Quote: “I’ve always thought of Andy Earle, long a fixture in Durham clubs, as a bluesman, with his spare, clean guitar work perfectly complimented by an unusually expressive voice, capable of everything from a mesmerizing whisper to a rafter-shaking roar. Whether detailing life’s joys or its sorrows, Andy is an utterly engrossing performer. In short, whatever the configuration and regardless of musical genre, Andy Earle is one of Durham’s treasures. Catch him whenever you can! – by John Taylor Live Onstage
