I took this photo on the Blogger's trip to Newcastle with a view to featuring it on a future Blog post. Then I forgot all about it until the band popped up on the latest Saturday Snapshots over at Rol's place
Active between 1966 -1969 The Amen Corner were a Welsh rock band led by Andy Fairweather Low. They first crossed my radar when a re-release of If Paradise Was Half as Nice charted in 1976.
This was shortly after their frontman charted as a solo artist with Wide Eyed and Legless in 1975.
Two from the band followed by two from AFL I think.
Amen Corner - Bend Me, Shape Me
Amen Corner - If Paradise is Half as Nice
Andy Fairweather Low - Drowning on Dry Land
Andy Fairweather Low - Wide Eyed and Legless
A fine selection
ReplyDeleteYes a fine selection - didn't spot that sign in Newcastle. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteAmen Corner (and If Paradise Is Half As Nice) first crossed my radar in......eek 1969! Where were you then? I can live without Bend Me Shape Me but I've always rather had a soft spot for AFL esp since I bought a couple of his mid seventies solo albums inc La Booga Rooga. Wide Eyed And Legless is such a great song. Since then he's turned up doing session and backing work for a slew of great artists including Van Morrison.
