Fairweather Low in UK tour

Andy Fairweather Low and The Low Riders begin a UK tour next month, starting in Deal and ending in London in November.

The accomplished guitarist and vocalist will deliver a set featuring material from throughout his career. It follows another world tour as a member of Eric Clapton’s band, and an appearance in BBC Radio 2’s musical history series The Birth Of Rock & Roll earlier this year.

Fairweather Low is joined by bandmates Dave Bronze, Paul Beavis and Nick Pentelow, and tickets are on sale now. The tour also includes two shows in Tokyo’s Cotton Club, Japan, on November 9 and 19.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
