It was a brush with death and the intervention of friends, that turned andy's life around and after quitting alcohol he began a whole new relationship with music.

His style is emotional and haunting and there are echoes of his influences, as well as a freshness that take you on a emotional journey and leaves you wanting more.
“trailing the line of urban troubadour. Andy Oliver’s poetically rich folk music teeters along the poppier side of things as he croons floating, delicate melodies over acoustic subtlety” Spoonfed London
“Beautiful stuff. I don't have much advice, except to say keep it flowing” (Jeremy Spencer, Formerly Fleetwood Mac.)
