Verified profile

Andy Mulligan first took an interest in the guitar as a teenager in Liverpool, influenced in equal parts by John Williams and Jimi Hendrix. Alongside his formal music training he sang in several choirs and played guitar in local bands. He attained a BMus degree in music (specialising in guitar and composition) at Cardiff University, and later briefly studied guitar with John Mills at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. After completing a PGCE in Secondary Music at University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, he undertook two tours of the US singing with the Black Mountain Chorus of Wales. On his return he started working for Rhondda Cynon Taff Music service in 1999 as a guitar tutor. As a musician Andy has enjoyed 10 years of performing and recording with Only Men Aloud, alongside a variety of engagements on the guitar in pit orchestras, rock bands, smaller ensembles and as a soloist. He also takes on occasional recording projects, working on garageband, pro tools and iMovie.

Andy played at my wedding back in April during the ceremony, and later at the entrance to the reception venue. We were honestly blown away by how good he was 😁 He has such a wide range of classical style guitar pieces that he can play, but can also do fingerstyle arrangements of popular songs too! I would highly recommend Andy, as he was so accommodating and helped us to achieve the perfect atmosphere for our special day 🎵🎸 If you're looking for a classical guitarist for your wedding, then look no further, because Andy is your man! 😁
