Andy’s performances have won over audiences and earned him accolades from the likes of The Waterboys’ Mike Scott. In 2003 his debut album ‘Love Unspoken’ was released in the USA. He has since been touring on the folk circuit and has appeared at a number of major folk festivals across the UK such as Broadstairs, Tenterden, Spratton and Folk on the Pier at Cromer. Andy's act encompasses a huge variety of songs drawing on 5 album's worth of original material and originals from the likes of Leonard cohen, Rufus Wainwirght and Phil Ochs. His unique piano playing on his full-sized electric piano brings to mind perhaps Rufus Wainwright and he also writes poetic lyrics inspired by very English writers such as Laurie Lee. Andy is also a proficient guitar player and his songs encompass wonderful stories of struggle and joy.
