Subject: RE: Forgotten rock bands of the 70s
The ultimate travesty has to be the case of Stackridge. A hugely gifted bunch of West Country musicians, who delighted audiences throughout the UK with their witty, erudite, eccentric, poignant, rambunctious shows from 1971-76 and released five albums of material ranging from 1920s pastiches to cod-reggae to symphonic rock and onto progressive and much more.

Even had the legendary George Martin producing their third album but to little (commercial) avail.

They've happily been re-formed since 2007, have a 2009 Cd 'A Victory For Common Sense' available and are still enthralling audiences far and wide.

It's never too late to catch up on what you might have missed! See www.stackridge.net and www.zorgansgal@yahoogroups.com for further details and news about 2010 live dates and much more.
