A world-class Instrumental guitarist and superb Singer Songwriter, a modern-day troubadour in every sense of the word.
With three decades of international touring and 16 albums under his belt Andrew White returns to the South Island to promote his latest albums ‘Beautiful Trouble’ and Guitarra Celtica Volume11 along with material from his extensive back catalogue.
Andrew White is one of those rare artists who can skilfully combine brilliant finger-style guitar work with an inspired compelling story in lyric, weaving together elements of traditional and contemporary Celtic folk, jazz and blues to create beautifully crafted instrumentals and songs that will delight and inspire.
While his soulful edgy vocals have drawn comparison to the likes of Peter Gabriel, Sting and the late John Martyn, he has developed his own unique individual style influenced by the British folk baroqe and progressive rock musicians of the 60’s and 70’s This is Andrew’s first appearance at The Folk Club, however he is no stranger to folk club audiences having performed at several Canterbury Folk Festivals and venues throughout the North and South as well as
