Event information
Local heroes Stackridge return to Chapel Arts for a for a rare Home Town appearance.
Please note this is a standing gig.
They are well known for their diversity of styles- they can be delicate and they can be heavy - often in the same song, but what distinguishes them is a subtlety, a lightness of touch with well crafted lyrics that have a poetic quality and superb use of allusion.There are some excellent bands around today that play, write and sing to a high standard but few of them manage to combine all of those elements as well as Stackridge, especially live.
Along with other living English treasures such as Polly Harvey, Robyn Hitchcock, Andy Partridge, Paul Weller, Ray Davies, Chris Difford & Richard Thompson we can consider ourselves to be truly fortunate to have Stackridge.
Stackridge reformed in 2007 and are performing, writing and recording again. Their current Album "A Victory For Common Sense" 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 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 a variety of artists including Rod Stewart, Beck, Zucchero, Manhattan Transfer and Richard Thompson.
Stackridge made their American Television debut to great acclaim on Monday March 14th 2011 on The Craig Ferguson Late Late Show on CBS TV.
"All is well in the world with Stackridge still making music" Johnnie Walker, BBC Radio 2
A short history
Stackridge constantly tour the U.K with new material and songs from their classic 1970's British pop albums: "Stackridge", "Friendliness" and the George Martin produced "The Man in the Bowler Hat" - regarded by many to be George Martin's finest creation outside of his Beatles canon. Elton John signed them to his own Rocket Records and released two more albums "Extravaganza" and "Mr.Mick".
Stackridge performed at the first ever Glastonbury Festival, were a favourite band of the late John Peel and were voted fourth in the Melody Maker's Brightest Hope Poll - above Genesis and Wings!
