andrew g description
Playing in school orchestras and performing in barbershop quartets is not the immediate image that comes to mind when you think of Andrew G but that is exactly where his life long love of music began. Sadly, there are no photographs remaining of Andrew in his colourful striped jacket and handlebar moustache but buy him a few drinks and he will be more than willing to give you a rendition of “Down By The Old Mill Stream”, complete with hand gestures.
Throughout his younger years in Brisbane, he kept up his musical passion by learning to read and write music, learning to play the bass and double bass, attending not only music school but weekend school as well as studying for a year at South Brisbane TAFE.
With music in his head, Andrew G left school and, like all red-blooded teenage boys who want to pick up girls, started performing in bands. Not content with just playing music, he also got jobs as a roadie where he not only learnt a lot about the technical side of things but also the exact angle to wear his jeans to ensure bum crack will be revealed when picking up a huge amplifier.
Eventually he found himself working as a Black Thunder pilot and doing on-air mid-dawn shifts at B105 radio station in Brisbane. Working as hard as he was, he quite often slept on the studio floor. Keeping that in mind, in radio, if a body is found lying flat out on the ground, they will just either assume that you’re exhausted from working hard or that you’re Jason Donovan and they’ll leave you alone.
Around about this time, Andrew G shot a little video tour of himself on his skateboard and sent it to the powers that be at Channel [V]. recognizing talent immediately (or at least someone with their own skateboard who could go and get the lunches and bring them back quickly), they snapped him up and put him on "Whatuwant".
From there is was only a hop, skip and a skate to be asked to host Australian Idol, one of the most phenomenally popular shows on Australian television. (Something that was proven ast the 2004 Logies when, not only did the show receive an award, but Andrew was nominated for the Silver Logie). Andew is over the moon with excitement to be at the helm of the 20087 season of Idol once again.
Though it is not just Andrew’s love and knowledge of music that makes him one of the foremost presenters in the country, it is his love of people. Even though it’s a buzz interviewing some of the world’s biggest stars including Madonna, Pearl Jam, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and U2’s Bono, he is as enthusiastic about meeting fans, tour managers, right down to the guy who hoses down the stage and disinfects it after the Big Day Out – everyone has a story and Andrew loves to hear them.
With Andrew G’s hectic schedule it’s hard to imagine him finding time for anything else. Yet he managed! Being a keen poker player himself (he recently won Ten’s Celebrity Joker Poker) Andrew was the best choice to host the Network’s newest quiz show Con Test, if anyone can spot a poker bluff, it’s Andrew. Working alongside Brigitte Duclos as co-host, Andrew fits into this role with comfort and ease.
