Andrew Cadie

Andrew Cadie is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer who inhabits a crossroads between the traditional folk music of his native Northumberland and the words and sounds of the vinyl heyday.

Best known as one half of the successful duo, Broom Bezzums, Andrew Cadie’s solo show is marked out by his powerful live-energy and engaging stage-presence. Audiences in small venues and at large festivals have already been wowed with everything from stomping guitar anthems, intense fiddle-singing renditions and wild dance tunes, culminating in standing ovations and multiple encores.

His own writing and performance style is deeply informed by an enormous internalised repertoire of traditional work songs, American folk and soul, fiddle and pipe tunes and even some psychedelic rock. Through a decade of busking this material during his formative years, powerful elements of all of these styles have merged in to a distinctive and highly personal blend.
