Andrew is an extremely talented musician with 7 CD's to his credit.

He has toured New Zealand and Internationally as part of The Nairobi Trio and also guests with the Lazyboyz - though mainly features in the Blues Brothers Tribute version of the band.

Over the last few years, Andrew has developed a solo act which has been well received where ever he has performed.

Andrew sings and plays soprano, alto and tenor Saxes. He uses a laptop for playing backings and a full PA - although he also has a smaller portable battery powered system.

His repertoire is a mixture of easy listening, jazz, blues and light rock. As well as live entertainment, Andrew can DJ as well.

Andrew has played many weddings, corporate functions, parties, pubs, jazz festivals and even markets. His solo act is ideally suited for those occasions where affordable yet classy entertainment is required.

Note: a duo version is also available with the inclusion of a guitarist.

Dear Andrew

Bob and I would like to thank you most sincerely for the wonderful music you provided at the party we held to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary last Saturday night.  All night long we had guests expressing their appreciation for the exceptional music and I know that all present felt that your skill and musicianship added to the enjoyment of the evening.  There were guests there of all ages and I felt that your selection of music suited everybody and was extremely well chosen as well as being so wonderfully played.  Both Bob and I felt that having you there made the night the outstanding success that it was and we do thank you most sincerely.

I do hope that, in the near future, we get another chance to hear you again.

Yours sincerely
Margaret and Bob Coldham

Hi Andrew,

I have not spoken to one person who was not impressed with you on Sat night
They loved the whole package and the way you interacted with them. .. "a class act"
I have been to a few parties with the same people and never seen them so quick to dance
It wasn't like someone tried to get everyone dancing at a certain time they just responded right through the evening

Look forward to the next opportunity

Thank you
