“Hugh, William, and Adam Andrew, three brothers, were very musical and I saw invitations from castles etc. asking them to come and play their violins. They were made free burghers of Kilmarnock.”

-- John Ernest Andrew in a 1937 letter describing his visit to Ayrshire

“In more recent times the Messrs Hall of Ayr have long maintained a high reputation as violin players — so have the Andrews in Lave-mill, near Dundonald ; while there is scarcely a village throughout the county that has not its instrumental or vocal club."
