Born in 1979, Aidy played in various bands around Essex but made the decision to go solo in 2003, and self-released his debut album The Pilot Episode. The album was described by Steve Lamacq (Radio 1 DJ) as having a “cinematic quality that pervades the haunting weirdness” and went on to have moderate success with the track ‘Fifteen Grand’ being used in the movie Bad Trip starring Coolio and the lyrics to ‘They’re Coming’ being published in the poetry book ‘Something to talk about’.
After moving to Cambridge a few years later Aidy has kept a fairly low key existence, playing occasional gigs and releasing material for free via his Aidy.com and steadily growing a loyal online fan base.
Fast forward to 2010 and to the birth of the Jonathan Coulton influenced ‘Song A Week’ project, for which Aidy is recording and releasing one new song every week for an entire year starting Jan 1st 2010. The tracks are released every Friday as a free download at Aidy.com and the growing interest has resulted in a deal being signed with Expat Records and a number of festival appearances in the UK including Green Man.
Now in 2011 Aidy is planning his first release with Expat Records.
