Andy Eastwood brings variety entertainment into the 21st Century in an upbeat stage act combining showanship and instrumental artistry!
Andy Eastwood developed a passion for jazz and popular music from an early age. Having taught himself ukulele, he made history at Oxford University because he was the only musician ever to give his degree recital on the instrument! He is considered one of the world’s foremost ukulele players and is proud to have contributed to the ukulele’s continuing popularity.
His tour schedule of major theatres and cabaret venues worldwide prompted The Stage to call him ‘the busiest man in showbusiness’.
The legendary Sir Ken Dodd gave Andy his break into theatre. He made over 300 performances as special guest with the great comedian who described him as ‘a one-man music festival’. He has worked alongside stars such as Cannon & Ball, Joe Pasquale, Frank Skinner, Des O’Connor, and Roy Hudd.
For several years he has been portraying ukulele legend George Formby in the touring show We’ll Meet Again.
Andy’s one-man show is a popular attraction for cruise liners and corporate functions. Audiences too have taken him into their hearts. Two award-winning summer seasons in Blackpool have earned him the title of the resort’s ‘Top Solo Artist’.
