Dappled Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Sharon Tandy Les Fleur de Lys Who is the guitarist that plays on these tracks? Anyone know? Also I've googled that the singer in Les Fleur de Lys is Chris Andrews. Is that the same Chris who had a hit with Pretty Belinda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Chris Andrews "Pretty Belinda" and the other Chris Andrews: Coming directly from secondary school, the 15 year old Chris hit it big by getting the chance to play the Artful Dodger in the 1963 production of Oliver! in the West End/London. After the Oliver! Production successfully toured America in 1964, Chris joined the band Fleur de Lys as vocalist and rhythm guitarist. Chris' last project with Fleur de Lys was to record 'Reflections of Charles Brown', released under the name of Ruberts People reaching Top 30 in the UK, and charting in other countries. Not to be confused with Yesterday Man Chris Andrews, he has also written and recorded singles under different pseudonyms such as Tim Andrews and Kris Ryder. As Kris Ryder, he recorded the 1978 album 'Kris Ryder' produced by Christopher Neil. His songs have been recorded by such artists as David Essex, Roger Daltrey (The WHO), the Casuals and Canadian Singer Florence Warner amongst others. Most commonly known are his contribution to Radio and Television theme music including the Chart Show, Star Test and Star Chamber. His most recent project has been writing a musical with his fellow Artful Dodger and friend David Jones The Monkees. As for the guitar player with Sharon Tandy, it must be the one who plays with Fleur de Lys, according to what they wrote on youtube: Miss Tandy ably backed by the Fleur De Lys (more) Les Fleurs de Lys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) I'm not sure, it seems Jimmy Page produced some of their singles, but it's unknown if he also played guitar for them... and allmusic.com claims Chris Andrews to be a "major member" edit: yeah, what ^she said Edited August 22, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappled Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Thank you, Edna, that's super. Now if someone coud send me 'Reflections of Charlie Brown' I would be happy as a goose! Fleur De Lys's - Gong With The Luminous Nose is another one I very much would like to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappled Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Maybe Phil Sawyer played the guitar. I found this about him: "Phil Sawyer started his musical career as lead guitarist and lead singer in various bands including Fleur de Lys and Shotgun Express (which became Fleetwood Mac). He joined the Spencer Davis Group when he was 18 to replace Stevie Winwood, toured with them and wrote numerous songs." Strange, I thought Ray Fenwick replaced Stevie Winwood.
