Andy Anderson

...... didn't meet us for a drink though!!

Andy Anderson is very likeable, he answers a lot of my incoherent ramblings on twitland.

Yep that's when he started talking to us, no, not in 1984!! I was talking to somebody on twitland and we said nobody had managed The Caterpillar or the drum solo leading into Shake Dog Shake as well as him ...

I've always really liked what Andy Anderson added to TC during his tenure with them. I really respect that he seems to be quite a versatile drummer, adept at many styles. He also sounds like a pretty down-to-earth guy these days.

Here's a 2010 interview with him from the French forum A Pink Dream. Some editing issues, probably due to translation, but a nice, quick read.

just a reminder :

he took part in 'Blue Sunshine' as well

by the way in this video you can also recognize one more (ex) Cure member : (ex) Porl

Just saw on Facebook that AA has announced he has cancer. No details other than the quote below.

“I learned on the 31st January, that I have the “Big C” hence the more and more tests, which is something I have been contemplating about this well before my recent term here in Hospital, because when one gets older, these illnesses are more likely to effect the older body, so at least I know where I stand now, so I’m cool with it.
I’m Not getting into the Tech side of it, because to me, Cancer is Cancer, no mater where it hails from, at this time, because I don’t know the full ramifications of the Cancer.

My quote is : “If it’s time to go, then it’s time to go, and there’s nowt you can say, before that last encore”

So welcome to : Andy Anderson’s Positive Ville.

A place where Tears, Blubbering and Cancer tech speak, are Not Welcome only Positiveness.

At this point in time I’m keeping myself totally focused and positive by organising these events, as well as my Book, which is cool fun knowing that other people may if they wish benefit by what junk I’ve collected over the years.

More Medication, more Medical Checks, Consultations, but all worth the wait in the long run.”

I knew he was due in for an op on an abdominal aortic aneurysm, but this is awful news.
