Andrew McCulloch (drummer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew McCulloch (born 19 November 1945, in Bournemouth, Dorset) was a drummer with several different bands and artists in the [[1970s]before becoming a yachtmaster.
He played, mainly in the progressive rock genre, including Fields, Greenslade, Manfred Mann, Anthony Phillips,Crazy World of Arthur Brown and King Crimson. After drumming for Manfred Mann in early 1970, he became Michael Giles' initial replacement in King Crimson. He appeared on just one King Crimson album, the jazz-influenced Lizard released in 1970 as part of a lineup that later disbanded.
He joined Greenslade at its inception in 1972, and left the band in 1976. He then guested on several releases, including "Opus One" with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, before leaving the music business. Despite at the time being referred to in the guardian as being one of the most skillful and inventive drummers working anywhere in the Jazz or Rock Spectrum, he left to become more involved with his other love, sailing.
As an RYA Yachtmaster instructor he skippered and taught on several yachts around Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Italy, France, Spain, Lebanon, and Antigua.
He now charters his own yachts around the Greek Islands in the summer season, as well as teaching, skippering and examining. www.greekislandsailing.uk
