Andrew plays many instruments including Guitar (Acoustic and Electric), Banjo, Mandolin, Ukulele, Bouzouki, Keyboard, Electric Bass, Cajon and Shruti Box.

He has written four original actor-musician musicals for the Folksy Theatre, and co-wrote the original music and lyrics for Plothole Blackhole, a new musical (you can listen to recordings from the Industry Sharing at The Other Palace here). 

For Folksy Theatre's open-air Shakespeare tours, Andrew adapted and arranged traditional folk songs, composed new music, and re-scored traditional Shakespearian songs to fill these productions with live music - you can see an example below which is an original arrangement of the closing song from Love's Labour's Lost.

​
He created a mix of electronic, '80s-inspired and acoustic underscoring for RedBellyBlack's production of OK, Bye​ and Scratchworks Theatre's Hags: A Magical Extravaganza.

For non-live projects Andrew has created original underscoring tracks for vloggers Jodie Micciche and Hannah Howell's online videos, Scratchworks Theatre's Making Magic social media video series, and original music for the Juniper Tree Un:Voiced Podcast. He also song on Sam Lee's BBC Folk Award-winning song Lovely Molly.

Please listen to samples from the above projects on Soundcloud, and if you would like to enquire about a commission you can contact me here.
