Britain is still a country for and says "Happy Birthday" to an old welsh singer-songwriter called Andy Fairweather Low

What you possibly didn't know about Andy who is 65 years old today is that he :

*  was born in Ystrad Mynach, Wales.

* found fame as a founder member of 'Amen Corner' in the late 1960s and will be remembered by me and my fellow baby boomers for :
