Andy Fraser

Andrew McLan "Andy" Fraser (3 July 1952 – 16 March 2015) was an English songwriter and bass guitarist whose career lasted over forty years and includes a notable period as one of the founding members of the rock band Free in 1968, at age 15. (Read more at Wikipedia)

Links To Peel
Free was one of the bands Peel championed during his early broadcast days and he featured their music extensively during his programmes, until their demise in 1973. For this reason, he seemed to be interested in Fraser's first solo released projects in 1975 and the bassist was booked for a session. However, shortly after that, Frarser's solo career took a standstill until 1984 and, since Peel was moving on other grounds at the time, he was not featured again on his shows.

Andy Fraser sometimes also collaborated with Peel favorite Eno.
