Stackridge formed in the early ‘70s, touring the UK, building a fanatical following and released 3 albums on MCA, "Stackridge", "Friendliness" and in 1974 "The Man in the Bowler Hat", which was produced by George Martin. This triumphant masterpiece, regarded by many to be George Martin's finest creation outside of his Beatles canon, the band recorded two more critically acclaimed albums, "Extravaganza" and "Mr. Mick" for Elton John’s Rocket label.

Going their separate ways in 1976, they continued to make music. James Warren and Andy Davies gained notable success as electro-pop balladeers, The Korgis with two hit singles including the massive "Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime". 

In 2006 the still devoted followers of the band were delighted when a reformed Stackridge started played a series of gigs, that included classic songs from the large back catalogue and a body of outstanding new material.

As ever, Stackridge has brought its' effervescent mix of melodic tunes, playful and poignant lyrics and instrumental exploration to their first album release on Helium Records.  "A Victory For Common Sense", produced by Chris Hughes sees original members Andy Davis, "Mutter" Slater, "Crun" Walter and James Warren back together again and in truly fine form.
