Fair Weather was a rock group from the United Kingdom, established in 1970 by Andy Fairweather Low, who had previously been the guitarist and vocalist for Amen Corner. Their most notable achievement is the popular track "Natural Sinner".

Biography

Following the dissolution of Amen Corner, Fair Weather was formed under the leadership of Andy Fairweather Low. The lineup included Dennis Bryon on drums, Blue Weaver handling the organ, Clive Taylor playing bass, and Neil Jones on guitar. In 1970, they secured a Top 10 position on the UK Singles Chart with their single "Natural Sinner" and released a single album titled Beginning From An End. Despite issuing three other singles—"Lay It On Me"/"Looking for the Red Label Pt. 2", "Tutti Frutti"/"Road To Freedom", and "Poor Man's Bum A Run"/"Don't Mess With Cupid"—none managed to enter the charts, which contributed to the band's breakup in 1971.

After the group disbanded, Fairweather Low embarked on a fruitful solo career and worked closely with prominent musicians such as Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and Roger Waters. Meanwhile, Weaver joined Strawbs and became a highly regarded session keyboardist for various artists including Mott the Hoople, Pet Shop Boys, and the Bee Gees. Bryon also became part of the Bee Gees as their drummer.
