   About Andy Thornton

Andy Thornton has been writing songs since the day he first picked up a guitar at age 14. His instinct for telling a story is only equalled by his passion to get beneath the surface of everyday life and unveil the secrets of the human heart; whether it be anger, frustration, tenderness, wild love or hope of justice.

'SUNFLOWER GIRL will gently break your heart and then immediately restore your faith and for that alone, it deserves its place among the singer-songwriter classics... Listening to SUNFLOWER GIRL is an experience you'll never forget.'
Maverick Magazine

'Thornton's music legitimately serves as a conduit for his emotions and as a window to his soul.'
Fyfeopedia

'Andy Thornton is a man of integrity and depth, his music is an extension of that and I like it.'

Hi Andy

We hope things are moving along normal parameters for you.


When we were little we said "We want to be a musicians when we grow up!" But people said, "Come on now boys, you know you can't do both.
"

Talk to you later.

How far is Chelmsford from, Glasgow? 23rd Feb is a bit of a dream ticket in my book!
"Graceland" and "Stone cold winter" on the same stage would be superb.

Awra best
