One of the most compelling and consistent soul artists the UK has produced, Roachford, finally returns to New Zealand for the First Time Since 1995 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.
Andrew said “I’m really looking forward to finally coming back to New Zealand!! It’s such a beautiful place to do shows and has a special place in my heart…this is gonna be epic!! See you all soon”
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.
