Crocheted Doughnut Ring was a British psychedelic band that was formed in 1967 out of two other bands, Force Five and The Fingers, both of which were managed by British producer Peter Eden. Eden came up with the name after a Peter Blake pop-art collage. He also pseudonymously wrote their debut single Two Little Ladies (Azalea & Rhododendron). The line up consisted of Richard Mills (guitar, vocals), Bert Pulham (lead guitar), John Chapel (keyboards), George Bird (bass), and Dave Skates (drums, sometimes credited as Dave Scates). They also released a single as Doughnut Ring.
