Andy Barnes

Soul music is a passion for Andy. In particular Tamla Motown which he has loved since childhood.
Andy also enjoys playing Northern Soul, the Philly Sound, and other genres of soulful memories covering many decades.
We all enjoy nostalgia and we tend to appreciate legendary artists. We might have a favourite era, maybe an artist or a special song. That is what Andy loves to present on radio.
It all started in 1996 on Corby Radio, followed by 7 years at Peterborough’s Lite FM from 2000, then back to Corby Radio where he has presented the weekday Drive show, a weekly movie quiz show, and the weekly Northern Soul and Motown show.
In the 80’s and 90’s Andy spent a few years DJ’ing on his local night club scene, including in a residency in Leicester City Centre. He recalls there is nothing quite like being in a DJ booth on a Saturday night with a heaving dance floor!
Along with a life-long soul friend Des Barber, Andy continues to present a number of live “Everything Soul” afternoon and evening events each year.
Semi-retired from his day job as an Accountant, Andy enjoys nothing more than being in his studio playing the songs that mean so much to so many, and is delighted to be part of the team at Everything Soul Radio.
