A taster of a new song I've written with Isla Cowan for our new show, whatever that may be! About someone at the end of the earth, looking back on the simple things that we take for granted. 'A Boring Afternoon'.

I made a song about the arms trade and the two very different sides of the transaction, it's called Merchandise For Murder, from my album A State Of A Nation, available at the usual places.

I made a cartoon about a Scottish ice-cream seller who discovers he can harness the power of the force! #starwars #comedy #scottish #animation youtu.be/Av3cQnHxpfI?...

Recorded the songs from my show Meme Girls. This is the opening of The Tempest, sung by Julia Murray and Yana Harris. Will make an EP available soon. Song was written, produced and played by myself.

We had a final, sold out show of Meme Girls yesterday. Twas a great experience, working with amazing actors and a fantastic team. Critical and audience reception was amazing, hopefully I can get another life for the show in the future.

★★★★ Review: Meme Girls – Fast, funny play about teen friendship and dreams of success 👇

Enjoyed yesterday's performance of @andymcgregor.bsky.social's Meme Girls @playpiepint.bsky.social very much. Story of two 'outsider' schoolgirls who form a bond through a love of music and the challenges they face as they try to build a career. Great performances from Jana Harris and Julia Murray.

I'm working on my new show for PPP just now. It's called Meme Girls, a comedy drama with songs about two friends trying to be successful musicians in the Tik Tok world. Here's a song we recorded yesterday from the show, Move On, sung by Yanna Harris and Julia Murray: youtu.be/bTZWg8X5H4s?...

I was watching this last night and was really struck by how all the properties were owned by English people. And even the judges were English and/or v middle class. But the guy they got to show 'the other side' doing the cleaning etc was Scottish. Why do we do this to ourselves?

I made a little video for my website showcasing what I do. I'm lucky to be pretty busy this year but still have some gaps to fill later in the year if anyone is looking for a director, writer and/or composer!

Made a comedy short about thirty-somethings living in small town Scotland. Ccccheck it out: youtu.be/rqTrQxjt9vg?...

I've made a new 10 minute cartoon about living on the West Coast of Scotland...it's called 'West Coast' and I'd appreciate it if you gave it a wee watch. And if you like it then, tell yer pals and gies a like etc. etc. It's no very refined humour, def not for kids! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqTr...

I made an album last year and did sod all with it. But I reckon it's got some pretty decent tunes! Here's one based on a friend's visit to Mexico City. youtu.be/twMsDU9vw0A?... Album is called A State Of A Nation by Andy McGregor, on aw the usual places.

I'm always itching to learn new computery/creative things so have been trying to do some animation. It makes my head hurt. Here's my recent offering. A wee series about two friends who always end up dying together... youtu.be/iU5Edc5HFM4?...

Latest episode of my animation series The Last Night On Earth. Introducing a new character, brilliantly voiced by Lance Fuller. youtu.be/iU5Edc5HFM4

Hi folks, I checked with the relevant authorities and it's apparently ok to start drinking Shloer now. You have a 30 day window. Enjoy.

Ok Vicar...well I'll tell you somebody else that isn't real.

6 months ago I would have bet you £1728292 that The Unknown would be featuring in every panto in the land. I doubt anyone is actually doing it now....feels like a century ago!

My latest cartoon nonsense. Bazza and Tony are at a Christmas party that, as always, will end with their deaths. youtu.be/jsY64swm9vY?...

I was asked to write a song for A Play a Pie and a Pint's 20th anniversary. Attempted to tell the story of the Scottish theatrical institution, whilst also namechecking as many plays as I could...and hopefully be funny too.... youtu.be/m9vlQ0CkKZA

"Arty nationalists in itchy heid breakout."

My boy is playing Fortnite and I heard him just say, "Is that Princess Diana?" and, to be honest, I wouldn't put it past them.

That's the panto in Paisley up and running! World record broken for most people on smallest stage at any one time...

I'm sure I'm one of scores of unlucky people today who received a rejection for the Touring Fund. It's gutting. Over the last 4 years we made 5 high quality shows and built brilliant relationships with theatres & their audiences, but we won't be out on the road next year, which is deeply frustrating

Started watching Day of the Jackal. Radiohead followed by Alt J...they know their core audience.

Episode 2 of my silly dark comedy series The Last Night On Earth, about two Glaswegian men having a chat before their inevitable, untimely deaths. youtu.be/zFDbMJrOS9M?...

Did you know that by substituting your morning coffee with green tea, you can eliminate up to 93% of what little joy you have left?

Remembering when we did an online panto in 2020...a different world.

Post you from a different era. Singing in my band whilst inexplicably wearing a viking costume.

My six favourite European Mr Men character names... 6. Mr Muddle in Spain = Don Confuso 5. Mr Topsy-Turvy in Germany = Herr Kuddelmuddel 4. Mr Bounce in France = Monsieur Bing 3. Mr Dizzy in Portugal = Senhor Bobo 2. Mr Greedy in Sweden = Gubben Glufs Glufs 1. Mr Bump in Norway = Herr Dumpidump

Every day we will revisit one of our shows. Here's Better Than We've Been from Battery Park. It was a play with songs following the misfortunes of a Britpop band from Greenock. youtu.be/M1jFcUgJt-k?...

Had a day off today so I challenged myself to make a wee cartoon. It's called 'The Last Night On Earth'. It last 90 seconds or so and is about two friends in Glasgow at the end of times. youtu.be/_n4Uc1cEPVQ?...

This is what's keeping me busy the now. Back in the newly refurbed Arts Centre. Should be a good laugh!

Scottish playwrights starter pack here ❤️ #scottishtheatre #playwrights #playwriting

In the 3rd and final part of 'Richard the Disappointing Apple' our hero discovers that being an apple is not quite the life he dreamed of. And though love may be round the corner, life is rarely that simple.

Been thinking about theatre directing recently. Why we do things the way we do. So many of us are caught up in the "right" way of directing, that leads us down the path of pointless exercises that make us feel clever. I've never finished a show & thought "if only I had played more ball games"

A great video about Apples new Ai. youtu.be/D0V554NyXWM?... The last thing this world needs is more corporate-speak...

Ice-Cream and potted plant seller (yes, at the same time, in the same shop...) Raffle ticket stapler Viking

I really don’t understand this whole ‘stay on Twitter and fight’ thing. You’re jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads it’s not Waterloo.

That's my theatre company, Sleeping Warrior up here noo. Gies a follow!

Part 2 of Richard the Disappointing Apple. In part 1 we saw Richard, a depressed man, make his dream of turning into an apple a reality. Part 2 explores his new found life...

Ready yersels fur a journey thro Scots cultur, myths, history an identity as we daunder Through the Shortbread Tin tae explore the greatest literary rise ae aw time, James Mapherson’s Ossian Through the #ShortbreadTin is a brand-new show by Martin O’Connor, directed by Lu Kemp 👇

When my brain needs somewhere to go I doodle little cartoons, usually about depressed fruit. Here's 'Richard the Disappointing Apple' a story in 3 parts. Part One:

My first post on this here platform shall be the moment where the piano collapsed on the final chord at the end of a song I wrote/performed celebrating 20 years of a Play a Pie and a Pint. Perfect comedy timing from the stand.
