Bongo Man is a trained musician who has been playing professionally for over 20 years and has a wealth of experience playing drums and percussion with DJs and bands across the length and bredth of the UK.
He has worked alongside internationally renowned DJs including TODD TERRY, the godfather of UK House and Garage Grant Nelson, Danny O and Ridney (Cafe Mambo residents) renowned producer and DJ Richard Earnshaw, Steve Taylor (iCulture), Junior (Kinky Malinky, Citylife), Mitch Tilson & Jack Disley (SoulMuch, SoulDevine), Pete Isaac (Jelly Jazz) and a number of international DJs including Matt D and Gerardo Smedile (Italy) and The Checkup (Germany).

As well as playing acoustic percussion, Bongo Man also plays a Roland electronic percussion instrument called the 'Handsonic Percussion Pad' which enables him to play 400 percussion sounds from one unit! This is a great option for international gigs, events where parking is not available and/or space is very tight, as it is much more portable than the acoustic set up but still allows Bongo Man to recreate the sound of all the instrument in his acoustic set up and many more!!!

I couldn't recommend Andy more highly. We booked Andy for our wedding, to accompany a DJ and play along with various genres of music. He just added a whole new level to the occasion which set the night off perfectly. Completely professional and accommodating from booking, through the wedding and even afterwards. A genuinely lovely guy, who always has a smile on his face and it is clear he loves his work. I would book him again in a heartbeat, for any occasion, and probably will in the future!

Bongo Man performed for us at our Mardis Gras event, and to say it was a success would be an understatement. From start to finish he was fantastic, he set up quickly and efficiently and was ready to perform straight away. The crowd absolutely loved his music as his bongos brought something completely different to our event. I would definitely use him again in the future.
