Andy Chung, My Heart is Yours to Keep

Andy Chung has performed live, both solo and accompanied by other musicians, extensively throughout Scotland and the north of England.
Over the past couple of decades he has become a well-loved character on the Scottish folk/world music scene, a finalist in the 1998 Danny Kyle awards at Celtic Connections in Glasgow and a regular performer at the Edinburgh Folk Club.
Kirkcaldy-born Andy drifted into a career in music after leaving Glasgow School of Art in 1988, playing in a succession of rock bands and rhythm and blues outfits. Though the musical seed was sown at a very early age through the Chinese folk music much beloved of his parents (within the Chinese community in Scotland, his father is a well-known writer and performer of Hakka mountain songs, a traditional form encompassing storytelling and intricate wordplay, often with mischievous humour) his influences are also drawn from Scottish and Irish song writing and a love for country blues styles.
