Luv Andies first three solo always!!!!!!!!!
I’ve huge respect for Andy Bown. He’s an extremely talented writer, composer and musician. I’ve also met him on quite a few occasions over the last 30 years and he has always been friendly, polite and gracious. He’s a lot of fun and it was always absolute pleasure to chat to him. Thanks Andy and Best Wishes. Keep on keepin’ on.
Very underated and talented chap. The quiet man of Quo, but they wouldn’t be the band they are without him and he was there in the Frantics days in the late 70s.
Great chap down to earth as always ive met Andy a couple of times lovely guy
And don’t forget that he’s from Barnes you know ????
fabulous gentelamn
a memberessentail of quo
Andy has a CV that 99% of all musicians would envy him
Great ol’ ROCKER
Andy is awesome! I never really liked this song ‘Let’s rock’ by Parfitt/Morris. However, when it was played live Andy performed on the Hammond, piano, guitar and harmonica. My goodness was he busy through out the song! Besides the contributions he has made with The Quo, I think his solo albums are magnificent too. I wish for better times (Rhino) and seeing this man on stage again!
Andy is such a brilliant and creative guy. Love is solo work and his contributions to Quo’s catalogue, really fantastic stuff!
