Andy White

Andy White is a Belfast singer-songwriter whose first EP Religious Persuasion and 1986 debut album Rave on Andy White kick-started a career which includes twenty albums, two books of poetry and a novel. Writing with Peter Gabriel, forming ALT with Tim Finn and Liam O Maonlai, touring the world many times over with his acoustic guitar and winning Ireland’s top music awards, Andy has lived in Belfast, Dublin, Switzerland and, currently, Melbourne.

Locked down for the best part of two years, he escapes the southern hemisphere in early 2022, returning to tour the UK with new album This Garden Is Only Temporary, released on Floating World Records, January 28^th. Unfortunately the full UK tour has again fallen victim to Covid, so third time lucky in 2023.

Andy’s Birmingham shows are not to be missed. Stories, rockers, new songs and old favourites, his son Sebastian on drums. “I can’t wait to sample some of the Kitchen Garden Café’s fine beers and cake. Does this mean I don’t have to live on Zoom now?” he messages from home lockdown.
