Since
her debut at the Mean Fiddler in London
nearly 17 years ago, Andi has been described
as having the subtlety of Suzanne Vega
and Ani Difranco’s stage presence,
together with her own distinctive vocal
style. This year saw the release of her
third solo album "Paper Animals",
which while retaining her unique charm
and powerful melodies, promises to show
a whole new dimension to Andi’s
song writing.
Over the last couple of years, Andi has
played memorable sets at Ronnie Scotts
Jazz Club (London), The Spiegel Tent (Edinburgh
Fringe ) and Glastonbury Festival, supporting
both Stephen Frost (whose line is it anyway)
and Hazel O Connor.
She has also appeared at the Ullapool
guitar Festival supporting John Renbourne,
Issac Guillary and Clive Carrol, supported
Wolfstone at the Eden Court Theatre (Inverness),
Horse MacDonald at Celtic Connections
and Grammy Nominee Eliza Gilkyson.
In the studio Andi has recorded with Irelands
Mickey Harte and with The Bhundu Boys
on a soon to be released CD.
As well as her own solo career Andi has
played fiddle with Edinburgh band Salsa
Celtica, appearing at events including
The Cork Jazz Festival, The Tiblisi Arts
Festival (Georgian Republic), Edinburgh’s
Millennium Hogmanay Celebrations and the
opening of the Royal Museum of Scotland.
She also has worked on a number of different
Theatre productions including The Edinburgh
Lyceum’s "Comedy of Errors",
Stella Quine’s controversial production
of "The Hang-mans reel", and
Donna Rutherford’s internationally
acclaimed piece "The Whole Truth
Nothing but The Truth", which was
performed, among other venues, at the
Royal Court Theatre in London.
Last year held many exciting new adventures
for Andi. As well as her annual visit
to Glastonbury Festival, and reappearance
at the vibrant and expanding fourth Prague
Fringe Festival, Andi headed over to the
Falkland Islands for her first performance
in the Southern Hemisphere.
In July, she flew to Italy to perform
at the Kals’art Arts Festival, Palermo,
Sicily, and October saw her arrival in
Canada for a tour of Ontario.
