About the event
Andy White / Emma Scarr
Andy will be promoting new album ‘The night is approaching though some would say it was morning’ recorded live at Abbey Road.
40 years after the release of debut EP Religious Persuasion, Irish songwriter Andy White is back home living in Belfast and tours the UK and Ireland May–June 2025 in support of new live album The night is approaching though some would say it was morning (Floating World Records). The tour starts at the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival in his hometown and finishes at Glastonbury, where old chum Billy Bragg has invited Andy to appear on the Left Field stage.
The story of the live album begins with the friendship between Andy and producer John Leckie (The Bends, Muse, Roy Harper, Baba Maal). The two met during one of Peter Gabriel’s recording weeks at Real World Studios and immediately hit it off, with John mixing and producing many of Andy’s recordings (including the recent AT album with Tim Finn). After one of Andy’s concerts, John told him he wanted to buy an album of what he had just heard. A solo album recorded live. No band. No overdubs. “Where are we going to record it?” “The best-sounding room in the world – Studio Two at Abbey Road.”
