Andrew James "Andy" Summers (born 31 December 1942) is an English musician, born in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. Best known as the guitarist for the rock band The Police, he has also recorded twelve solo albums, collaborated with many other artists, toured extensively under his own name, published several books, and composed several film scores.
Early life
During Summers' childhood, his family moved to Bournemouth in Dorset, England. After several years of piano lessons, he took up the guitar at the age of thirteen. By age sixteen he was playing in local clubs and by nineteen he had moved to London with his friend Zoot Money to form Zoot Money's Big Roll Band.
Musical career
Pre-Police career
Summers' professional career began in the mid-1960s in London as the guitarist for the British rhythm and blues band Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, which eventually came under the influence of the spreading psychedelic scene and evolved into the acid rock group Dantalian's Chariot.
After the demise of Dantalion's Chariot, Summers joined The Soft Machine for a period of three months and toured the United States. For a brief time in 1968, he was a member of The Animals, then known as Eric Burdon and the Animals, with whom he recorded one album, Love Is. The album features a recording of Traffic's "Coloured Rain", which includes a guitar solo by Summers. The LP also included a reworked version of Dantalion's Chariot's sole single "Madman Running Through the Fields".

Creep in through my window Dance upon the wall Come in here beside me Climb into my soul Take me to the water, Down into the cool Everlasting memory Everlasting pool Aching in the darkness Burning in the sun Calling from the water This life has just begun Strength of blood and muscle Life of wood and bone Searching for a fire Searching for a home... Home...home...home... Crouching in the darkness Hiding in the stone Trembling in the darkness This man is not alone Hit me by the memory Hurt me to the bone Make my fists with starlight Carry me back home... Home...
