Andy Walker- Guitar, Saxophone, Keyboards.
Andy taught himself to play piano, then guitar, then saxophone. He did so good a job that he now teaches both instruments!
A session player of note on the Scottish music scene, Andy has recorded at The Brill Building Studios in Glasgow, and played live with Gallagher and Lyle. Andy’s songwriting skills have not gone unnoticed either. As part of “New Leaf”, he had 3 albums released by Sony in Japan, and his current band “Skyline” has recently released their debut album.
Formerly with top “techno- duo” Dangerous Bathing, Andy has developed a commercial ear for a great song, and playing live is still an abiding passion. His guitar heroes include Ronnie Wood from The Faces and The Stones, and Steve Mason from Gene.
Songwriting champions include Walter Becker and Donald Fagan from Steely Dan, Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys, Gallagher and Lyle, and Lennon and McCartney.
When he’s not engrossed in music, Andy likes nothing better that to watch his favourite Sci-Fi series - Star Trek!
Andy is Reload's expert when it comes to the technical stuff. He's the one that does most of the sequencing, and makes sure everything sounds great!
Andy can also play saxophone at the church, or at the reception over dinner. Click here for more information. |

Drew McCulloch - Keyboards, Guitar, Mandolin
Drew’s career started when he was 17. He won a songwriting competition with Beat Instrumental, which led to a publishing deal with British Lion Music in London.
This in turn led to a recording deal with Polydor, and eventually a producers post in Rock City Studios in Shepperton.
“Working in Shepperton Film Studios was great” says Drew, “especially at lunchtime; they filmed Superman, Star Wars, and Alien while I was there, so you never quite knew what strange creature would be standing next to you at the bar”.
Drew worked with Gary Numan when he made “Cars” and with Peter Cox and from Go West. He wrote “Learning How to Rock and Roll” for Cliff Richard, and produced several records for Comedian Jim Davidson.
Drew also had a top 3 hit with the Tartan Army hit “Scotland Be Good”. |
