SINGER, guitarist, Andy Fairweather Low's pedigree is the stuff rock dreams are made of.
You can see him on stage at The Stables, Wavendon, on Friday (July 25).
He first came to prominence at the vanguard of the new youthful expression of music as the lead singer in Amen Corner.
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.
He just segues smoothly to a solo tour with some of the world's finest musicians in his band, Geraint Watkins, Dave Bronze and Paul Beavis complete the line-up.
His new show includes songs from his whole career as well as the current Sweet Soulful Music CD.
It's standing room only for a gig by Grammy award-winning Nanci Griffith at The Stables on Saturday.
Nanci swept Nashville off its collective feet with what Rolling Stone later described as her unique form of "folkabilly" music – merging country with folk and pop music.
She has penned some of country music's most enduring compositions, including Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson's Gulf Coast Highway, Kathy Mattea's Love At The Five And Dime and Listen To The Radio, and Suzy Bogguss's Outbound Plane.
Nanci's most recent album, Ruby's Torch is an intriguing experiment that brings together both Griffith originals and a selection of material from some of her favourite writers.
