Andy Bennett born 7 September, Leamington Spa, is an English singer and acoustic guitarist, best known for his work with Ocean Colour Scene.[1][2][3] [4]
The Elements
Bennett had his first break with his band The Elements (formerly known as Sergeant) which included Tim Jacques, Lee Burn and Dave Casswell. The Elements regularly gigged throughout Birmingham and supported Ocean Colour Scene. The band released their first album, The Elements, on Acid Jazz Records music label and the album charted at #7 in the indie music charts.[citation needed].
Ocean Colour Scene
Bennett joined Ocean Colour Scene in September 2004, replacing Damon Minchella. He has featured on the following albums.
- One for the Road (Ocean Colour Scene album)
- On the Leyline (2007)
- Live Acoustic at the Jam House
- Live at the Town Hall
- Saturday
- 21
Bennett co-wrote the song "Old Pair of Jeans" which was on the Saturday album. According to The Digital Fix, "It just gets better with every song a winner. The jaunty ‘Old Pair Of Jeans’ is rollicking fun: "I wish you didn't get hung up so easily / When you're bound fall apart you always fall apart at the seams / So worn and so torn..like an old pair of jeans." The song also featured on the 21 album.[5]
Bennett has toured with Ocean Colour Scene since 2004, but left in February 2015 to focus on his solo material.
