Nick Andrew

Nick is a remarkably accomplished guitarist whose range encompasses the full spectrum from flamenco and classical to jazz and rock and whose playing style is technically highly adept but always innovative and appropriate to its musical context, whether on acoustic, electric or MIDI instruments. Nick grew up in Scotland, where he established a formidable reputation as a virtuoso guitarist, composer, teacher and sessioneer. He now lives and performes in South East England.

On "Solo?", the Mad Scotsman plays all the instruments himself. All on guitar! Even the Violas, drums, whooshes and gongs, using modern Midi guitar technology and a "wee computer". As well as 3 original works (2 of which use a small orchestra) there are also re-interpretations of some classic classics like Chopins' Nocturne in Eb, Paganinis' 24th Caprice and (the outrageous) the Flight of the Bumble Bee by Rimsky-Korsakov.

Recommended if you like Nigel Kennedy, Chick Corea, Vanessa Mae, Bond, Deep Purple (concerto), Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Uli Jon Roth, Bela Fleck, Paganini, Bela Bartok or just something different!
