Andy Fleet

Songwriter, vocalist and piano player andyfleet pulls his influences from the piano men; Tom Waits, Randy Newman, Donald Fagen and Allen Toussaint. Andy's debut album, The Night Falls Fast, is set for release Spring 2009. His jazz and blues flavoured popular music suits his warm conversational voice and his songs celebrate old friends (Get The Boys Round), recount long nights playing cocktail piano (The Piano Bum) and tell tales of nocturnal infatuation (Genya).

He has been gigging in and around London at venues such as the Soho Revue Bar, Cobden Club, Slaughtered Lamb and The Stables (MK).

Andy writes for himself and other artists. His tunes have been aired on BBC radio and performed at some of London's finest jazz clubs including the 606 Club and Pizza on the Park.

Andy loves jazz, composition, live music and motorcycles.
