Andy founded the band in 1980 with violinist Marc Elton. Following the split in 1985, a change of tack led to touring as guitarist for american soul legends Bill Withers and Geno Washington and his work as a sound engineer to five American tours and long tours of Europe and the UK with prog heroes, Jethro Tull. Nothing would prove as satisfying as playing with Solstice though and so, inevitably, Andy reformed the band in it's current line up in 2007.
