Blind Guitarist

[mojolomjl]

Just had a day in Liverpool helping my wife with the Christmas shopping, which I was not looking forward to
until I heard the sound of Apache being played very competently. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was a
blind man playing See what you think.

Humbling to watch. Good on the guy.

This is Andy who has been playing Shads in the streets for about 25 years - I first saw him in Blackpool where he was a regular round about 1989 I think.

Isn't it telling that his Shads music draws some of the biggest crowds you are likely to see for a street performer.

We had the pleasure of listening to Andy play on the streets in Blackpool back in July. It was a great sound which attracted a large and appreciative audience.
All the best to you Andy if you get to read this.

Cheers,

Bob Withrington

Erm... you might want to rethink that last sentence, Bob! Though I bet Andy would laugh.

Well spotted Noel, I'm sure it was an innocent mistake of Bobs

[Bob Withrington]

Thanks Noel for spotting my innocent error. Hopefully there will be someone around to read it out to Andy.

Cheers,

Bob

What can you say about this guy other than a natural guitar player who's got my admiration.

Noticed one posted a question regarding the power supply to his gear---any ideas anyone?

[mojolomjl]

I'm fairly sure he is using battery power, maybe Alan who knows Andy would be able to confirm this.

I'm sure I remember spotting some shrouded mains outlets fixed into street furniture at the allotted busking points in the centre of Liverpool.
