Duos, trios & Quartets
Sometimes available space or budget restraints mean that a smaller
group is preferred. We are frequently asked to provide afternoon
entertainment for wedding guests with one of our smaller groups,
which are suitable for background music and events such as:
cocktail parties * dinners * outdoor gatherings * drinks receptions *
Launches * jazz concerts * picnics * restaurants * nightclubs * etc.
The cost will be significantly reduced with smaller groups. If you have

instrumental or with vocals. All groups include piano, with optional
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..
Anne’s lockdown release: ‘Letter to my Grandchildren’
During the April lockdown 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.
