Andy grew up in Essex, but is confident his broad-minded Suffolk colleagues won't hold it against him. He is older than you think, unless you think he is really old, in which case, hey! Leave him alone!

When not on the radio or writing various kinds of music, Andy is a keen member of the Deben Players in Woodbridge. Here he acts and is sometimes allowed to direct his own shows, of which he has written quite a few, most with his own original music.

Andy also plays keyboards in local rock covers band Hurricane Alley, where he receives many amusing comments about the size of his organ. At home, he is tolerated by one daughter and two cats.
