Between the years of 2014 and 2024 Luke De-Sciscio recorded seventeen full length albums. These songs, though recorded live and often through no more than a single microphone, became the tablet upon which he chronicled the seasons of his life.
It is no small miracle that from that vantage point, weaving tapestries behind his guitar, Luke De-Sciscio amassed over 10 million plays on Spotify, has been invited to open for legends such as Cat Stevens and Jose Feliciano and become a frequent spin on BBC6MUSIC.

Post Plainsong, Andy toured as a guitarist on the Pink Floyd The Wall Tour, backed Billy Connelly, written TV and film scores and even provided music and voice for Spitting Image! From having huge hits with The Scaffold, to touring with Led Zeppelin, via being on an album produced by Jimi Hendrix to hanging out round at Paul McCartney's house, you name it: Andy's done it!
Expect fantastic harmonies, scintillating guitar playing and stories galore . Opening the show are the highly regarded Tamworth based folk trio The Raconteurs .As those who have been fortunate enough to catch them in full flight will testify, a Raconteur’s show is an exhilarating experience. Midlands based they may be but many from the many other parts of the UK have complimented them on their particularly stylish delivery of this virtuosic brand of folk . These three outstanding musicians have developed a tight bond, demonstrated through their well-crafted, tasteful arrangements and ability to bounce ideas around the stage. “Folk Just Got Better”:
