   About ACOUSTICA
About Us -

Acoustica are Andy and Catherine Higgins. We write our own material which we sing and play on our acoustic instruments, mainly guitars, violins, accordion, tiple, and occasionally dobro, mandolin, ukulele and bouzouki. Our personal tastes are varied - Andy likes progressive rock bands like Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator, songwriters like Jackson Browne, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young and Peter Hammill, guitarists like Martin Simpson, Steve Hackett and Ry Cooder etc. Cath likes singers Marc Almond, Kate Bush, David Gray, Sheryl Crow, bands such as Clannad, Crowded House, Show of Hands etc. You are likely to hear about 50% self-penned songs, 50% covers in a typical Acoustica set, and we hope that in our fashion we sound both unique and entertaining!! Loosely we could be described as new-contemporary folk (!?!)

For more info. visit our website at www.itsacoustica.com

"...from the genuinely lovely opener 'Welcome' you pass the 'Lighthouse' and on through Andy's 'Hometown' before settling back to hear Cathy's reflections on a magical 'Glastonbury' festival. Haunting melodies with ethereal harmonies, fluid fiddle passages melt into gorgeous guitar lines. It's good." (Mike Ollier - Get Rhythm)

Acoustica have released two CD albums "Welcome To..." and 'The Oban Sessions'. Both are available from our website www.itsacoustica.com where you can hear excerpts and read reviews. 'Welcome To..' is also available from ROOTS MUSIC, NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE and of course at gigs.
