Andrew Marston (born 24 October 1981) is a British-based radio presenter, music producer and club DJ, known for his extensive work with musicians under the BBC Introducing scheme. He was the first person to give airtime to artists such as Ellie Goulding, Becky Hill and Peace.
Andrew regularly represented his school as a musician playing keyboards in various bands and with their orchestra. It was through a couple of gigs he did for the church and the city's MP where he was offered his first paid job playing the church organ at St Barnabas and at All Saints in Hereford. This he did for two years while regularly touring the country in a covers band.
At the age of 14, Andrew become a volunteer with Hereford Hospital Radio, providing PA services at local events and presenting a magazine show called "MusiChat". He later became the station's vice-chairman and publicity manager.
By 1999, he'd already become a keen supporter of new music and put together HHR Live '99, where all of the city's main bands performed on stage in Hereford's High Town, in front of thousands of people, attracting front-page coverage from the local press. In 2000, he won a bronze award for BT Non-Music Programme of the Year for his local news show.
At the age of 14, Andrew became the resident DJs at the Jailhouse Nightclub in Hereford during their weekly kids' nights and soon after started providing mobile discos.
Over the next few years he went on to hold down a number of long-term residencies at no fewer than ten venues, while continuing to guest at clubs across the region. Some of his corporate clients have included high-end repeat bookings for West Mercia Police, Worcester Warriors, Worcestershire County Cricket Club, British Telecom, Staffordshire University, The 100-mile raft race, Tesco, New Look, TK Maxx, Bulmers, Argos and Cargill.
