Andrew’s reputation as one of the country’s leading guitarists, teachers and pioneers of the instrument has lead him to all corners of the planet, working with some of the greatest musicians, composers, musicologists and institutions.

A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, Andrew has appeared at venues worldwide including broadcasts on internet, radio and television. He works in partnership with various international singers and instrumentalists. As a session musician, his versatile playing can be heard in film music, TV ads and as a backing guitarist to some of the world’s most illustrious Rock and Pop artists. Andrew’s close affinity to the works of British composers has not only led him to champion major contemporary works, but also encourage composers to write for the instrument.
With many years of experience, Andrew offers a highly professional service, and with his easy-going manner he can take the stress out of any event. He can tailor his music and experience to suit any event. Andrew prides himself on the amount of work he receives by recommendation.

Most songs or pieces can be arranged
for the guitar if enough time is given.
A chair without arms, and power supply.
All sound equipment provided.
Access and parking.
Yes.
I always bring amplification, as it helps cut through a room and open air venue. I am, however, always sensitive to not be overpowering and can judge the volume to the surroundings.
I can also provide battery powered amplification of there is not available power. This would need to be arrange prior to the event.
I have performed regularly for private soirees of the Royal Family over the past 30 years and performed to the Pope in a candlelit venue in the catacombs in Rome. That was pretty cool.
I am inspired by so many musicians but had the privilege of studying with both John Williams and Julian Bream, and performing with Gary Moore & Brian May (two other heroes).
Been performing since I was 8, but started touring the day i graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in the 90's. I have toured the world multiple times both as a soloist and in partnership with other international artists.
Anywhere where I am loving playing to people that are enjoying my music.
Absolutely. I can compose a personalised piece just for the occasion.
I normally arrive 30 minutes before an event to set up, familiarise myself with the surrounding. I play up to 2 hours, usually without a break. Because I am having fun! Totally booking time is up to 3 hours usually, but I am flexible.
Yes, if i have power and some cover from the elements.
I try to personalise the wedding or special event by creating original arrangements of some of the clients favourite music. I then intersperse them into existing repertoire. i always feel it is important to read the room and build an atmosphere with the repertoire. I also improvise with a loop pedal which helps judge the mood.
I am always touched by the charming and positive responses to my performances. They most like how personal i make it to their day.
I do. I play classical, jazz, latin, spanish and do covers of pop, rock hits. I have also travelled around Ibiza with a DJ playing Balearic guitar improvisation around dance tracks. I can be versatile.
Thank you for organising Andrew to play for us at our wedding, everyone loved his session and it created a lovely atmosphere. Sally – November 2008 at Cliveden
