Details:
Andy Rigby has been making and playing harps, flutes, marimbas and teaching since 1991, after ten years working as an engineer. Well known in Australia as a teacher in schools, a performer at festivals around the country, and instrument maker at community events, he has also performed extensively with family band Blackwood, Moving Harps and many other ensembles and musical combinations.

'Tunes of the Andy's' and 'Andient Music' are two albums that started out as a simple idea to record all the tunes I have composed in the last five yearsor so. Then I added to it some of my older tunes which I still perform (but are not avaliable on CD anymore), a few 'and friends" tracks to mark where I am with my music, and before i knew it I had a two CD's!

The recent upserge in Kwela whistle music suggested a whistle theme for one disk (Tunes of the Andys) and of course harp is the main focus for the other CD (Andient Music).

From Africa to Ireland, South America to Australia, this is harp music cthat will both sooth and inspire you with infectious rhythms!
