The Flowerpot Men were a British band formed in 1967 and concentrated on a trio of singers. It was formerly known as The Ivy League.
The name was clearly derived from the children's show The Flowerpot Men, with the obvious psychedelic-era puns on flower power and "pot" (cannabis).
The band's most popular song was "Let's Go To San Francisco". Some listeners assumed that the song was a parody of Scott McKenzie's "If You're Going San Francisco", but the band have denied this.
Complete line-up of The Flowerpot Men And Their Garden was:
- Tony Burrows: vocals
- Neil Landon : vocals
- Robin Shaw: vocals
- Pete Nelson: vocals
- Ged Stone: guitar
- Carol Little: drums
- Nick Simper: bass
- Jon Lord: organ
In 1968 Nick Simper and Jon Lord were founding members of Deep Purple.
