He studied the violin as a young man and was considered a musical prodigy. A Colonel in the British army Count Bentinck had taken the boy under his care whereupon Ashe regularly attended the practices of the Count's regimental band. As a result he became familiar with various wind instruments and took a special interest in the flute. Having been introduced to the recently developed six key flute Ashe abandoned the violin and devoted himself to the flute. He made a much admired public debut in London on February 24 1792 performing a flute concerto of his own composition. In 1799 Ashe married a pupil of Vinanzio Rauzzini the soprano Mary Comer 1774-1843. Between 1801 and 1816 the soon to be famous Ashe sisters were born. Honoria born in 1802 was a pianist and another sister possibly Mary born in 1801 played the pedal harp. During this period Ashe was principal flautist at The King's Theatre London principal flautist of the London Philharmonic Society Professor of flute at the Royal Academy of music and musical director of the Bath concerts. Often longing for his roots Andrew Ashe with his family performed in Ireland several times before settling there in 1823. During the 1820's & 1830's they were one of the most prominent musical families in Dublin.</p> pre-1821.
