Hey ,

 

it was my birthday yesterday and this got me thinking...

 

You know me as a guitar teacher but here's some things you don't know about me...

 

1: At 8 months old I stopped breathing due to a rare lung disease. I had an emergency tracheotomy that saved my life.

 

2: I don't live in a traditional house. I live in a mobile home in the middle of a field in a village outside of Cambridge (Not London!)

 

3: I have 5 children, 2 of them call me Daddy, 2 of them call me Andrew (my real name) and one of them calls me Pops.

 

4: I consider guitar to be my second instrument. I originally learnt guitar to support my singing voice.

 

5: I'm studying for a diploma in counselling. I have a calling to help other people and I believe that being there for another person is the greatest gift anyone can receive.

 

6: At the age of 44, despite some sciatica and hearing loss I feel lucky to still be playing guitar and enjoying life.

 

I also feel lucky to be teaching guitar all over the world and making lessons for you.
