Web site changes...

There are a few changes to the web site of late including a new player on the Audio page, so now you can hear even more audio excerpts from The Outsider CD. The new player also allows you to view lyrics for each song as well. Also check out the new pages relating to the Outsider CD which have recently been added; namely Credits and Reviews. There is also a new Links and Gear page and there is also now a group of secondary links detailed at the bottom of each page including a new Testimonials page. So, check it all out, and let us know what you all think! There are also further changes planned for the site with new photo galleries and further audio to be added.

New Album...

Andy has been recording the new album at Far Heath studios. Drummer Calvert Colville, Bass player Jim Rudge and Guitarist Ricky Raze were involved in these sessions. Further recording will be taking place over the coming months. Instrumentalists Miri Stebivka, Nigel Donley, and Ian Rooke have also kindly agreed to be involved as well, and singers Lindsey Thompson, and Eve Wray have now also agreed to contribute to the album which is all FANTASTIC!

The tracks being worked on are; TO BE BORN / CONFESSION / COULDN'T THINK / DIRTY TOWN / I THOUGHT I'D KNOW BY NOW / IF YOU TAKE A DRINK / MADNESS / THE BAND WITH NO NAME / WAITING IN LINE & STORYTELLER. Andy is also currently looking for further musicians to collaborate with on the recording of the new album. Instruments we are seeking are PERCUSSION / BLUES HARP / TRUMPET / SAXOPHONE / VIOLIN / CELLO / CLARINET & FLUTE. Please feel free to contact us by email.

Gigs and Recording...

Andy is busy as ever with gigs and recording. Andy's own recording studio set up is also bearing fruit, he has been transferring some of the extensive archive and back catalogue onto the new recording system. We hope to eventually make some of this available. Among these archive projects is a "Love Hysterics" live & studio compilation album.

Recently Andy was involved in Production work for Singer Songwriter Robert Simmons.

On the live front, Andy has been performing with mega-talented Singers Kate, Rebecca & Caz, also Guitarist & Singer Ricky, Bassist Jum Rudge, & Drummer Mike Tongue.
Also gigs aplenty with friends Lesley, Pete, and Bob.
He's also been playing the keys with Kevin Pearce, Jim Rudge, Caz Moore and brothers Chris and Nick Dangerfield. Also gigs with, Des Sherwood, Izzy Osbourne, Jim and Cal's tribute show to the music of Ozzy Osbourne called Prince of Darkness.

Sessions...

Andy is currently open to offers of sessions or live work in all of his various guises. Also, offers of production/session work or backing tracks in general terms are broadly welcome.
