In 1988 he joined the influential and innovative band Blowzabella (which also featured Nigel Eaton, with whom Cutting has since collaborated). Cutting made one album (''"Vanilla"'') with Blowzabella before they broke up in 1990. Their repertoire, blending English traditional music with that of central France and Eastern Europe, had a great influence on Cutting.〔''Blowzabella – New Tunes for Dancing'' (by Andy Cutting, Nigel Eaton, Jo Freya, Paul James, Ian Luff, Cliff Stapleton, David Shepherd, Jon Swayne), Blowzabella, Glastonbury (2004) ISBN 0-9549013-0-4〕 Blowzabella subsequently reformed; they celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2003, with Cutting once again an official member.〔 They released the album ''Octomento'' in 2007.〔(Blowzabella website: history ) Accessed 15 January 2010〕 In 1989 Cutting formed a partnership with Chris Wood, whom he had met two years earlier at Sidmouth Folk Festival. They tour extensively over several years reuniting in August 2010 for the Towersey Village Festival and have made five albums together. Wood introduced Cutting to a wealth of Québécois music and shared his love of English and French dance music.〔 Wood & Cutting, together with Karen Tweed and Ian Carr, make up the Two Duos Quartet, who have made one album ''Half as happy as we''. Tweed & Cutting have also worked as a duo; they have made one album together and contributed to a live CD, ''"Across the Waters"'', recorded at Cork University in 1994.
