BIOGRAPHY:
With ukulele, banjo, violin and guitar, Andy Eastwood’s act is an upbeat blend of dazzling instrumental artistry, foot-tapping songs and bright, breezy humour.

Andy began performing at an early age, studying classical violin and piano.  But he also taught himself ukulele and made history at Oxford University as the only musician ever to give his degree recital on the uke!  He is now considered one of the world’s foremost ukulele players and is proud to have contributed to its continuing popularity.

The legendary Sir Ken Dodd gave Andy his break into theatre, and he made 350 performances as special guest with the great comedian - who described him as ‘a one-man music festival’ - as well as working alongside stars such as Cannon & Ball, Joe Pasquale, Frank Skinner, Des O’Connor and Roy Hudd.

Andy’s one-man show is a popular attraction for cruise liners, and his tour schedule of major theatres and cabaret venues worldwide prompted The Stage to call him ‘the busiest man in showbusiness’.  He portrayed ukulele legend George Formby in over 1000 performances of the touring show We’ll Meet Again, and his festival appearances have taken him to Italy, Germany, Austira, Sweden, The Czech Republic, Finland and Oklahoma City, USA.
