Stackridge
T0722918382
The first ever band to play at the initial Glastonbury Festival in 1971, this West Country band re-formed in 1998. Their music is as eclectic as ever, from jazz cafe, via rock and roll, to jigs and reels, with a hefty leavening of skilful parody.

Production details
As contemporary and fresh as bands half their age, Stackridge return to The Met with material from their new album A Victory For Common Sense, a collection of songs that emphasise their talent for writing memorable melodies and playful, poignant lyrics. The band remain an exciting and inspiring mix of the sublime, embracing influences as diverse as The Beatles, Music Hall, Delius, Frank Zappa, The Bonzos, Elgar, Pink Floyd, Noel Coward and the classic three minute pop song.
