Songwriting?  From a young age, Andrew's main goal was only to be a novellist, and indeed, he has 13 teen fiction novels for Kindle available online  (see Amazon, B&N.com, etc, ) ,has sold the option on a romantic-drama screenplay, seen a stageplay of his run at The Palace Theatre, Southend, London in 2011, and had his pantomime scripts performed around the world, from Aberdeen to New Zealand. Details/reviews of all his writing can be found on his writing blog at http://andrewhawcroft.blogspot.ie/

 

In the background however, was a love of music, which included a passion for musical theatre and singing.  Andrew has performed as an actor and singer  (sometimes in leading roles) in plays, musicals, pantomimes and concerts, in venues such as the mighty Sheffield City Hall, The Bournemouth Pavillion Theatre, the Galway, Town Hall Theatre, and others. He has performed as a solo artist at venues around Galway City, including the famous Live Lounge at the Galway Radisson, Rouge restaurant on Dominick Street, and it's smaller sister, Le Petite Rouge across the street!

 

It was only natural that Andrew should love writing music as well as performing, and although to this day he is completely untrained as a musician, and can hardly read a note of music on a page, he has become a prolific songwriter.

 

Here on this website's WHAT I DO page are Youtube links to just some of his songwriting work.

 

Only three ambitions remain.  

To play the Phantom in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.

To play Jean Valjean in LES MISERABLES.

To date the actress Hayley Atwell. (Deep sigh)

 

Andrew was born in England, 1974, and currently resides in Galway City, Ireland.
