BIO

Andy is an Irish singer songwriter who was previously a hospital doctor, but his proudest moment as an Irishman was captaining England’s Barmy Army during the Ashes in Australia.

His audiences have ranged from MPs at Westminster to Young Offenders’ institutions, to ski-ers in the Alps to Gordon Brown at the Labour Party Conference.

Many of Andy's songs have been used on national BBC TV and radio, and by independent UK TV broadcasters. His second album, 'SON' has made a massive impact. The inevitable conclusion you draw from reading the emails to andyflan.com is that the songs on that album genuinely cause serious life-change. The title track 'Open Arms' has been the soundtrack for hundreds of folks 'coming home'. Cross Rhythms called it 'A creative triumph' and YOUTHWORK magazine raved, 'this is a worthy addition to the very limited canon of 'great' modern Christian albums, and more importantly, to the thinking person's CD collection.'

There is heart for global justice in Andy's songs that is reflected in their earthy lyrical content. Many of them are used by NGOs such as Tearfund, Christian Aid, Stop the Traffik, Stop Climate Chaos, and Make Poverty History.

Recent live offerings have ranted about climate change, the broken lives of young people in the UK, and the effects of the tsunami of 2004.
