Andi Neate “A blend of folk, jazz and strong female song writing, intimate, atmospheric, and magicalâ€- Peter Mac Calman, Acoustic Affair Since her debut at the Mean Fiddler in London nearly 17 years ago, Andi has been described as having the subtlety of Suzanne Vega and Ani Difranco’s stage presence, together with her own distinctive vocal style. This year will see the release of her third solo album, “Paper Animals,†which while retaining her unique charm and powerful melodies, promises to show a whole new dimension to Andi’s song writing. Over the last couple of years, Andi has played memorable sets at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz club (London), The Spiegel Tent (Edinburgh Fringe) and Glastonbury Festival, supporting both Stephen Frost (whose line is it anyway) and Hazel O’Connor. She has also appeared at The Ullapool guitar Festival supporting John Renbourne , Issac Guillary and Clive Carrol, supported Wolfstone at the Eden Court Theatre (Inverness), Horse MacDonald at Celtic Connections and Grammy Nominee Eliza Gilkyson. In the studio, Andi has recorded with Irelands Mickey Harte for his number one selling album, and with The Bhundu boys on a soon to be released CD. As well as her own solo career Andi has played fiddle with Edinburgh band Salsa Celtica, appearing at events including The Cork Jazz Festival, The Tiblisi Arts Festival (Georgian Republic), Edinburgh’s Millennium Hogmanay Celebrations and the opening of the Royal Museum of Scotland. She has also worked on a number of different Theatre productions including The Edinburgh Lyceum’s “Comedy of Errorsâ€, Stella Quines’ controversial production of “The Hangman’s reel,†and Donna Rutherfords internationally acclaimed piece “The Whole Truth nothing but the truth,†which was performed, among other venues, at The Royal Court Theatre in London. This year has held many exciting new adventures for Andi. As well as her annual visit to Glastonbury Festival, and reappearance at the vibrant and expanding fourth Prague Fringe Festival, Andi headed over to the Falkland Islands for her first performance in the Southern Hemisphere. In July, she flew to Italy to perform at the Palermo Arts Festival in Sicily, and October saw Andi arriving in Canada for a two-week tour of Ontario.
