Pension world's answer to Rolling Stones rocker set for tour

Headlining each event will be pensions guru Mike Morrison – who AJ Bell said had made more live appearances than the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards.
Mr Morrison said: "So much has changed since those early days, the demand for the classics might have moved on but some would argue they never get old. Look at annuities – when George Osborne dropped the pension freedoms bomb, most said annuities were dead.
"But I know there's still a little love out there for a guaranteed income for life. I can see a world where annuities and flexi-access drawdown rock it together side by side."
Morrison's co-star, Russ 'What's the Fuss' Mould, was even more excited about the prospect of performing his set, saying: "It's going to be amazing. I've got loads of new material about investments and stuff – do you know 'the lead indicators to keep your eye on in 2015'? I sure as hell do, and I can't wait to share that shizzle with the crowd."
There will also be a selection of "talented support acts drawn from AJ Bell's renowned backing group - the Business Development Manager-ettes".
All sessions are a 8.30am for 9am start with breakfast sandwiches, tea and coffee served.
Advisers can register for a session by contacting their local Business Development Manager or by going to the event's website.
