    This guy is so underated. he is a great guitarist, a great singer and one of my favourites and I was around when the originals were released ( scary )

    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!

    No comments were able to be made on the bbc documentary so I thought this is just as good as anywhere…what an absolutely brilliant lovely man Mr Fairweather Low seems to be could listen to him talking about his life as a musician for hours…I like many others loved him when he hit our ears as 13yo…hopefully he won’t stop…thank you Andy

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 :)

    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.

      ​@@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.
