Biography
Bristol, United Kingdom (1969 – 1976, 1999 – 2001, 2007 – present)
Stackridge Lemon were formed in Bristol, UK from the remains of Griptyght Thynn by Andy Davis & Jim ‘Crun’ Walter during 1969. After initial experimentation and very lofty aims, the music began to arrive and the Lemon was dropped from the band’s name. The band played its first London gig at The Temple on 6th February 1970. At this stage the classic lineup was settled: Andy Davis (vocals/guitar/keys/drums), James Warren (vocals/guitar/bass), Billy ‘Sparkle’ Blake (drums), Jim ‘Crun’ Walter (bass), Michael ‘Mutter’ Slater (vocals/flute / keys), and Mike Evans (vocals/violin).
During 1971 Stackridge began serious gigging, and Crun left to take up bricklaying. The group embarked on a U.K. tour supporting Wishbone Ash. Later in the year they signed to MCA Records, and recorded their first album, Stackridge, at Kingsway Studios, London. They then toured the U.K. as headliners, with Renaissance supporting.
The second album, Friendliness, was recorded in November 1972; Crun rejoined the band.

I loved them way back in the 70's and saw them many, many times. They seem to be doing ok now as well. I have a grandson who is now 6, he has loved them (especially the first album) since he was 3. Essence of Porphyry is his singalong favourite but he also loves 3-Legged Table and Grande Piano

A Victory for Common Sense is terrific! Love, "Cheese and Ham", "Lost and Found", "The Day the World Stopped Turning". Nice to see the band on the Craig Ferguson Show.

Genuinely think they may be my new favorite band from WAY BACK WHEN. I thought The Zombies would hold out, but Stackridge are slowly (and surely) loosening Blunstone and the gang's grip.

brilliant band - real musicians & songwriters with a bit of humour thrown in! Saw the band recently and was pleasantly surprised - every song was good and a great mix of music. I had not seen them since the 70's. I even liked the new stuff & will buy the album.
