Your band name?

Andrew Bond

Where are you from?

Blackpool

Who plays what?

I am a solo artist, I play everything myself (acoustic guitar and vocals)!

Got any bad habits?

Too many to possibly mention! My biggest vices are alcohol, believing in dead rock star syndrome and fried chicken! :)

What's the band's history so far?

I have been playing since 2002 as an acoustic solo artist, playing a mix of my critically-acclaimed original songs and popular covers. I do gigs in and around Blackpool, mostly at open mic nights - but I am more than willing to travel should the opportunity arise! I am now starting to gain a strong following and excellent reviews doing what I do! I tend to get a lot of complements for my songwriting and for my singing.

Style and influences?

The Beatles, the Doors, Jeff Buckley, the La's, Radiohead, Nirvana (think 'MTV Unplugged'), Oasis and the Libertines

Best moment so far?

Singing Jailhouse Rock and the Doors to 250 drunk French people at a karaoke bar in Budapest last year and going down a storm!!

Worst/most embarrassing moment so far?

I am starting work as a guitar-playing clown in a couple of months, which could either be a brilliant move or a complete disaster!

Next gig?

Feb 10th - Acoustic Soup, Scrooges Wine Bar, Blackpool March 4th - Liquidlounge, Blackpool

Anything else we should all know about?

My self-produced debut EP 'Catherine Wheel' is now on sale, available through my website and on Myspace!
