it’s heels.
A world tour as musical director with Roger
Waters band then a European tour with Bill
Wyman’s Rhythm Kings might be difficult to top
for most people - but not for Andy Fairweather
Low who just segued smoothly into a major solo
tour last summer with some of the world’s finest
musicians in his band. Following an acclaimed
UK Tour in Autumn 2012 Andy completed a third
tour with The Low Riders in Germany.

If you just remember Andy's early work and
major solo hits such as 'Wide Eyed And
Legless', you're in for a treat - there's so much
more – you may have caught his appearance on

Andy Fairweather Low’s pedigree is the stuff rock dreams are made
of. He first came to prominence at the vanguard of the new youthful
expression of music 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', '( 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 the magnificent ‘Gin House’ to Andy’s
future musical collaborations.
