Sandy Ford (born 1940, Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, Scotland) is a vocalist, guitarist and member of UK Rockabilly band The Flying Saucers. Ford continues to tour and record with a reconstituted version of The Flying Saucers, in addition to his work as a country music solo artist. During his early years, Ford performed on a local level in various Rockabilly and country music bands. He moved to Barnet, Hertfordshire, England and formed a Pub rock group before joining The Flying Saucers as lead vocalist, in 1975. Ford completed the most famous lineup of the group, which featured bassist Pete Pritchard, drummer Terry Earl, guitarist Nigel "Nigsy" Owen and saxophonist Jacko Buddin. With help from a renewed interest in Rockabilly music and The British subculture movement known as Teddy Boy, The Flying Saucers toured the width and breadth of Europe and earned major label recording contracts with EMI Music. After numerous personnel changes, The Flying Saucers disbanded during the early 1990s. As the only original member of the group, Ford continues to tour and record with a reconstituted version of The Flying Saucers, billed as "The Flying Saucers featuring Sandy Ford." For his new group, Ford recruited bassist Leopard Von, guitarist Robert Dibrell and drummer Streetcat Chris as permanent replacement members. Ford continues to tour and record as both a quartet and trio. More recently, Ford completed a new solo album collecting unreleased country and western songs he recorded over a span of two decades. Ford currently resides in Barnet, Hertfordshire, England, with his wife Yvonne and two dogs Vinnie and Oscar. The couple own a vintage clothing boutique which specializes in men's and women's fashions from the 1950s. ==Discography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sandy Ford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
