About Me


WHEN THE BOAT COMES IN - AVAILABLE ON CD OR MP3 DOWNLOAD FROM:
..Andy Findon is an excellent artist who happens to play a "whole bunch" of woodwind instruments at the virtuoso level. Even more memorable is that Andy Findon has recorded over an hours worth of excellent woodwind music on this CD. You have never heard woodwind ensembles like this. This is a thoroughly enjoyable CD and it should be in everyone's collection. ..

Having been working as a freelance session musician for thirty very odd years, I thought it time to make my own albums. The first one was released in 2005. "Andy Findon - Tracked" on the Quartz label is available at http://www.quartzmusic.com/cd/QTZ2029.htm
My new album is now available at: www.andyfindon.com, either as a CD or for download (with a free "bonus" track). The title track is a specially re-recorded version of the Youngs Fish, "Sea To Plate" TV jingle, which I recorded originally last year.
My material is a cross section of styles, classical to rock. My speciality is multi-tracking. I play flutes, clarinets, saxes, pan-pipes, whistles and loads of other blowy type things.
I've been a member of "The Michael Nyman Band" since 1980.
See my website www.andyfindon.co.uk for up to date biog and more samples from both albums. I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
