His work spans opera, theatre, dance, pop, cabaret, installation, sound design, radio, tv, film, the concert hall, and digital platforms.

The results are sub-atomically awesome.Thanks also to Kit Orton for lending his silky vocals to serve as catalyst in this potent concoction.You can read more about Drew on his website.

Special Edition 01 - Series One retrospective

Do you remember those sit com episodes that were essentially just clips of previous episodes stuck together and then passed off as new content? Well, welcome to this special edition of The Two Rivers Café which tries to pull a fast one in exactly the same way.But this isn't some massive fraud we're committing on your ears, this is the chance to hear all of the wonderful music from Series One of the podcast in one easily-digestible episode. PLUS! Host and co-creator of each piece of music, Andrew Fisher, gives you his thoughts on each one and provides a few insights as to their creation. No spoilers but let's just say he's pretty happy. Which makes a nice change. (This is a joke. Andrew is one the jolliest men you could meet).It's all very lovely and certainly worth thirty minutes of anyone's time but especially yours.And with your appetite whetted, please do help yourself to the original episodes from Series One which are available from exactly the same place that you found this one.Find out more about Andrew Fisher and his creative work as a composer here:https://andrewfishermusic.com/ Season One of The Two Rivers Café podcast began in September 2021, with a new episode most Wednesdays, featuring an eclectic range of uniquely talented guests from every musical walk of life.
