In 2009 after the dissolving of Andy & the Other One, Mitchell decided to embark on his new venture which would largely comprise of live players rather the sequence driven material from the previous recording projects.
Reviving his 1997 creation, with an accompanying script, based on the original excellent story boards created by Calum Jones, Andy chose to utilise the talents of his band The Big Funk Corporation in addition to usual suspects Austen Hornbrook, Neil McDougall, John Falcini and Matthew Johnson …
Thus spawned Three clearly no budget extravaganzas and Three slightly better albums plus an album of remixes …
So from 2009 to 2018 existed The Big Funk Factory, beginning with the eponymous D-roid.
