    You said on Jools' show 'People might be wondering what happened to Andy Fairweather Low, well this is what happened.' Then pointed to yourself. Andy mate, this song has been lurking somewhere in the recesses of my brain since you first made the record all those years ago, well that's where you've been mate, in our hearts..... thanks .

    Anyone else noticed songs from this generation (the best) are about true values, feelings and respect for someone rather than boastful lyrics of today. I have cash, cars, women and so on and so on. It’s a frightening shift.

    Andy makes me proud to be a fellow Welshman. Saw him a couple of times at Glastonbury and wanted to watch for so much longer. He seemed surprised at the great audience reaction then and here, but people love authenticity and real talent. That's why Eric Clapton, George Harrison and others wanted to work with him.

    • @richardmcalpin9203

      I am not Welsh but boy do I like Andy. Just a few years younger I lived through his music and he is still playing, and singing, brilliantly. Loved him in the sixties and love him still. Keep going Andy.

  • @karencase420
    @karencase420 25 днів тому

    Saw Amen Corner many, many times in various concerts. The band used to live in a house in Harrow and a bunch of us fourteen year old schoolgirls would go sit on the wall of the house across the road for HOURS on end, waiting for a glimpse of them. One day we’d been there for probably seven hours when Dennis…or maybe Blue, one or the other, stuck his head out of the window, threw us half a crown, and told us to go to the shop and get him a yoghurt. And of course we did 😂 Andy Fairweather Lowe was my absolute favorite. So many happy memories of those days!
