Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Andrew Poppy (born 29 May 1954, Kent) is an English composer, pianist, and record producer.

From 1974 to 1979 he studied music at Royal Holloway College and Goldsmiths College University of London, studying piano with Susan Bradshaw and earning a B.M. degree in piano performance. One of the least internationally known of British minimalist composers, Poppy was a founding member (in 1981) of The Lost Jockey, a large ensemble dedicated to the performance of new works by British composers composed in the style of such composers as Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Louis Andriessen. His first solo album The Beating of Wings was released on ZTT records in 1985, and the follow-up Alphabed (A Mystery Dance) in 1987.
