Andrew Maynard Parker (born 21 March 1952) is a British drummer best known as a founding member and drummer of the hard rock band UFO.
In mid-1969 he met Phil Mogg, Pete Way and Mick Bolton, who had a band called Hocus Pocus and were looking for a new drummer.
[1] Later, as UFO was gaining momentum, Parker and Mogg started having "run-ins" with Bolton and fired him shortly after.
By 1969, he and friend Steve Casey had formed Aurora Borealis, a blues band.
[citation needed] He lives, together with his wife, Jo McDonnell, in Granbury, Texas.
