Foxy, The Charmer, The Chancer, Andrew Fow or Andrew Foy. Call him what you like it matters not. When you are the most desirable man on earth (to the ladies that is) a name is meaningless. As any long term or casual fan of the Fingolstones knows he is the rock upon which the Fingolstones exist. Without his influence there would be no band, no music, no songs, nothing. Unfortunately this did lead to a contract being put out on him in the early 1990’s. A mysterious cartel led by a shady character known only as “El Gofto” offered a bounty of £57.30 and a bar of Kendal Mint cake to anyone who could “take him out”. El Gofto reasoned that without his physical presence on the planet the Fingolstones would be forced to write songs about something, anything else.
However due to the badly written and ambiguous meaning of the words of the contract queues of excitable young teenage girls began to gather outside Foxys love shack eager to “take him out” on a date. El Gofto was incensed and took himself off for a long weekend in the Lake District to cool off. So the legend lived on and The Fingolstones penned their latest but by no means last tribute to their illustrious former band mate and muse. As for El Gofto, he remains a man of mystery. There was a suspected sighting of him in Newcastle in the mid 1990’s but it turned out to be just his coat which El Gofto had loaned to a bloke called Kevin. |

See him walking down the street Kerb crawling like David Pleat Two club feet And a cauliflower ear And a broken nose And wooden leg |
El Gofto’s coat, but where is El Gofto? If Arthur C Clarke still had his Mysterious World show they could do a whole episode on it.
