Discography
HOME (2022)
My latest album contains 21 tracks (plus two bonuses on the MP3 version), most of them composed during and inspired by 18 months of lockdown and the accompanying challenges. Featured songs will include Come Home To The Father, Love’s Ever Presence, Abide With Me, The Rainbow, In The Secret Place, Be Still and Know, Under His Wing and The Lord Bless You.
This Is The Time To Pray
My first ever single release (May 2020), written after a listener to one of my weekly Saturday night lockdown concerts sent me a poem by William Aubert Luce, wondering if I’d like to write a tune for it. The words are beautiful, strong, compelling, hopeful, and very appropriate to today, even though they were first published in the 1960s. Half the proceeds from any sales are being donated to Christian Aid’s COVID-19 appeal. Read more >
LISTEN … for Thy voice (2018)
LISTEN… results from my collaboration with the lovely people at The Christian Science Publishing Society in Boston, USA, who wanted to release material from one with some other songs as an album for their Reading Rooms. Of the 16 tracks, seven songs and three instrumental tracks also appear on one, with four new recordings of songs previously performed with The Newsong Group, and two new songs. You can buy the CD straight from your local Reading Room or the Christian Science Online Shop - or you can buy them from my shop by clicking the buttons.

This, my first solo album, is also the simplest: just me, my piano and my good friend Robert Rickenberg on double bass. It features seven songs and three instrumental tracks that went on to also be included on LISTEN… (above). The six songs that weren’t included on Listen can be downloaded individually or as a ‘Digital EP’ [2015]
Lean, Let, Love
This soulful, peaceful EP includes three Christmas songs and three brand new tracks, all composed by Andrew. Featuring beautiful, soaring melodies and settings of poems by Jill Gooding CSB, Violet Hay CSB, as well as two much-loved Christmas carols. [2015]

Soulscapes
The Newsong Group’s fourth album is peaceful, heartfelt and soulful, featuring tender new compositions of well-loved hymns, new lyrics and poems, all written by Andrew. Beautiful messages of healing and comfort are carried on wings of song with soaring flute, rich cello and beautiful piano and guitar accompaniments. [2013]
Upbeats: Songs with Spirit!
This spirited album by The Newsong Group is toe-tapping, healing and inspirational, with a mix of fourteen brand new compositions ranging from jazz to jive, and Latin to ballad. Heartfelt vocals are joined by piano, trumpet, saxophone, flute, accordion, the Newsong Choir and a swinging rhythm section to create a truly unique sound. It’s an album packed full of uplifting songs by Andrew that are sure to bring a little extra sunshine to your day! [2011]
Gracenotes: Songs of Peace and Love
This soul-filled album by The Newsong Group responds to the desire for peace and healing in our world, counteracting the stresses of modern day living, with tender messages of love, set to beautiful original melodies. Andrew’s gentle solos and duets, including “Satisfied” and “Come Gracious Spirit” (now in the Christian Science Hymnal Supplement) are sung by Andrew and Airlie, with piano, guitar, double bass and Tamsin’s lyrical flute obbligati. [2008]
Songburst: Hymns with a Beat!
A youthful, upbeat recording of some totally new hymns and some new settings to familiar words, all written by Andrew D. Brewis and Fenella Bennetts and performed by The Newsong Group. The recording features a choir of singers spanning three generations, and instruments including piano, drums, bass, guitar, sax, oboe and even marimba. We hope people of all ages will enjoy singing along with us, anytime, anywhere, and especially in Sunday Schools. [2007]
