A long-time resident in Switzerland with his wife Celine his musical passions centre around a certain Paul John Weller and The Cure. He claims he can’t decide between them although in our discussion I think the former clearly won out.

Outside of those twin Musical passions Andrew has a wide ranging love of music which is reflected in the 51 songs in this Spotify Playlist below:
