The New Amen Corner have emerged in the last couple of years as the hottest band on the 60's circuit because of their ability to recreate so perfectly the sound and atmosphere of that era. Their power house live show has made them one of the most exciting bands around, period clothing, authentic equipment and with the band encouraging their fans to don 60's attire, their shows really breaths life back, into what must be music's most prolific decade. The musicians of the new Amen Corner have a musical pedigree second to none and have been band members with the likes of Screaming Lord Sutch, The Symbols, Jeff Beck, and Jaki Graham to name but a few!!!!!
