S2E16 - Andy Scott - Sweet

Long Way to the Top

In the early 70’s the UK delivered a style of rock that included glitter, platform shoes, make up and outlandish clothing. It was Glam Rock -  T-Rex and Bowie embraced it and before long it was literally on the Top of the Pops.

One band was at the forefront, originally known as Sweet Shop, The Sweet and then just Sweet. Brian, Steve, Mick and Andy were the classic line-up. Sadly with the passing of Brian, Steve, and Mick, Andy Scott is left holding the torch, and now Sweet are heading down under for their farewell tour, playing their greatest hits.

The brand new album by Sweet "Full Circle" is out soon. Check out their new single Burning Like a Falling Star here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0PF6iCf6jI
