About me
Andrew's professional career began in 2007 as Assistant Musical Director on 'South Pacific' and 'Disney's Beauty and the Beast' (UK Productions), subsequently taking on keyboards for the new UK and Ireland tour of 'Evita' (Bill Kenwright Ltd.)

Prior to this Andrew had a lengthy career in amateur theatre, directing the music for the Irish premieres of 'Spend Spend Spend' and 'Grand Hotel' at the Waterford International Festival of Light Opera, while conducting 'My Fair Lady', 'Sweeney Todd', and 'Carousel' in his home town of Sheffield.
Additional Skills
Andrew trained as a composer at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and, as such, is very proficient in musical typesetting and possesses an advanced understanding of Finale and Sibelius Notation Software.

He has built up good experience as a rehearsal pianist and has quick sight-reading skills.
