Anne has been writing songs ever since she can remember.  An active member of the Cardiff and Newport folk club circuit for many years, until she went to the University of Warwick specialising in medieval French and Occitan literature, attaining an MA in medieval studies.

While living in Lyon, France, for two years teaching English this was where she wrote Icarus . After moving back to England Ann wrote for Karl Dallas's Acoustic Music magazine. Nic Jones came across Anne and her songs at this time, and from then on her reputation spread through the folk circuit. In 1984 there was a historic meeting of Anne, Martin Simpson (who had already started singing Icarus) and Mary McLaughlin, which led to the formation of the duo Anonyma.

Anne now works mostly solo, occasionally teaming up with Steafan Hannigan for recording (he has worked on many of Anne's albums) and occasional touring in the US.

Her current career includes storytelling, workshops on voice, creativity and storytelling, and songwriting, as well as concerts. This repertoire has taken her to an enormous variety of venues and audiences across France, Italy, Greece and Spain as well as the US.
Anne's work always attracts attention - songs which take myths and legends and weave them into a new relevance. with a surprising emotional punch through the ancient tales. Entertaining and informative, with a careful blend of traditional and contemporary references. Celtic, Saxon, Norman and European plaited into one variegated braid - not a bad heritage!
