Welcome To Episode 212
Today we are joined by Andrew Roachford.
Roachford, finally returns to Australia for the First Time Since 2004 for the Then and Now Greatest Hits Tour. Andrew Roachford MBE is someone who channels the energy of James Brown before going on stage each night, and who, on record, summons up the spirit of everyone from Al Green to Joe Cocker. When he sings… you listen, and he is always performing… always playing live somewhere… being a true artist.
Roachford has released 11 studio albums and several greatest hits collections, been sought-after as a songwriter by the likes of Michael Jackson, Joss Stone & Chaka Khan, and consistently toured on his own and with contemporaries including Terence Trent D’Arby and The Christians. For the past 10 years, he has also been part of Mike + The Mechanics, recording & touring with Mike Rutherford’s post-Genesis band.
One of the best soul men around, Roachford has the unique ability to harness the two-way energy between musician and audience. His latest album Then & Now (2023) is an insightfully curated compilation of recently written new music and revisited hits. Join him for one of these legendary shows as he performs all his Greatest Hits including Cuddly Toy, Only to Be with You, Lay Your Love on Me, This Generation, Love Remedy and More.
