Andy Brotherton ~ Guitarist/Tutor

Playing

I have played the guitar since the age of 9. Music has taken me across the world, playing live and recording in Russia, Peru, USA, Canada, Australia, Europe & throughout the UK. I have played with many famous musicians, at many prestigious events including Cheltenham and Manchester Jazz Festivals.

Mostly nowadays I play solo performing my own arrangements, playing standards from several eras of jazz, popular, classical & world styles and my own music. My style is a mixture of Jazz, Original Compositions & Techniques, Classical, Flamenco & Popular elements. I was hugely influenced by the popular music of my childhood, Stevie Wonder, James Taylor etc. And also great jazz musicians like Sonny Rollins, Stan Tracey & Jim Hall.

Recordings are available from Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, BandCamp and from the Works page of this site.
