The Andy White network of friends and fans, the world wide white, started in 2001 to share music, poetry and video of Andy’s which isn’t available anywhere else. To date there are four albums, a DVD compilation, a spoken word CD, a poetry book, an EP, and a single. They’re all limited editions and compiled, chosen or produced by Andy himself.

Since 2015, streaming and downloads have made everything available instantly and world wide white releases mainly happened online—during lockdown in 2020 and 2021, Andy recorded live versions of his early albums Himself and Kiss the Big Stone for download on Bandcamp, with the videos going up on his YouTube channel.

However, in 2021 Andy released a second compilation of rarities and B-sides, Rarer, exclusively on CD and for download through Bandcamp and our webstore. This is the latest world wide white release.

A Million Miles is a 2001 solo concert live at the 12 Bar Club in London, where you wrote the track list.

Radio is a compilation of BBC and Dutch radio sessions and a 2003 interview with Tom Robinson on his BBC 6 Music show.

Oak Center is live recording from a 2004 concert in the US – Oak Center, Minnesota – with Radoslav Lorkovic on piano.

Video is a DVD compilation of all of Andy’s video clips from the original clip of Religious Persuasion in 1985 to No Way Out in 2006.

Troubadour is some Instant Karma from Andy – a mini-album of unreleased songs, half politically themed, half written about his family.

Some Kind of Belfast is based around an ‘in conversation’ evening about Andy’s book 21st Century Troubadour held in a Belfast bookshop. Andy talks in depth about the book, touring, and sings songs from his back catalogue, as well as reading a couple of extracts. Also includes readings of selected poems from his first poetry collection ‘The Music Of What Happens‘.

Stolen Moments is Andy’s second book of poetry. Only available in Brisbane Australia, where it was published, we have a limited edition of signed and numbered copies.

Baby That’s OK is an EP recorded for Andy’s 2015 UK tour. Four new songs from The Growlery, and a stepping stone from How Things Are to his next album Imaginary Lovers, due for release in 2016 as part of the box set Studio Albums 1986–2016.

Dignity is a single which Andy wrote and recorded for the refugees. Proceeds go to Refugee Legal in Melbourne, who represent refugees and asylum seekers in court in Australia.

Himself Live is a live performance of Andy’s third album with Rod McVey on Hammond organ and Sebastian White on drums. The trio were going to play it on the 30th anniversary of release when the pandemic cancelled the tour, they did it online and you can watch here.

Big Stone Live is a live performance of second album Kiss the Big Stone. The endless lockdown continued and Andy’s solo performance is edgy and raw. The songs sound great in the format in which they were written. “In the dark times …”. Indeed. You can watch it here.

Rarer is Andy’s second compilation of outtakes, rarities and B-sides, starting from a studio recording from 1987 to Andy and Sebastian’s Stay at Home from 2020. You can find details of all tracks here and order the CD through our webstore.

Once you order any of these from the Andy White Shop I’ll email you when the next world wide white item becomes available.

Thanks and keep in touch!
