Tudor Lodge Title

Tudor Lodge was originally formed in 1968, featuring John Stannard and Roger Strevens. The group started playing at the White Horse in Reading, England and later made appearances at other clubs on the folk circuit. In 1969 Lyndon Green replaced Roger. Lyndon had just returned to England after treading the hippy trail to Turkey and within a year they were joined by American singer and flautist, Ann Steuart. Tudor Lodge then toured the English folk circuit for over two years, teaming up with manager Karl Blore towards the end of 1970, and releasing their first album in 1971: “Tudor Lodge” (Vertigo 6360043). Later that year, the group appeared at the prestigious Cambridge Folk Festival and also at Weeley Festival in Essex.

Annie left the group in 1972 and was briefly replaced by Linda Peters, who became better known through her work with husband Richard Thompson. That year saw Tudor Lodge touring Holland where they featured on Dutch Radio after which the group disbanded with their various careers diverging.

John, Lyndon and Annie did get back together in 1980 but Annie left soon to live in New Hampshire. Lynne Whiteland replaced her, and in 1988 Lyndon retired from performing. He is currently living and working in Japan. Since then Tudor Lodge has been a duo presenting their own brand of music: New and Old, Original and some well known songs — Humour, Harmony and a touch of Nostalgia.

In September 1999, Tudor Lodge went to Japan and played two very successful gigs in Tokyo. Lynne and John were joined on stage by Lyndon and two excellent Japanese musicians, Bice (keyboard and vocals) and Shimizu Hirotaka (bass). The group performed songs from all four albums, to the delight of their many Japanese fans. The popularity of Tudor Lodge is set to continue: their CD, Runaway, was released on May 24, 2003, and their latest CD, Unconditional, was released in September 2006.

42 years after the first Tudor Lodge album, founder member John Cee Stannard has launched his first solo project. “The Doob Doo Album,” launched in May 2013, is a blues based album which mainly features songs written by John Cee during the previous two years.

The release of this album coincides with the release of Tudor Lodge’s 6th full studio album, “Stay,” featuring 14 new songs by Lynne and John.
