Stackridge: The missing jewel
in the crown that is British pop music

This is the official online home of the Stackridge. The band reformed in 2006 with four of the original line up Andy Davis • James Warren • Mutter Slater & Crun Walter. They released a new a Album “A Victory For Common Sense” in 2009, which was produced by Chris Hughes who has cast his magic spell over recordings by Robert Plant, Paul McCartney and Tears For Fears.

Writers Andy Davis and James Warren also formed the successful duo The Korgis in 1979 with International Hit Singles including the ever popular “Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime”, which was featured on the soundtrack of the Jim Carrey movie “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind”. Their songs have been covered by many artists over the ensuing years and Stackridge did include several of their songs in their live set.

THE FINAL BOW !
After the last 9 years of travelling the length and breadth of this sceptered Isle Stackridge decided it was time to “call it a day”. The last tour took place between September and December 2015 and thousands of music lovers flocked to sell out gigs around the UK. The band also flew to Tokyo, Japan for two memorable concerts in October 2015.

All of the Stackridge back catalogue Albums are available from Angel Air Records and the most recent Album “A Victory For Common Sense” can be obtained from Helium Records .

They should erect a monument to Stackridge
Jonathan RossBBC Radio 2
Stackridge are back, reformed, rejuvenated and better than ever.
Richard PurdonThe Yeovil Express
An amazingly good performance from the band that actually likes it's fans. I could'nt get tickets for the Cream reunion in 2006, but this was more than adequate compensation.
Michael Turnerwww.remotegoat.co.uk
This decidedly English band always had a sound very much it's own, and was stylistically diverse to begin with. Their music still quivers with creativity.
Jo-Anne GreenAllMusic.com
Of all the bands I used to listen to in the early 70's there are few I remember more fondly than Stackridge. I caught them live again in 2007 and found they have lost none of their freshness and eccentricity.

Stackridge is one of the most under rated bands of all times, they are a thinking man's band, the lyrics are intelligent, witty and engaging, the music played at a high level of competence.
Simon Barrettwww.bloggernews.net
Stackridge are a fascinating group, delightful and uncategorisable.
Stuart MaconieBBC Radio 6
All is well in the world with Stackridge still making music
Johnnie WalkerBBC Radio 2
Therein lies their lasting success, the ability to stand out from the crowd and create clever songs, with witty lyrics, and highly original arrangements. In an increasingly mediocre musical world, Stackridge continue to shine.
Kim FletcherAmazon Records
In the year that a Genesis reunion made the news their lesser known contemporaries may have felt a little short changed. Both bands fancied themselves as erudite English songsmiths, but Stackridge had the better songs. At the 100 Club in London this year, what struck you was how contemporary they sound.

Stackridge! At Glastonbury! Awesome!!!
Steve WrightBBC Radio 2
There is Beatlesque melody, gently surreal humour and considerable instrumental dexterity that ranges freely between the worlds of POP, FOLK, JAZZ, CLASSICAL & PROG-ROCK.
Chris EvansAll Music Guide
Stellar British Pop with a progressive vaudeville twist.
Robert SilvermanMWE3.com
Stackridge are 50% Beatles, 50% English Music hall, 50% Bumpkin Country-Bluegrass, 50% Classical. That adds up to at least 200% of whimsy and melody coming in & out of your ears - I dare you to listen and not love life just a little more.

An excellent, unfailingly melodic band.
Jim IrwinMojo Magazine
Sublime musicianship, consummately performed with an ease, grace and humour that is simply astonishing.
Ade MacrowRock'n'Reel Magazine
The best album the Beatles did'nt make....the best successor to Abbey Road you will ever find.
The Man In The Bowler Hat www.maxalbums.com
The Davis/Warren duo is one of Britain's greatest song writing teams.
