Hello – annA here... This is Paper Girl which is my new CD. It’s 14 of my songs with me doing them. Also other people helping who have all done brilliant stuff – Dave Pegg, Gerry Conway, Simon Nicol (Fairport Convention), John Rabbit Bundrick (The Who), Clive Bunker, (used to be in Jethro Tull), Maartin Allcock (used to be in Jethro Tull and Fairport Convention), PJ Wright (The Dylan Project + Little Johnny England), Mark Tucker and Oonagh Ryder. It was recorded between July and November of 2003 at various different studios. It costs £12 which I think is quite good really. You could buy it if you like… January 2004 PS I’ve got a trampoline but it’s not for sale.

This was my chance to do the 'folky' thing as a change to my staple diet of 'rocks'... and Anna asked me if I would play on one of her future projects. I said of course, and now in 2003, she has done a fantastic new solo album, given me a call, sent me the material, and I set about adding my keyboard parts in the relevant places on the tracks. As each track unfolded, I was reminded by her quality and composing skills, that I too was just a 'real' musician at heart, and not a rock star, or poser to the medium. Working on Anna's record has reminded me of why I became a musician all those many years ago. I was in search of all things musically relevant to high class, quality, perfection, and taste, and not just to bang out a few chords on the organ as loud as I could, just to get noticed. Working on Anna's new album was for me a refresher course in what it means to be a 'real' musician, with class and fidelity, and perfection... thank you Anna for the reminder."
