Stackridge are a quintessential British act born in Bristol in 1969, blending whimsical storytelling with intricate musicianship. They opened the first Glastonbury Festival in 1970 and quickly became a fixture in the UK prog/folk scene. From their self-titled debut in 1971 to landmark records like The Man in the Bowler Hat (1974) produced with George Martin, Stackridge carved a reputation for clever arrangements and memorable melodies. After a productive 1970s run, the band reformed in 1999 and has continued to appeal to fans with reissues and live releases. Here’s what you need to know about Stackridge, including a quick look at their discography and the latest on touring possibilities.
