You have arrived - feet first - at the the musical home of Andrew Hawkey and Mole Lodge Records. Welcome, and thank you for stopping by. I'm currently engaged in tidying up and de-cluttering this website, and it's something of a work in progress!
Most importantly, all three CDs, including Hindsight (June 2023), are available to purchase via Paypal - go to the Music page.
'Andrew has been in Wales more than anywhere else in his life - he's Welsh, as far as I'm concerned. He's got a real feel for a place, and he's found a place he reckons is Heaven on Earth, and that's mid-Wales. He has a huge range of musical friends that he can call on, and he makes good use of them. He came here in the '70s as a kind of hippie dropout - I'm sure he won't mind me saying that - but his writing and storytelling and all the rest of his canon is through the roof. He's completely unique: I don't know anybody quite like him ...' - Frank Hennessy, Celtic Heartbeat, BBC Radio Wales, 14 April 2024
'Andrew Hawkey is the hidden heart of outsider Welsh music. For nearly 50 years he has inhabited a singular place at the centre of the Welsh singer/songwriter/folk/blues scene. As a solo performer, writer, producer, and as a band member, he's carved out a unique place for himself and is still going strong. ... Andrew continues to plough his own unmistakable furrow between music, age, outsiderdom and the ups and downs of life.' - Jeb Loy Nichols
'[Andrew Hawkey is] underground by choice (that of freedom)' - Paris Move review, June 2023
