Andy first took to the stage aged 12 in pubs and clubs, with his guitar, voice and harmonica, often jamming with local musicians including Rory Graham (aka Rag and Bone Man). Before hitting 18, he had gigged as a solo act in top London venues including The Jazz Café and 100 Club. Driven to create a distinctive and exciting act, Andy learnt to play foot operated drums, giving his songs a beat to get people on their feet. Drawing on influences as diverse as Muddy Waters, Monty Python, the White Stripes and Noel Fielding he developed a one man band show. In recent years Andy has brought this show to Spain, the Netherlands and France has performed twice on BBC Radio and on London’s Resonance 104.4FM, and has had articles written about his music in The Sun, the Mirror, and The Daily Mail newspapers. On Christmas Eve 2015, Andy’s Christmas music video, ‘A Naked Noel’, was broadcast on Channel 4, and in 2017 Andy was interviewed on the London Live TV station to discuss his festival appearances and new live album release. When the summer arrives, Andy performs at festivals all over the country inducing laughter and dancing amongst the drunk and disorderly. He has performed at many of the biggest and best UK music festivals including Glastonbury, Beautiful Days, Standon Calling, and Green Gathering.

AARIC SNOOK

The songs I write revolve around my relationships with the people around me, experiences that I have had and using those experiences to embellish a narrative in song. I find inspiration in experience and through arts and literature. Sometimes I think that the music says enough without the need for lyric, so I write instrumental pieces alongside songs.

In the next six months, I will continue to write songs as well as develop songs I already have in my repertoire and release them. Over this same period, I am looking forward to playing more gigs and developing various projects.
