Empire Theatre & Cinema - What's On

Amen Corner


Fri 22 Oct 2010

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair if you are going to a new Amen Corner concert because you’ll soon be in a ‘Summer of Love’ party mood. The new Amen Corner has emerged, in the last couple of years, as arguably the hottest band on the 60s circuit.

The original 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’ and ‘Bend Me Shape Me’, they soon became a household name in the late sixties. The musicians of the new Amen Corner have a musical pedigree second to none and have been band members with the likes of Screaming Lord Sutch, The Symbols, Jeff Beck, Steve Ellis, Alexis Korner, Roy Wood, Robert Plant, Mike D’Abo, Cliff Bennett, Alvin Stardust, Ruby Turner, Mike Oldfield, Chip Hawkes and Jaki Graham to name but a few!
