Abrahams,
Mick Marmalade |
This R&B-styled sextet comprised Andy Fairweather-Low (vocals), Blue Weaver (organ), Neil Jones (guitar), Clive Taylor (bass), Allen Jones (baritone sax), Mike Smith (tenor sax) and Dennis Bryn (drums) all came from Cardiff, Wales. After hitting the charts with the "Gin House" in 1967, Fairweather-Low became a pin-up and the group swiftly ploughed more commercial ground with a succession of hits including "World Of Broken Hearts", "Bend Me Shape Me" and "High In The Sky". The group decided to leave their manager, Don Arden and move from Decca to Andrew Oldham's Immediate label. They had their only UK No. 1 with "Half As Nice" in 1969. After releasing "Hello Suzie" which reached the Top 10, they decided to split. Lead singer Andy Fairweather-Low formed Fairweather and then went solo while Blue Weaver found his way into Strawbs. The brass section became Judas Jump. Albums
