Andy Burrows releases his album, The Colour of My Dreams, on May 26th. The album, the Razorlight drummer’s solo debut, will be released with the aim of raising funds and awareness to a Winchester children’s home, Naomi House, and their Jack’s Place appeal.

The Colour of My Dreams was written and recorded at home by Andy, and was conceived during a break in Razorlight activity when the drummer stumbled across a book of poems by an old family friend and began setting them to music.

Before the accelerated world of Razorlight took his life off on a whirlwind of plane rides and pop drama, Andy Burrows was a small, scruffy-haired boy growing up in the provincial British town of Winchester. His own particular talent sat him obsessively at a Juggs Blaster drum kit which he mastered at the tender age of eight. First band The Buzzgroves played mega gigs in his bedroom, with his friend Jonathan Cosgrove and brother Dave Burrows as accomplices. Soon he was promoted to drumming in The Shoos, playing local village halls while still at an age where the audience couldn’t see his head over the kit.

The Cheriton Road scene was close knit. Opposite Andy’s house lived Peter Dixon, a family friend and sometime poet who drank in the nearby pub. Next door neighbour was David Thomas, a local art teacher, illustrator and the man who set up Andy’s first drum kit.
