MUSIC
Anna’s meaning-making is rooted in a love of drawing people together through song. Her self-produced debut album Light was featured on BBC Radio 2’s The Folk Show and BBC Radio 3’s Night Tracks, and was warmly received by the press, with Fatea describing it as “pushing the edges of contemporary folk” and Songlines praising its “musical and lyrical delicacy.”
Anna gigs around the country with her band and solo, and can be found at Shambala, Fire in the Mountains, Cambridge Folk Festival, Buddhafields and Medicine Festival.
Her work has been supported by Arts Council England, Help Musicians and The Dreaming.
“Marrying the mundane with the mythic” Sara Mohr Pietsch Night Tracks BBC Radio 3
“Light is the key word here - light casting out rays of hope under the shadows of uncertain, dystopian times. It’s a warm-hearted set, oozing musical and lyrical delicacy, while avoiding the kind of mytho-poetic excess that can easily run amok”. Songlines
“Anna pushes the edges of contemporary folk and creates music which offers something beyond some of the safer more conventional albums which have appeared this year." Fatea
“Mesmerising” BBC Introducing
“Captivatingly visceral and descriptive.” York Calling
