Band History

Over the years the band has had many names including: A Different Shade of White, Emo Taylor, For Heaven's Sake, Cheeky Boiz, Funky Boys and Grande Roques Beats.

The band was initially formed late in 2007 with the members that are in the band today but it has not been clear sailing.

After a few months lead singer Jordan Griffin was replaced by James Robson as the band sought after a new direction, only for Jordan to be reinstated as singer about a month later.

A few months past and the band came to a stand still with guitarist Ollie Hargreaves pursuing a new line in his playing by joining metal band Your Touch of Fate.

Following a few months of confusion amongst Funk Andrew members the band began to pick up speed again only for Jordan to be once again removed from the band as the trio saw an opening in the Guernsey market for playing instrumental sets.

In late 2008 Jordan was drafted back into the band for the third time and they became formally known as Funk Andrew.

The Future

Funk Andrew are currently in the process of writing originals and hope to become regulars on Guernsey's live scene.
