Roachford
Andrew Roachford has been on the UK music scene since the 1980s and continues to grow and mature as a superb artist. His sound may have changed from the soul/rock fusion of debut hits 'Cuddly Toy' and 'Family Man' to more contemporary soul and RnB, but the quality has remained as consistently high as ever. Andrew’s trademark has become his rare ability to put into words, feelings you didn’t even know you had, 'It’s one of the reasons why I make music; to bring out those things that people feel, but haven’t always got a voice for. I like to bring the inner person to the forefront'. And over the years, anthems like ‘Lay Your Love Out On Me’, ‘Naked Without You’ and ‘Complicated’, to name but a few, have done just that.
