Welcome to another special Life With Strings Attached 'Biography' episode. Today, we trace the incredible life of legendary luthier Andy Manson, a craftsman shaped as much by chaos and curiosity as by chisels and wood.
From building forts as a child in Hertfordshire to busking through Europe with a self-made guitar, Andy’s journey to becoming one of the most respected voices in luthiery is anything but ordinary.
In this deep dive, Andy shares the pivotal moments that defined him, his rebellious school years, early instrument builds, the influence of his tool-making ancestors, and the spark that led to his famed collaborations, including with John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin.
It’s a tale of craft, character, and creative resilience. A reminder that artistry is born not from luxury, but from living.
