    You have to look back to when he was with Amen Corner to realise how good they were compared to other groups of the time......They were one of a kind and stood out as pure class

    A few years ago at Glastonbury, AFL played the Accoustic Tent with Paul Carrick and Nick Lowe. They were good but AFL was brilliant and stole the last 20 minutes of a 60 minute set. The audience just loved it- me included!

His roadie took me to my seat after his wife who sold the cds told him about me being a fan & then he got me Andy's autograph :)

      ​@@stevenaustin8274 Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Joe Satriani, BB King and many more have employed him to play guitar with them.
      I think that he's pretty good. The trouble is most people think that good guitarists are fast and flash. A good guitarist is someone that plays to suit the song, is reliable, doesn't make mistakes and doesn't behave like a prima Donna.

    My introduction to this song and Andy's wonderful singing was the Cassette called The Immediate Singles. I saw the liner notes for the Nice (Nice) Azreal Keith Emerson apologizing for detuning the strings on the piano before Amen Corner's session. I bought this around 1984.

    Re my original comment "Saw Amen Corner perform this live for a Radio Show in Manchester in 1967" According to the Internet they didn't release it until 1969 but we saw them when I was still in the sixth form so it must have been 1968.
