And, on further research, it turns out that he also played in Steve
Hillage's (pre-techno) band before joining Hawkwind.  He's on the 'Live
Herald' album and a couple of the studio albums around that time.  That
would have been around the time that Steve and Nik played together on
'Sphynx' (the original recording) and the "Nuclear Waste" single, so
describing him as "one of Nik's mates" would seem to make a lot of sense
(even though Andy didn't actually play on either of those two records).
