Andi C

Andi started out as a classical guitarist and did a ten year sentence working through the music grades.

One of his tutors arranged pop and jazz pieces for solo guitar for a magazine and so every week there was a new piece to try and help refine it for other guitarists to enjoy. From there, switch to electric guitar, add some friends who were into jazz-rock fusion and hey! 

Andi currently plays in a jazz-rock fusion band based in Fordingbridge called Jazzatazz when they’re playing well, Complete rubbish when they’re not!

"I was lucky to work in BBC local radio a few years ago and also helped script and produce some national BBC radio programmes. In more recent times I worked for Atlantic 100.5 FM in Ghana.

The Fret Connexxion is a great programme to be involved with…it covers guitar-based music from around 1600 to 2009 from all over the world in many diverse styles.

I enjoy recording material outside the studio and incorporating it into the programme and I know the guitar lessons I present on air have been well received.
