Then, and Now

I’ve played hundreds and hundreds of gigs, and playing live is my absolute favourite thing to do. Nothing beats the rush of those shared moments with other musicians, and the crowd, the one-off inspirations and the huge smiles.

I’ve recorded in professional studios, and have great gear at home for remote recording (Mac / Logic / UA Apollo interfaces).

I’ve got basses to cover every tone, fretted, fretless, and electric upright, even synth. To cover live bass, I have small, medium and large bass rigs, and I’m used to playing with in-ears.

Get in touch if you want to collaborate on a project, or if you need a dep – standard function gig songs are locked in.

Testimonials

Amanda Andjelkovic – Event organiser and musician, Amanda’s Music Events

I have had the pleasure of working with Andy on many occasions. He is the ultimate professional. Easy-going. Happily will learn any material required. He is trustworthy and reliable and therefore I have had no hesitation in employing him as a Dep bass player for my function band. The energy he brings to his performance has a ripple effect which lifts the entire band and wows the audience. His ability to read the mood and the music as it is happening is quite spectacular, bringing the rhythm section to a whole new level. And he does all this with a million watt smile. He is one of the most passionate musicians you will ever meet.

Rachel Redman, Vocalist / Frontperson, Haystacks Band

Andy was a fantastic addition to our lineup as a dep bassist. He showed up on time, came well-prepared, and played the parts with precision and great feel. Not only is he a solid and talented musician, but he’s also easygoing, fun to work with, and a real team player. His positive attitude and professionalism made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Would definitely work with him again!

Nick Harradence, Appaloosa

Andy depped for us, clicked quickly in 2 rehearsals (which were great fun!) and aced both gigs!

James Massiah, Keyboard player, Soul Searchers
