As not only the most keen eyed amongst you will have noticed, Pantagruel have a new singer - Anna Maria Wierød.

We first heard of her on an April Sunday morning, while consuming delicious pancakes in the kitchen of a friend of ours Lee Santana, lutenist extraordinaire and teacher at the Hochschule für Künste in Bremen. Between gushes of maple syrup and some very crispy bacon we were explaining the recent departure of our previous prima donna, whose attempts to strive towards an opera career had brought Pantagruel to an almost complete standstill for the past 2 years. But as fate would have it, Lee suggested we get in touch with this amazing Danish student, who not only had an amazing voice but also the attitude and stamina that you need to do what we are up to!

So a couple of weeks later we got together with Anna Maria for an audition, which was a pretty brief affair, as it was almost immediately clear that she was THE ONE. So it was then off to the pub to start making plans and there was an awful lot to plan, rehearsals, getting a new dress made, a photo shooting, demo recordings, etc.



The big unveiling came last month on a pretty crazy weekend - 2 concerts, a photo shooting and recording a television report for NDR about the making of Anna’s dress all in less than 36 hours!!!!!

She is a lovely lady with a lovely voice.  When will the first CD with her vocals be ready?

We are expecting the next CD to be out about this time next year....we have just begun sorting out some new things, we will be playing three new instrumental bits at our gig in Mülheim next week and there are a few vocal pieces that have already been earmarked to be Pantagruelified in the next rehearsal.
