A Little Summer Time a Lotta Gigs!
It’s been a packed summer touring with Mike and the Mechanics with still some dates to round off the year before group are smashing 2015 with their “The Hits Tour” – it’s looking to be a treat.
Even with a packed schedule with Mike and the Mechanics, Andrew found space to do his own work and had a great time with the Studio Live Sessions earlier this month – performing and recording to tape in Liechtenstein at Little Big Beat Studios in front of a live audience. Check out this great teaser trailer of the Studio Live Sessions:

What a great warm up for the next few coming months. As always Andrew will be working away with some great Gigs in both the UK and in Germany – August through to November.
If this has wet your appetite and you’re hungry for some Jazz this weekend why not catch Andrew for his next show – it’s proving a hot ticket with some great dining and great jazz this Sunday at Tongue and Groove Presents.
Andrew can’t wait – and neither can we.
Hope to see you there!

World Hunger Day 2013
Andrew will be performing live at World Hunger Day 2013 – the event is going unplugged for the first time in a series of up close and personal live music sessions dedicated to Jazz, Soul, RnB and Gospel music in the heart of London’s Soho
Other performers include Joe McElderry, Anthony Strong, Barb Jungr, Jumoké Fashola, London Community Gospel Choir, Mari Wilson, Omar, Randolph Matthews and Tammy Weis.
Talking about the concert Andrew said:
“With Jazz in the very heart and soul of my musical craft, I can’t think of a better time and place to showcase the journey of my 25 year career and what better cause than to step up myself for the end of Hunger and Poverty. I am sure all my fellow artists for this special concert season are as happy as I am to donate our collective talents in order that others have the opportunity to build a brighter future for themselves. This effort is all about partnership and success can be achieved and in our lifetime. As I’ve sung so many times, ‘Get ready…get ready for the dawning…”
After The Hunger Project UK’s successes of two sell-out concerts at the Apollo Victoria and the Royal Albert Hall in 2011 and 2012 respectively, this year’s World Hunger Day events move to an equally iconic venue – PizzaExpress Jazz Club in Soho, which was redesigned in April and now features artwork celebrating its jazz roots. Since 1969, PizzaExpress Jazz Club has welcomed on its stage some of the world’s greatest musicians including Ella Fitzgerald and Amy Winehouse.
This year, World Hunger Day 2013 falls on 28th May 2013 and will be celebrated throughout the extended May Bank Holiday weekend with six exciting shows (26th and 28th May 2013 inclusive). The entire weekend will be hosted by Award-winning Broadcaster, Journalist, Singer and Actress, Jumoké Fashola.

Back in the studio
Since finishing gigging last year and taking a short break we’re delighted to say Andrew has headed straight back in the studio to work on the follow up to Addictive.
That got us thinking about the sort of album we’d love to hear Andrew make and so we thought we’d open up the question – so please tell us:
- What’s your favourite Roachford sing ever?
- How would the album you’d like Roachford to create next sound?
