Andy Abraham

Dubbed the ‘voice of the people’, Andy shot to fame when he finished runner-up on world famous TV show The X-Factor, in 2005…

Now a platinum-selling artist who has performed for millions around the world, he is one of Britain’s most exciting male vocalists and in 2018 made a surprise appearance during the main stage finalé at Summer Soulstice.

Andy’s incredible vocal talent has seen him perform to sell out audiences at world famous venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, and the demand for his talent is global. He’s performed all over the world; the USA, Egypt, Turkey, Serbia, Ireland to name just some.

Yet, of all Andy’s achievements in the music industry, none is more special to him than an appearance made at the ‘after party’ of the 2006 Ivor Novello Awards. Andy performed a medley of songs by legendary production duo Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff. With the production veterans in the audience, Andy performed a tribute to their work including a show stopping rendition of ‘Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now’, which he also sang at Summer Soulstice 2018.

Andy has always been a keen supporter of charities. The proceeds of his 2006 Top 20 hit, ‘December Brings Me Back To You’, went to Barnardo’s & he has given invaluable help to Cancer Research, Children In Need, Nelson Mandela’s Children’s Fund & several more worthy causes. He works as an ambassador for Rainbows Hospice for Children & Young People, who do wonderful work for children and families feeling the effects of life threatening & life-limiting illnesses.

We are honoured for Andy to help support us too with performances at the festival in both 2018 and 2019, as well as Cherry Lodge’s own ‘To Soulstice With Love’ charity ball at the Holiday Inn Elstree in between.
