Sometimes available space or budget restraints mean that a smaller

entertainment for wedding guests with one of our smaller groups,
which are suitable for background music and events such as:

Launches * jazz concerts * picnics * restaurants * nightclubs * etc.
The cost will be significantly reduced with smaller groups. If you

additional saxophone, bass, drums, female and male vocals.

“Ballde de Adeline” by Paul de Senneville (made popular in the 1970s by Richard Clayderman)
Here is Anne’s interpretation of the much loved work “Le Onde”, by Ludovico Einaudi..
‘Letter to my Grandchildren’
During the April llockdown of the 2020 pandemic Anne wrote, recorded and released this track which
has been played on the BBC. It was an entirely solo project in which she sings and plays all of the
instruments herself.
'Letter to my Grandchildren' was inspired by the thought of perhaps being asked, at some point in the
future: “What was it like to live
through the great pandemic of 2020?” How would I answer?
This piece of music is Anne’s attempt to do so. Because it was created during the lockdown, the
thoughts and feelings expressed in it give a snapshot of this time.
You can listen to it on spotify and most other major streaming services . It is available to purchase
from itunes, Amazon mucic, CD baby and all other major download providers.
