Press

"This album had me at the first note. It is an awesome piece of work. A pure delight to listen to'

— Music News Scotland

“This is a record that deserves your attention for so many reasons. It's clever, witty, dark and mysterious but most of all it's good. Very good. One of the finest debut albums I've heard in a long, long time. ”

— Iain, The Music Critic

"...an album that is garnering deserved comparisons with the like of Randy Newman, Elton John and Ben Folds"

— John Dingwall, Daily Record

“Performing with wonderful piano accompaniment, and sung with some incredible lyrics, there is no doubt that Mr Lucas is a talented musician/songwriter.”

— CB, Maverick Magazine

"this is a solid and competent debut album, with extravagant flourishes and great charm."

— Misformusic

"A gifted performer and arranger, his debut album consists of eleven slices of jazz/swing tinged pop rock, consummately played and sung with real emotion."

— Misformusic

““Weekend Millionaire” easily proves that catchy melodies and sharp lyrics easily trump the false gods of simplistic riffs and maximum loudness. Andy Lucas is a classy guy and this is a classy album.”

— Bluesbunny, Bluesbunny

“the magic of this debut comes from the wry lyricism and clever song-writing skills of Lucas himself. The Miserable Musical Prostitute, a take on a lounge piano player's social observations, is seriously hilarious”

— Jenness Mitchell, Allgigs.com

"...witty and brilliant...Weekend Millionaire is one of the most solid debut albums I have heard. I love the characters he portrays in his songs. Its like watching a musical, but not! Then when you want to listen to something more serious, you have tracks like Burn that sweep your heart away."

— Teepoo, Ride the Tempo

“...the album’s title track, Weekend Millionaire... benefits from a snappier attitude, some sassy female backing vocals and a genuine sense of class. ”

— www.indielondon.co.uk

“From the opening few bars of Birds...to the closing orchestral flurries of Burn, this debut feels astonishingly mature. ”

— Allan Wilkinson, Northern Sky

“Lucas looks at things differently, that is obvious. If you tune into his wavelength then this album will reward you by the bucket load. ”

— Iain, The Music Critic
