“Everywhere I have played, I have been asked back! There is no better recommendation……”
“The down to earth family man was a crowd and judge favourite for his non-pretentious style and willingness to take on a variety of musical styles without the usual histrionics associated with reality television shows. And while that uniqueness may have enhanced his beginnings in the show, his amazing musical and vocal ability, honed over 30 years as a performer on the pub & club circuit, entrenched him as a real musical talent who still has plenty to offer…….”
“As a seasoned live music patron, I went along to hear what Andrew, and on this occasion, his Trio Acoustic Show, had to offer; as his story, voice and journey intrigued me somewhat.
What I witnessed was 100% gratifying in so many facets!"
His wit, stage presence, humility & likeability all played a huge part in what was an amazing experience.
But all jaws dropped when he opened his mouth and delivered with that voice, heartfelt renditions of songs with a power and authenticity that still reverberates.
That voice live...... it is a gem and a beast in one!
Too many times, Australia produces talent that is oft ignored due to factors of image and other variables..... This is one talent and one voice that simply should never be ignored.
Go to a live show. You will want to see him again and again.......
Listen, engage and you will see and hear so much more than what was thankfully unearthed on Xfactor.”
