Andy Scott - The Sweet
In July 2010, VanCompare launched its first-ever television advertising campaign, fronted by 70ʼs glam rock star Andy Scott. Andy is a guitarist, vocalist and synthesizer player with ‘The Sweetʼ, who epitomized the UKʼs 70ʼs Glam Rock movement with its trademark glitter and make-up.
The advertisements feature Andy rocking out to classic Sweet tracks, ‘Fox on the Runʼ and ‘Love is like Oxygenʼ. ‘Fox on the Runʼ was The Sweetʼs biggest selling hit back in March 1975 and was released worldwide to widespread acclaim. The Sweetʼs first self-written and produced single, ‘Fox on the Runʼ, reached number one in Germany and Australia, number two in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and number five in the US.

The Chuckle Brothers
