Andrew Fagan

Andrew Fagan found pop stardom in the 1980s, when his band Ambitious Vegetables found a more accessible sound and morphed into The Mockers. Music writer John Dix called him ''Kiwi rock's most flamboyant frontman''. Since then Fagan and company have recorded albums under various names: Fagan, LIG, Fagan and the People, and Andrew Fagan and the People. His first post-Mockers album was Blisters in 1994. Fagan is also a poet and a sailor, and did an extended run on talkback radio with his partner Karyn Hay. The couple returned to New Zealand in 2002, after time living in a houseboat in England.
