Andy Jefferys

Andy was first introduced to the world of travel at a young age through family trips to the Balearic Islands, Spain and Portugal, and later as a teenage trombonist in Surrey Youth Orchestra, travelling to many destinations in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the former Yugoslavia as part of their summer tours. Picking up an electric guitar was a revelation, the trombone was forgotten and, as part of an unsigned band, further trips playing to bemused crowds in Denmark and Germany cemented his love of all things European. Andy now resides in Colchester and, after eight years working as a business travel consultant, joined a European rail specialist to concentrate on bookings abroad. He also picked up his guitar again taking the chance to play in Rome and Paris as part of an avant-garde electric guitar orchestra, and holidaying by train to Hamburg, Barcelona and his favourite destination, Nice, with its scenic side trips on the coastal railway to Antibes, Monaco and Cannes.
