S?tackri9 8th Aug 2018		Saw Stackridge perform at Christmas party '73 at Oxford Polytechnic in my first term at university, aged 19. I had enjoyed "Stackridge" and "Friendliness" and was delighted to hear they'd be playing so close to my neck of the woods. They were supported by, among others, one of the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band members with a set of electronic dummies that did crazy dances, during which one of the heads came off (all part of the act, I'm sure!) The band was clearly in transition - from memory, the line-up was something like Andy Cresswell Davies on drums (not Billy), James Warren on electro-acoustic six string, Mike Evans on vioin and I think the ex-Audience woodwind player was in the background. I don't remember Crun or Mutter being in the lineup, but I wasn't completely familiar with the band members at that time. They may have already released "Man In The Bowler Hat" by then, because I remember them playing "God Speed The Plough" pretty well, using keyboards for the orchestral parts. Mike Evans did a very funny "Laughing Policeman" spot - part of the very English humour that made the band popular throughout its career. They finished with an terrific jig which got everyone dancing - perhaps "Let There Be Lids" - then Jim apologised that they'd have to stop because they didn't know any more songs! After encoring "Lids" they finished for the night. Really good Christmas fun!
