Mutter Slater

Mutter Slater (vocals, flute, rhythm guitar) was spotted by the future manager of Stackridge playing with his band at Glastonbury Town Hall. It wasn’t too hard to persuade him to move to Bristol, where he joined Stackridge in 1970. He then embarked with the band on a grueling series of one-nighters all over the U.K., developing his legendary and blindingly idiosyncratic stage act (slippers, grey flannels, dustbin lids etc.) alongside the band’s stronglymelodic yet equally quirky songs and instrumentals.

..and now he's back!

The Mutter Slater Band made its début at the Royal Portland Arms, Fortuneswell, Portland, Dorset on Thursday 28th June. The three-piece line-up (Mutter, drummer Ady Milward and Chris Lonergan).

Mutter then enjoyed the glamorous life of leather-tanning, car valeting and a car-hire business, keeping his hand in by playing r&b and soul to the good people of Somerset and Dorset. .

Now there's the Mutter Slater Band.
