Biography

Sandy - Lead Singer. Started to tread the boards first singing when she was 5 years old and by the age of 9 was performing on the stage as "Annie" and "Sandy" in Grease. She then went on to perform professionally including the West End, on Sunday Night Live, at London Palladium. She has appeared in Chicago, and Pantomime both directing and choreographing productions. Sandy has had solo successes around the pubs and clubs but is enjoying her time now in the Band.
Abbie - Keyboard Player and Harmonies - Abbie is our youngest member of the band but none the less oozes enthusiasm and talent ... . She first met Sandy when she was 9 and has gone from strength to strength and has a natural ability for harmonising alongside Sandy making the band unique. . Abbie has been performing since the age of 7 in many different productions, performing main roles such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and Sandy in Grease. She has been playing keyboard/piano from a very young age and has achieved a grade 7 standard in Piano which means she now plays at a professional standard. She first started playing in bands 1 year ago when Abbie, alongside other musicians, provided live music for a pantomime production with an amateur dramatics company and has enjoyed playing in bands ever since!
David - drums - David has appeared in many bands over the years and is extremely experienced and loving his time with Sands of Time.
'Sands of Time' bassist, Keith Howard, has been performing in live bands for over 25 years. Influenced by the active bass-playing styles of John Deacon (Queen), Paul McCartney (Beatles), Bernard Edwards (Chic, Sister Sledge) and Stuart Zender (Jamiroquai) – Keith has a personal preference for 'active' bass playing. “Anything with a lively bassline that gets people moving", he says.
He has played a range of different musical styles in live bands, studio recordings and for theatre productions, and enjoys playing the wide variety of songs in the ‘Sands of Time’ set-list.
He combines a Jazz bass guitar with an Ashdown bass amplifier. “I don’t go in for effects pedals and all that with a bass. I like the sound of a clean, unadulterated and punchy bass - which the Jazz bass and Ashdown gear provides.”
Andy - lead guitar -

Experience

We have extensive experience between us all having played in function/show bands in the past. Sandy also has the added advantage of having extensive theatre experience, and has even appeared on the West End at the London Palladium and been in many musicals over her lifetime. She can hold an audience together and showcase from hearing a pin drop to partying the night away.
