Early Life
Stammers grew up in Saffron Walden, Essex and like many from his era he got into punk music by going to see live bands, listening to the radio or buying records and cassettes. From an early period his main influence for playing the bass was Slade's bass player Jimmy Lea, who he cites as an influence today, along with Paul Simonon (The Clash), Bruce Foxton (The Jam) and Horace Panter (The Specials).
