Spring is a time for new things and new starts, and this spring is no exception... not only do I have some new tracks to share, produced by the fantastic Mike and Matt at Mood Bungalow, I've also finally finished my degree, so I'm going to have plenty of time to write songs and sing songs!  Watch this space :)

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Cobden Club on Wednesday, I had a great time playing and it looked like you were all enjoying yourselves too.  I'll be putting up the details of a few more gigs asap, and it would be lovely to see you all along there as well!  It's been great playing with Ed and Jim so far and I'm hoping to team up with a couple more people as well, for lead guitar and backing vocals, so watch this space!

Hey guys,

I've just put up four new songs from recording on Wednesday!  Go have a listen and let me know what you think :)

Well, 2007 is looking promising.  I'm definitely playing with The Promise now - and we've got gigs arranged for most of the major events of the Scouting Centenary, one of which is going to be broadcast around the world on TV, and one of which is in the Dome in front of the Queen!!  So...  wow.  I'm really hoping that this isn't all going to suddenly fall through.

In slightly less certain news, I've had some interest from someone who was behind quite a few well known people (I can't remember exactly who my Dad said, now... think Mark Knopfler was one of them though!  I'll try and be more specific when I remember...).  He said he liked my songs - enough to call up and leave a message saying so, and give us his home phone number - so here's hoping!  I'm not getting too excited about that though.  I learnt a while back that it's really not worth getting too hopeful about these things.

Other than that, things are going well for me on a smaller scale.  I'm writing the score for the German play at uni, which should be a lot of fun - the songs are amusing to write, and it's def improving my German!  I'm also going to be in the music theatre revue, which should be a laugh.  Haven't done any MT on stage since GSA, so I've missed it a bit.  (Well, quite a lot... being on stage is one of my favourite things in the whole world)

I'll probably be recording my most recent stuff in the next month or so, so I can finally change the tracks listed on here.  Also, I'm going to be making an actual, proper demo soon, so I've got something properly produced to show people.  So watch this space!

The first post of a new blog is always exciting!  I suppose I should introduce myself.  My name's Anna, I'm 19 years old, bla di bla di bla.  Really, all I want to say is listen to my songs.  See if you like them!  Tell me if you do.  Or if you don't.  I'm easy like that :)

 

Things have been getting pretty exciting recently.  I'm a member of new band 'The Promise' - we're set to release some stuff next year, if all goes to plan.  Other than that, I write all my own stuff and am in the process of producing some of it - so much of what you'll hear from me right now is just me on the piano and singing.  No Escape is probably my most developed song at the moment!  As you can see I've got some way to go.  I'm meeting Kristina Bach tomorrow, though (a singer from Germany) and heading to the studio... hooray!
