A reviewer once described this album as "highly attractive tunes and elegant arrangements. Many of the songs are on an Arthurian theme, like Pre-Raphaelite paintings set to music."
Bio / Background
Anne has been writing songs ever since she can remember, and performing in UK folk clubs ever since she was first able to persuade a barman to serve her with orange juice.
She was born a Londoner, but the family moved several times before settling in Cardiff, South Wales when Anne was ten years old. She was given her first guitar when she was thirteen, and taught herself to ploy - much more portable than the piano! She was an active member of the Cardiff and Newport folk club circuit for many years, until she went to the University of Warwick to study French. At Warwick she specialised in medieval French and Occitan literature - mostly the stories of King Arthur and the poetry of the troubadours, and stayed on to complete an MA in medieval studies.
She lived in Lyon, France for two years teaching English at the Universite Lyon II, and this was where she wrote Icarus and gradually realised that her songs were beginning to travel without her back in England.
