Making music is more fun than just downloading it!

About Me

I used to play at some of the open stages 'round Glasgow (the Halt, The Glasgow Songwriters, etc), and even had a short lived residency at the Halt. That was about 6 years ago, but recently I've got the bug again! Although the songs on my MySpace page are 'produced', when I play live it's just me and an electric guitar (and maybe an fx pedal).
Come along to a gig and check me out.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/1/2006
Band Website: myspace.com/andrewquinnmusic
Band Members: Just me, a guitar and a computer.
Influences: Everything!
I've never been a fan of labels and I think musicians should listen to all types of music, even if it is outside their 'comfort zone'. Check out my friends list - You might hear something new! My early influences are Adam And the Ants, Jesus Jones and Pop Will Eat Itself. Even as I get older, those bands will always have an effect on what I do. Now, I'd count my main influences as John Prine, Gary Numan, Nine Inch Nails, Kris Kristofferson and Robert Cray.
Right now, I'm listening to KT Tunstall Drastic Fantastic and Newton Faulkner Hand Built by Robots

How many albums can you name?
