An artist on Kingsway’s original ‘New Celts’ album (along with Robin Mark, Brian Houston & Joanne Hogg) and more recently on ‘Engage24’ with Ian Hannah, Andy’s style has been described as ‘Ethno-Celt’ – a mix of acoustic ethnic sounds fused with contemporary musical sensibilities.
He has been part of the pioneering team at Causeway Coast Vineyard under the leadership of Alan and Kathryn Scott since 1999 and continues to serve there with his wife and family.
Andy is also one of the founding members of the Coleraine House of Prayer team along with Ian Hannah. Engage is an intercessory worship gathering in Coleraine, Northern Ireland that started life as a one-off 24hr worship event back in May 2000 and continues to grow as a regular gathering of worshipers and intercessors from various church backgrounds.
Worship leading throughout Ireland and beyond, Andy’s music has taken him to such diverse venues as churches and conferences to the nightclubs of Eastern Europe and even the brothels of Thailand (you can see video clips of that here). He passionately believes that when people worship, then God does amazing things just like He promised – and it doesn’t have to be ‘in church’.
He has also created OpenSourceSongs.com, a global worship songwriting collective where song writers and worship leaders collaborate freely on an ‘open source’ basis with their ideas.
Andy lives in Coleraine with his wife, daughters and an old cat named Tangles!
