John Stammers

About Me

john stammers released 'ivy and dennis' 7" ep, now long deleted, from his dusty stockpile of home made treasures last year. now complimented live by his three piece combo and with a new 7" about to be released your ears are in for a treat. we can promise you heartbreak and tears of joy! with sublime harmonies, all drifting in an exquisite gondola propelled by the tightest swinging folk/jazz imaginable. john was tour support for lone pigeon last spring and for alfie in the summer. he has also played with king creosote,Sam and the Plants,Pip Dylan,Jack Cooper and aidan smith.
