Bio
Andy Gunn learned his craft from listening to the old blues masters such as Lightnin' Hopkins and Muddy Waters after tracing the sound back from the rock music he was originally into as a teenager...immersed in this rich musical heritage he was fortunate enough to hit the big time and signed a worldwide recording contract with Pointblank, Virgin's blues label, with his school band Jumpin' The Gunn.
Travelling to Memphis, he rubbed shoulders and exchanged riffs with Al Green’s rythym section and Pops Staples to name a few...
After that, back in Britain he then released an album with Provogue and played alongside many acts including The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, in Gary Moore's Midnight Blues Band, with Martin Stephenson and with harp player Errol Linton.
Personal highlights for Andy would be when he supported Buddy Guy at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh, jammed with Albert Collins in London or backing up Geno Washington at the Tartan Heart Festival.
He has 3 self produced albums entitled “Flip Flop Kinetics”, “Bonar Bridge Sessions” and "Regional Variations". They are a great mix of blues, rock and folk music and have a sound brimming with soul and originality. His latest album, as yet untitled, is an intimate, acoustic recording featuring some great playing on his National Steel Tricone guitar…
Recently, he went on a busman's holiday across the states where he met and jammed with many great musicians in the big music centers such as New York, Chicago, Memphis, Nashville and New Orleans... soaking up the inspiration and walking the avenues of his musical heroes...
