Andy started playing guitar in his mid-teens and made his live debut at the age of 19 playing the prestigious Cavern Club in Liverpool home of The Beatles.

After playing in a variety of bands in Liverpool Andy had a 5 year break in his mid twenties before returning to the local circuit with Wirral based Classic Rock Band "The Ex-Files" in August 2005. Andy enjoyed 4 years with The Ex-Files.

After parting company with The Ex-Files Andy was offered the role of Jonny Ramone in the country's biggest and best Ramones tribute band "Ramones Clones" in August 2009. Andy played this role for over a year, playing around the country and gained some valuable experience of playing some larger venues such as "The Wharf" in Tavistock, "The Globe" in Cardiff and "The Robin 2" in The Midlands.

After leaving The Ramones Clones, Andy joined one of the most established bands on The Wirral circuit, rock covers band "KUBE" in August 2010.

After 9 months of success that included playing Birkenhead's "Revolver" (formerly "Hotel California) on New Years Eve to a packed house, Andy decided it was time to move on.

The next chapter involved forming Indie Band "The Felony" in May 2011 and had an immediate impact on the local circuit playing 50 gigs in the first year and receiving high praise wherever they played.

In May 2013 Andy decided to move on from the Felony and in February 2014 formed an exciting new band "Don't Bring Frank"

Alongside Andy in the line-up for "Don't Bring Frank" are the former singer and former guitarist from "Dizzy", former Bass player from "Rhythm Travellers" and the former drummer from "KUBE".

"Don't Bring Frank" already have a lot of dates in their diary for 2014.
