Andrew Cushin '26

When a 25-year-old songwriter is heralded as a major new talent by two icons of British music, it’s time to take note. Noel Gallagher has not only championed the young Geordie, but he also produced and played guitar on his track ‘Where’s My Family Gone’.

Raised in the Newcastle suburb of Heaton, Andrew Cushin first made waves with his self-released debut single ‘It’s Gonna Get Better’. since then, Andrew released his debut album ‘Waiting For The Rain’, which spent three weeks at #1 on the Official Independent Album Breakers Chart. He then signed to LAB records, subsequently releasing official Top 40 album in ‘Love Is For Everyone’.

Hitting the road, he has toured arenas across Europe and North America as special guest to Louis Tomlinson, played big outdoor shows with Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller, Blossoms, Lathums and The Reytons and completed an extensively packed UK and Ireland headline tour in 2023/24 and 2025, including a hometown Newcastle City Hall show in October 2025.

And now he's back - see a rising talent in the UK music industry up close and personal with his full band on the Meccie Riviera!
