Andy Yates

One of the founding members of The Longest Johns, Andy sings baritone[1] and mainly plays the banjo. On livestreams, he sometimes also plays a baritone ukulele.

Andy appears to have been involved at NGM (a common link for he, JD, Robbie, and Dave), though whether he attended as a student or operated as a sound engineer for the organisation is unclear.

Andy has had a number of previous musical projects including For Want of Rain, a YouTube project that showcases Andy’s solo talent as well as a number of guest artists. Along with JD, he also played in two function bands: The Boulevards, which combined classic jazz with covers of modern pop and rock songs, and Southern Sons, which focused more on folk and bluegrass-style music.

In addition, Andy is a credited sound engineer and has worked as a sound technician for a number of music productions.
