emotional.” "Playing their music, surrounding myself with their material while I sculpted them helped a lot and I just wanted to create the best, most dynamic piece I could." Jamie MacArthur, Regional Planning Director for Bellway London, added, "It is with great pride that we watch The Glimmer Twins statue unveiled.” “Dartford is a unique and thriving town, a place deserving of something as special as this bespoke public artwork.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
