Silly Moustache
My name is Andy. I'm a British singer, songwriter, guitarist, and online teacher. My passion is for American acoustic music.
I was a drummer in blues, R&B, soul, and rock bands in the '60s and '70s. (I am that old!)
From the early '70s I played guitar, Dobro and mandolin bluegrass bands, and later formed my own trios, and run an Acoustic Music club.
Before "Covid" I had taught when asked, but come "lockdown" I have been increasingly asked to teach/mentor help people world wide, via "ZOOM" - I love to help people become more proficient, and to increase their enjoyment of playing acoustic guitars.
If YOU are interested in one to one Zoom lessons, please contact me on the email address below.
I hope you enjoy my songs - and I hope that you find my "chatty" videos both informative and entertaining. I'm always looking for new subjects - so comments, queries and questions are welcomed.
