Andrew was born on a farm near Tavistock, Devon. His early studies were with Colin Sauer (violin) and Keith Lovell (viola) of the Dartington String Quartet. He went on to study viola at the Royal College of Music and the Hochschule fur Musik in Frankfurt, Germany. Andrew has had a wide experience within the profession - from work in symphony and chamber orchestras to chamber music and contemporary music ensembles. He continues to be in demand as a viola player in various groups in the South West region (for instance in the Ten Tors Orchestra and other professional chamber groups) and as a teacher.
