About Me


St. Andrew's Cross is the name Andrew Thomas plays Celtic/Folk/Rock under. Born in Mountain Ash, Wales, raised in Edinburgh, Scotland but now residing in Florida. Many Scottish and Irish classics are covered. Also a large selection of Sea Shanties, Australian and general songs about the (over)consumption of beers and whiskys. I also play a selection of rock songs mainly by popular British and Irish bands. I am very proud of my original songs which are either celtic or at least celtic-derived. I am in the process of recording these solo (vocals/guitars) and I'm attempting putting together a full project and going balls-out that way. Any celtic rockers in the Florida area please e-mail me if you are interested in being involved, especially if you play and trad. instruments.THE SONGS ABOVE ARE DEMO VERSIONS - HOPE YOU ENJOY. I AM SEEKING MUSICIANS TO HELP RECORD "REAL" VERSIONS OF THESE AND OTHERS. I AM ALSO SEEKING FINANCIAL BACKING FOR RECORDING/PROMOTION. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED E-MAIL AT: [email protected].(Some of my non-celtic stuff can be heard at madtheswine.com or on the Mad the Swine link below.)

You are The Emperor

Stability, power, protection, realization; a great person.

The Emperor is the great authority figure of the Tarot, so it represents fathers, father-figures and employers. There is a lot of aggression and violence too.

The Emperor naturally follows the Empress. Like an infant, he is filled with enthuiasm, energy, aggression. He is direct, guileless and all too often irresistible. Unfortunately, like a baby he can also be a tyrant. Impatient, demanding, controlling. In the best of circumstances, he signifies the leader that everyone wants to follow, sitting on a throne that indicates the solid foundation of an Empire he created, loves and rules with intelligence and enthusiasm. But that throne can also be a trap, a responsibility that has the Emperor feeling restless, bored and discontent.
