Accrington Stanley

Originally formed in Southampton in 1986, the teenage creation of singer/songwriter/guitarist Dan O'Farrell and keyboardist Richard Barrett. In 2012, renewed interest in the John Peel Archive led to the re-issue of their celebrated 1993 album 'Lovebound', which was championed by the legendary DJ and was recently rediscovered in the first 100 albums in the John Peel Archive. The band are currently putting the finishing touches to their long-awaited new album, due in Autumn 2012.
