About Andrew

Andrew Nix, born  22nd August 1968 just outside Selby, North Yorkshire, has established himself on the organ circuit not only as a musician but also as an entertainer. His varied musical repertoire along with his Yorkshire humour has made him one of the country’s favourite performers.

It was when Andrew reached the age of ten that his interest in organs became apparent. His mother had an organ at home and Andrew sat down and learnt several Christmas carols (even though it was in the middle of summer). His parents saw the potential and arranged lessons for him. Although he was taught by two teachers (one being classical) he soon developed his own style.

Shortly after leaving school Andrew was offered three nights a week playing in a local club where he accompanied artistes and played for dancing. This “training” proved priceless as at 17 years old he was appointed Organist and Musical Director for a Theatre Group performing at Butlins, Barry Island. Andrew thoroughly enjoyed this position as he was gaining experience and confidence. After three further seasons with Butlins and one for Haven Holidays Andrew became fully freelance as he was increasingly in demand for concerts and dances nation-wide on both Theatre and Electronic organs.

In May 2000 Andrew started performing on a Roland Atelier and now currently tours with the AT900c  (Freelance). Andrew fell in love with the richness of the Atelier which produces a perfect backdrop for his wide range of playing styles. Audiences are enthralled by the range of sounds and are stunned by the truly authentic Theatre organ sounds which are an asset to Andrew's programme. From Ballads to Latin, Marches to Musicals, Andrew performs music to suit all tastes played in a refreshing style and presented with his own brand of light hearted humour.

Andrew is one of the busiest performers on the circuit but still plays for dances, accompanies cabaret shows and even squeezes in appearances overseas. This lifestyle has given him the opportunity to work with many top cabaret names. He and his good friend Tony Stace are now firmly established as festival organisers. Trading as Topnote Events they host weekend breaks at two superb venues (Mercure - Fairfield Manor, York and Mill Rythe Holiday Park, Hayling Island) featuring the finest of the country's performers. Their next weekend event at the fantastic 4* Hotel in York is MARCH 1st to 4th 2013 then SEPTEMBER 20th to 23rd 2013 with both weekends priced at £239 pp Half Board. Mill Rythe is July 12th -15th 2013. Prices from £185 per person Full Board...contact Louise Stace 01609 748295. . Details can be found on their website.

Tony & Andrew have been performing their very own "DUET SHOW"  throughout 2012 at selected venues around the country. The feedback from the enthusiastic audiences was excellent, so the lads have arranged a series of concerts for 2013.
