Andrew Cowburn on piano is worth his weight in gold

From other musicians:

Drew's skills as a team musician, accompanist, sight-reader, MD and with his thorough knowledge of the Musical Theatre genre meant that Monday's "Spotlight" Cabaret performance was of the highest possible order. A delight to perform together for this event.
