ANDY Fairweather Low, one of the worlds most respected musicians rose to prominence in the 1960s as the front man and guitarist for chart topping teen idol band Amen Corner. His vocals and his distinctive voice were the perfect lead for the group.

Amen Corner scored six memorable hits between 1967 and 1969 with ‘( If Paradise is ) Half As Nice’ reaching number 1 in January 1969. ‘Wide Eyed & Legless’ released late in 1975 became another solo Top 10 hit in the UK and a major International hit record.

In the early nineties Andy joined Eric Claptons band with which he stayed until 2003 touring and recording the ‘Unplugged’, ‘From the Cradle’, ‘Pilgrim’, ‘Riding with the King’, ‘Reptile’ ‘One More Car One More Rider’, ‘Me & Mr. Johnson’ and ‘Back Home’ albums with him.Andy was also a regular player with George Harrison, appearing on his ‘Live in Japan’ album and, in 2002, playing several of the lead guitar parts for the Harrison tribute, ‘The Concert for George’. One of Fairweather Lows longest musical relationships, however, has been as musical director with Roger Waters. The two have worked together since Waters ‘Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking’ tour of America in 1985. Since that time Andy has contributed to two of Waters albums ‘Radio K.A.O.S’ in 1987 and ‘Amused to Death’ in 1992 and played guitar and bass on the 1999-2002 ‘In the Flesh’ world tour. He also rejoined Waters for the ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ tour more recently.
