Stackridge

Stackridge was a British rock band formed in 1969 in the Bristol/Bath area of England. Initially known as Stackridge Lemon, they shortened their name to Stackridge and became known for their eclectic blend of folk rock, progressive pop, and whimsical storytelling. Their music often featured unconventional instruments like flutes and violins, and their lyrics included fantastical narratives.


Stackridge released an album titled The Man in the Bowler Hat in February 1974. This was their third studio album and is often considered their most acclaimed work. It was produced by George Martin...


In 2023, a remastered and expanded edition was released, featuring the original 10 tracks along with additional recordings from BBC sessions in 1973. This edition offers a deeper insight into the band's live performances and includes rare material.

The key original members were:

  • Andy Cresswell-Davis – guitar, keyboards, vocals

  • James Warren – guitar, bass, vocals

  • Mutter Slater – flute, vocals

  • Mike Evans – violin

  • Crun Walter – bass

  • Billy Bent – drums


Later members included Keith Gemmell (sax/flute), Rod Bowkett (keyboards), and Peter Van Hooke (drums).


During reunions (1999–2015), many original members returned, joined by new musicians like Glenn Tommey, Sarah Mitchell, and Clare Lindley.

The Man in the Bowler Hat was my first introduction to Stackridge, and I was instantly hooked by their quirky charm, lush arrangements
