A night with Harvey Andrews is a night to put you in touch with yourselves,
with your past and your present, with parenthood and childhood, with
work and play. He's as fine a raconteur as he is a singer and a writer,
so go to one of his concerts and prepare to be seriously entertained
by someone who can genuinely claim to have done it all successfully
for 35 years!

London-based songwriter. His songs combine the intimate, emotional
roots of folk with the cold, stark production style of modern electronica.
Check out his new album, available to buy online now.

Johnny writes songs to make you laugh. Songs about life, love, lust
and power showers. And bad tempered girlfriends. He plays regularly
in pubs and clubs in and around Southampton.

A highly inventive, Portsmouth-based singer-songwriter. His songs
are "full of wry observation, wit, compassion, humanity, dexterity
(both manual and lyrical), and cover everything from politics to the
size of his manhood"... or at least that's what he reckons!
