It was 30 Years ago Today…

Hey there Hope all is fine and dandy in your world. It’s non-stop glorious sunshine here in London – been 30 degrees all week. We Londoners get quite silly in the heat. People drop tools, pubs spill onto pavements, clothes are discarded, and then after about 24 hours, we start

No Sleep til Roskilde…

Here is a new made-up true short story which takes place 27 years ago in the summer of 1996 – a certain international football tournament has reached the semi final stage, Britpop is about to hit it’s sell-by-date and a new pop band is waiting in the wings with a

Lorries, Truncheons, Adjective Animals…

Hey there Hope all is well. Newsletter time. As I type I can report that today is my birthday. How old you ask? Well 27 years ago I turned 27. And in 27 years time I will be 81. So that makes me…..not the coolest or sexiest age. But then

Watch Andy’s One-Man Show

Back in August 2022 I travelled up to Edinburgh Fringe with a guitar, a suitcase full of hopes and dreams and a life size cut-out of Ricky Gervais.   I then spent the next 24 days performing my one man show Anoint My Head How I Failed to Make it

B.S. in the House

Last year my brother and I polished up some of our old Big Slice demos and compiled them into a 12-song compilation for posterity’s sake called Don’t Mind if I Do. The album was released on all the digital platforms, and we thought that would be that. But then we

Sleeves – the Shop that Comes to YOU

Here is a new made-up true short story for your reading pleasure about the very brief time I worked in fashion. It’s all true, apart from the bits I made up (the Kevin Bacon Footloose bit, for example), and it takes about 6 minutes to read. You can download it right

Too Much Fun

Thanks to all those who came, laughed, jeered, heckled at my Anoint My Head live London show at the Museum of comedy in November.  I had too much fun.  And special mention to Dominique the Ninja Landlord who was in the audience and didn’t mind my terrible impersonation.  Plans to

Thoughts from the beach…

Greetings from Sydney, where this year I am spending Xmas with my family-in-law or, as they say here, ‘Chrimbo with the rellys’. It was a gruelling 24-hour flight via Qatar, and some unfortunate scheduling meant we took off just before the England v France World Cup quarter-final match. I asked

For One Night Only…

In early December we got the band back together again. That band was Big Slice. Formed out of the pointy birds ashes in 1994, we toured the Camden toilet circuit for two years during the explosion of Britpop until our Moog player buggered off to find fame and fortune with

For those who couldn’t make it to Edinburgh, you can now watch the show in the comfort of your underpants… You can either dip into the songs or watch the full monty below….. First off a very early Pointy Birds track for the completists (of which there are none). It’s
