Hello there, I'm Andrew Bond, welcome to my page. Pull up a chair. Make yourself at home. Tea and coffee facilities are available if you wish to help yourself to a hot beverage. Muffins and other cake-related snacks are available for a modest surcharge.
I'm a singer-songwriter from the UK, and right now I'm recording a brand new EP and travelling in Australia. Here is my page, with some of my songs on it, and my video.
If you like my music then feel free to loiter, but please keep your feet off the cushions and upholstered surfaces. Cheers!

The Bon Bon Club are Sushi Quatro (bass, vox), Thirsty Moore (drums,vox) and Chapatti Smith (perc, vox), although Sushi and Thirsty are better known under different names for their day job as the rhythm section of Sheffield glam-popsters The Long Blondes.
One is called 'Leave It at the Door' The other is 'Beautiful Creation'
I’d really, really love to know what you think of them!
I’ve also just given my MySpace a brand new crazy look!
Don’t forget to review & vote for me on Meer Music* and xfm uploaded**!
The fact that Meer Music are about to start Phase 2 with ABC Radio which will transmit all over the U.S.A on June the 30th has nothing to do with it! (Not much!!!)
Good evening! I'll be starting a tour in the UK next week, and wanted to let you know.
You may have heard my guitar playing and not even realized it was me. I played with Buddy Holly, and when you listen to "It's So Easy" or "Heartbeat"...well, that is me.
We will play some of the Buddy Holly songs that i played on so many years ago, and a few more! I might even sing a couple.
I hope you can make one of the dates?
Best,
Tommy Allsup
Once again thank you for supporting us whilst we were Limousine.
The page for the new band, jato unit, is now up so please take a visit and add yourself (if you havn’t already) by clicking the banner below. There is no music to listen to on there just yet but it shouldn't be long.
Late Nov/early dec is precisely what I'm thinking of. At the mo, my hoped for plans are to start at my folks place (between santiago and valparaiso, if you have a guide book to look em up in), and either head south to the southern highway (heading south from puerto montt, maybe via internal flight to speed up timeliness of the distance), or to head up into the central andes (cajon del maipo area), or head north to the valle del elqui to go UFO spotting. Look em all up in yer guidebook and let me know what you think.
I know of a guy who organises horseback tours into the mountains. Come to think of it, that could be fun.

Well, America is the highlight but the new job is much more involved. Quit A&E and now work in Psychiatry aka "THERAPY" - but I'm also doing nursing on the wards every other weekend. Keeps me full circle with how the system works. Still, it pays the bills. Had an awesome experience in London a couple of weekends ago, finally got to see Turin Brakes perform live. After all of these years and what I've been through in the process, fate delivered me there safe and sound.
Glad to hear you're all "Thai'd" up so to speak... (wah wah waaaaaaaaaah)
Well, the epic road trip has had to be cut short to 2 weeks, what with my new job. However, I will be residing in Las Vegas, LA, San Fransisco and Chicago for the duration. Here's lookin' at you, kid.
