About Me:

New Andy Dwyer album on sale
Local folk singer and songwriter Andy Dwyer has an album in the shops…currently available from the artist or from the Unicorn Folk Club which he runs on Friday evenings.

The LP is entitled “Ballads of a Wanderer” and it is on the “Real Records” label. Nine of the twelve tracks have been written by the versatile Andrew who sings all the songs and plays six and twelve string guitar.

Every folk fan in the Tamworth area must have heard this talented performer live at some time or other and the record is a necessary addition to a record library.

Andy Dwyer is a folk music fanatic. Back in 1970 he was doing as many as five residencies a week as he built up the experience necessary to help him establish a reputation.

In 1971 he opened the Unicorn Folk Club at Orton on the Hill and he has continued to run it ever since. Then in 1974 he was runner up in the National Folk / Rock competition held by the Melody Maker.

Listening to Andy’s LP is a pleasant enough experience. On side one “Thimble” is an outstanding track delicately sung and played.

“Day to Day Affair” is one of Andy’s best known songs, being a commentary on what is accepted as common place and the reluctance of society to do anything about it. Yes, there is a social message in some of the Dwyer songs but it is always tastefully delivered.

“I Live Not Where I Love” and “Feelings” are also pleasant songs penned by Andy and go to make up a creditable first showing for this amiable and friendly young man.

An improvement could have been achieved if there had been more variation in the guitar work in some of the songs and “Mountains of Mourne” is delivered a shade on the fast side.

Amongst the other musicians who play on the disc are talented local violin player Roy Ashby and Andy’s dad Carl who plays bongos and drums.
