BIOGRAPHY:

Very talented bassist, also a good singer. I haven´t biographical data about him.

Besides, I must say that I have confusion about his career. Why? Well, it seems there are several different Andy Brown bassists (one of them being more into jazz, usually playing with Tony Oxley - another one from New Zealand). To make things worse, keyboardist Andy Bown (from The Herd and Status Quo fame) is miscredited many times as Andy Brown, and he also played bass in the 70s. So, how can I know who is who every time? :) I´ve tried my best to place the correct credits to the proper musician, but any help would be very appreciated, as always.
