The Half Moon, Putney The Rolling Stones, whose most recent visit was a private event held in May 2000. As well as performing as the band, individual members have appeared here in various side-projects, and have also used the venue for rehearsal space.

Musicians such as "The X Factor" finalist Jamie Archer, Eddi Reader and Simon Fowler supported the petition as well. As part of its revival, the Half Moon started serving food. In
