A remarkable band with a remarkable front man.

Andy Fairweather Low came to prominence as the lead singer in Amen Corner. The ’60s saw them clock up hit after pop hit. Songs such as Bend Me Shape Me, Hello Suzy, and ( If Paradise is ) Half As Nice are internationally remembered to this day. But if you were paying close attention, you might have picked up a clue in their first single the magnificent Gin House as to Andy’s future musical collaborations.

Since the early days Andy has gone on to work with Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, David Crosby, The Band, Elton John, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, The Who, BB King, Joe Cocker, Steve Winwood, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, The Impressions, Lonnie Donegan, Mary J. Blige, Georgie Fame, Bonnie Raitt, Otis Rush, Van Morrison, Chris Barber, Jackson Browne, Bill Wyman, Sheryl Crow, Pete Townshend, Kate Bush… and literally hundreds more.

Now following a solo path, his first solo album in twenty-four years Sweet Soulful Music was released late in 2007 followed by The Very Best Of Andy Fairweather Low which was released in the UK in June 2008 with a Live DVD following hot on it’s heels.

In fact Andy has been touring and releasing CD Albums ever since and has built a strong following having now released ten albums including two live DVD shows and a three disc box set DVD and double live CD which debuted in the Amazon box set top fifty in its first week of release. A double live vinyl Lockdown internet concert followed and his CD and vinyl release Flang Dang recently debuted which in February 2025 was superseded by The Invisible Bluesman on blue vinyl, CD and download.

Eric Clapton invited Andy to perform as a featured artist at the 2023 Crossroads Guitar Festival in Los Angeles and again with his band The Low Riders to open the UK and Ireland leg of his 2024 tour and then the UK and European dates on his 2025 tour.

Andy’s The Invisible Bluesman Album entered the official UK jazz and blues charts at number one and his spring tour broke all records selling 99% across the whole tour.

Lineup: Andy Fairweather Low (guitar & vocals); Ian Jennings (bass); Paul Beavis (drums); Nick Pentelow (tenor sax, baritone sax & clarinet; Richard Milner (hammond organ & backing vocals); Pete Cook (baritone sax).
