The likable Irishman is one man who wears his political opinions on his sleeve. It is hard not to get caught up in his wit and keenly observed rhetoric. While he share much with the likes of Billy Bragg, he also has his own style which sets him apart from other singer/songwriter out there.
With a career now spanning 20 years and 12 albums, he has a large back catalogue to draw from and songs like Religious Persuasion and James Joyce's Grave never lose there appeal and sit happily alongside newer material like Message To You and Mean Motherf**ker. It is a pity that for an artist of Andy's quality there was not a bigger audience, but the 30 or so who attended were treated to one of the best gigs that we have had this year. We have already booked Andy again for the spring of 2009 and we are sure that on the back of this gig, that it will be a lot busier.
