About

Andy started playing guitar aged 8, inspired by his brothers who had guitars around, playing Beatles songs. He started playing the keyboards aged 11 after his mum bought an organ for the house – and has been playing music ever since!

He has always played in bands since age 16 and is the keyboard player for his beloved Shardlake band for the past 14 years and regularly gigs for their headline Classic Rock Show.

A multi-instrumentalist, he has found time to create and record his own material over recent years since retiring. Using a home studio and layering up his musical ideas, creating drum patterns on keyboards and mixing on Logic Pro. He performs bass, guitar, keyboards and vocals. Finding opportunities to collaborate with band mates to record their input and amazing talent.

Andy’s first album Nature’s Dance – a self-autobiographic album that represents his life, including the title track that is a love song for his wife, Janice. A long-term fan of Prog Rock, Andy created his first ‘true prog album’, Harmony Unchained, with a 21.5-minute opening track and a ‘side 2’ with 3 tracks, including the 3-part epic, Dawning of Mind. Written collaboratively with Janice who wrote most of the lyrics. The title track muses the concept of music being ‘free’ before being ‘captured’ by humans in instruments. His third album, Delineation, adopted the title theme – that things are separated – from emotions in the track The Worries, to consciousness in the track In-between Dreaming, to the abstract in the track Yin Yang. 

His fourth album, out now, called The Paradox of Time…. another prog album with the characteristics those who are fans of the genre will recognise, with complex guitar and synth interactions and a theme that explore the very essence of the universe and its beginnings and trajectory…
