Send us Fan Mail

That “wait… I know that song!” moment — but it’s all clavinet. 🔥

In this episode, Andy plays 10 instantly recognisable clavinet riffs as short solo snippets — no backing tracks, no full songs, just the hook. From pop and disco to rock and deep funk cuts, this is the clavinet doing what it does best: snappy, percussive, and ridiculously funky.

Play along: try to name each riff before the title is revealed, then tell Andy your score — and which one surprised you most.
