He has collaborated with Brian Eno on several projects, most recently guesting on keyboards for the 2005 album Another Day On Earth. Andrews also played on the 1980 Iggy Pop LP, Soldier with David Bowie, Ivan Kral, Glen Matlock and Klaus Kruger.

His most notable solo track was "Win a Night Out with a Well-Known Paranoiac", which received airplay on London's Thameside Radio, and subsequently the Anne Nightingale request show on BBC Radio 1 during the mid 1980s.
