This finished in 1986, and Andy then had a recording studio until 1990, when he was enticed on the road again doing both FOH for various people, and playing keyboard for a mad unsigned Ska band called Skaboom.
1998 saw Andy in a largish venue as the house engineer, and in 2000 joined a great traditional Ska band , El Pussycat, playing tunes from the 60s and 70s. Their web site is www.elpussycat.co.uk.
Andy moved to Scotland August 2006, where he is writing his own tunes and doing the odd bit of production work.
Savory Duck was based around Arny Sage’s formidable self penned material, and influences ranging from Gentle Giant, Caravan to Greenslade.
With the addition of a second keyboard, this enabled Arny to develop his strong and unique guitar style and also led to a songwriting partnership with Andy Povall, which cemented a firm musical direction.
Delivering progressive tunes mixed with finely orchestrated hard rock guitar and keyboard passages. and it’s fair share of complex time changes.
During its lifetime ‘Duck’ supported the likes of Caravan at (Stoneground), Daryl Way’s Wolf (Bradford University) & Gordon Giltrap (Stockport Town Hall).
