Andrew “Tui” Osborne has been a well-known, new character in Ellicottville, as he moved here to be closer to his job coaching rugby at St. Bonaventure, where consequently he led them to championships. Tui is also known in Ellicottville for his musical prowess and being a social delight. He has played at a handful of establishments in Ellicottville with his guitar and sultry voice, but now he’ll have to find new joints in Miami to play in, as he has been hired as a new coach of the professional Rugby team the Miami Sharks. The Villager caught up with Tui to ask him about his next chapter.
