In 1998 Andrew, together with colleagues in the School of Music at Colchester Institute, formed the function band Sould. Initially it was known as ‘The Staff Band’ and later when they started to gig regularly at functions, pubs and live music events they adopted the name Sould. A demo CD was produced and the band was very active for about ten years. It went into ‘retirement’ in the late 2000’s and reformed for a special gig in June 2016 on the occasion of Andrew’s retirement from Colchester Institute.
