Amen Corner was one of the biggest influences on the sixties pop scene to ever come out of Wales. With their own brand of West Coast (Wales) Music, a mixture of mod, psychedelic power pop, heavy horns, swirling Hammond organ, the distinctive voice of Andy Fairweather-Low and their power house live show made them one of the most exciting bands around at the time.
With million seller hits like Gin House, Bend Me Shape Me, If Paradise was half as Nice, High in the Sky, & Hello Suzie they soon became a household name in the late sixties.
But unfortunately due to the bands premature demise at the end of 69 the legacy of this truly great band has become some what forgotten. However due to a long standing friendship between sax man Frogman Curtis and Alan Jones, (original founder member) the idea to form a official new Amen Corner to keep the memory and music alive of this legendary band was born.
The musicians of the new Amen Corner have a musical pedigree second to none with most of the band having gigged around in the 60s and have also been band members with the likes of Screaming Lord Sutch, The Symbols, Jeff Beck, Alexsis Korner, Roy Wood, Robert Plant, Alvin Stardust, Ruby Turner, Mike Oldfield & Jaki Graham to name but a few!!!!!
