The Quirky Beardy

Welcome to The Quirky Beardy, author Andrew Beardmore's music channel! 

Most people know me for my fiction and non-fiction. However, my first love is music - but it took until four years ago to take the plunge after forming a duo with my sister, Louise. 

Alas, in October 2023, life changed forever when first our Mum died - and then Louise was diagnosed with an aggressive and terminal cancer.

Mum and Louise were my two biggest literary supporters, whilst always willing me to do more with my music. So, here is a meeting of my musical and literary capabilities! 

The Quirky Beardy is a series of original songs that I have written and recorded on traditional equipment! I am also now performing these songs live around the Midlands - with each followed or preceded by spine-chilling or humorous tales!

Of course, Mum and Louise would have loved all of this - so bitter-sweet - hence each show has a poignant instrumental dedicated to them both.

RIP Mum (14/10/2023) and Louise (14/11/2023).
