we landed the starring role in our very own Truman show…"

Andy's Other Work
Written by Andy Platt, No Horizon is the musical inspired by blind genius, Nicholas Saunderson. Saunderson’s life was an astonishing triumph against the odds. With a £90,000 Arts Council grant the show was set to tour in March 2020, before Covid forced the cancellation, two days before. The re-staged tour is set for Spring 2023. Dates to be announced.
"An epic story of succeeding against the odds…"

"A truly inspirational story… It has it all…"

In his own words, Andy’s music is borne of a mix of ‘getting some things right, getting many things wrong, seeing beauty, seeing injustice, knowing love and knowing pain.’
