Yes, that’s Andy Burnham on bass!
Back in December 2024, Andy Burnham our new prime minister went to Forsyth music store with a couple of messages that, with any luck, will carry through into his time as Prime Minister @10downingstreet: supporting small businesses like independent guitar shops and getting music right back at the heart of schools.
In this video he is touring the guitar shop with Directors Emma and Simon, fifth-generation members of the Forsyth family, and jamming in their Piano Department with their piano manger Will.
See the video of Andy playing Blue Monday by New Order. So do you think he’s any good or should he get a few guitar lessons? See below to check out our tutors that could teach you – or Andy Burnham.
