Before their new single 'Juliet', before 'Chapman Square', and even before 'When She Was Mine'... Lawson frontman Andy Brown was just a singer-songwriter with a dream! See where it all started for the incredible UK talent!
Lawson release their brand new single 'Juliet' this weekend (13th October) so, to celebrate, join Capital as we turn back to clock to look back at singer Andy Brown's early days trying to make it as a successful singer-songwriter.
The 'Brokenhearted' star and his bandmates Joel Peat, Ryan Fletcher and Adam Pitts in Lawson have had a meteoric rise to chart prominence over the past year, following the release of their debut album 'Chapman Square' back in 2012.
Following a string of successful hit singles like 'Taking Over Me' and 'Standing In The Dark', Lawson are also set to release a repackaged edition of their album with a total of six new songs on the extended version, which has been retitled 'Chapman Square Chapter II'.
