Andrew D Brewis

Andrew is a singer/pianist with a style all his own; whatever he performs, he delivers with considerable flair and panache; believing that while the choice of repertoire is important, it is how you deliver that makes the difference. Andrew is equally at home entertaining lounge lizard style in the intimate surroundings of the piano bar as he is performing on stage, radio and t.v. His first love however is cabaret.

Andrew is currently resident at the prestigious Wentworth Club. He is much in demand both as a solo performer and also with his band, Red Hot and Blue, appearing regularly at events and concerts throughout the uk. Andrew has recently returned from New York and Boston where his music has received rapturous plaudits.
