were sown in 2001, with a chance meeting between Andy Wells and Tony Drake in a Bradford music store.

They got talking and realised that over the years they'd played the same circuits and seen each other play, but never spoken. Andy asked Tony to lay down some guitar on his album Lost The Will To Play. Since then, it's been a natural musical progression to the Pilgrym project - and now to their debut album - Pilgrimage.

Andy has written for such stars as Huey Lewis and Lisa Stanfield, and played with Mike Rutherford, Sarah Brightman and Junior.

He's played all the major venues, including support slots for T Rex, Thin Lizzy and Yes.

His own band Iron Duke had Lawrence Juber from Wings on guitar and John Elliss (The John Elliss Quarter) on Hammond. Rudy and The Zipps followed from the ashes of Be Bop Deluxe and were pipped at the post at EMI auditions by Sparks.

He formed the Drovers in the mid-60's with Billy Currie (Ultravox) and John McCoy (Deep Purple and Mammoth), then moved into a more jazz/rock vein. He picked up UK live session work, through Rudy and The Zipps to big band work.
