10 things you didn’t know about Andy

  1. He is a qualified football coach and committed (likely to be) Leeds United supporter.
  2. He plays guitar, though not as well as he used to, and is the proud owner of a 1958 Fender telecaster.
  3. He met Richard Madeley and Richard Whiteley (deceased) whilst appearing on the Yorkshire TV local news programme "Calendar" in 1981 when the group he was in won "Best Young Band in Yorkshire". He has the video to prove it, but has it under lock and key due to extreme hair embarrassment.
  4. He has appeared on Blue Peter but, much to his disappointment, didn't get a Blue Peter badge. The video is under the same lock and key.
  5. The most drunk he has ever been was on the Isle of Rum in Scotland working as a conservation volunteer. A number of young archaeologists excavating an prehistoric settlement on the island set up a "pub" in an isolated bothy for the duration of the dig (the island has no cars, tarmac roads, nor hostelries…). The rest is a single-malt induced haze…
  6. He is the proud father of three sons Liam, Alec and Dan; all growing up far too quickly. His long-suffering partner Caroline wishes he'd got a "normal" job…
  7. He lives quite close to Monty Don, in the beautiful rolling Marches of North Herefordshire/South Shropshire. It is possibly the only thing he is close to Monty Don about.
  8. Andy briefly worked in Architecture. One of his more modest projects was designing a bus shelter in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire that has appeared intermittently on Last of the Summer Wine. It is a humble shelter and has no worthy qualities other than it keeps the rain off and has been leant on by Peter Sallis.
  9. Like many others he chose the wrong options at school and failed spectacularly with CSE grade 4 Chemistry and grade 3 Physics. He blamed the teachers, music and girls. He passed Maths, English, Geography, and a few more, despite the distractions.
  10. The abundant hair of his youth, with short spiky interludes, is now gradually falling out. Aches and pains are becoming a fact of life, particularly lifting so many big plants about. Maybe he should get a proper job…
