HELLOO, My name is Anna-Louisa and I write songs on guitar and tunes on the piano, I also play the violin or fiddle if you prefer. I write about the lake district which is where i was brought up (i was born in sheffield however) and also relationships (how GENERIC i know but it impacts everyone really).....I don't believe in writing about something unless it has an emotional impact on me or inspires me greatly.....so unless i'm DRUNK, it's unlikely i'd be inclined to write a song about table mats or cushion covers (not that i don't think these things are important of course). One day i would like to write about politics and something a little deeper, however until i know a LOT about such things i will stick to matters of the heart and countryside.
When i PLAY i feel HAPPIER than ever and when people like my music it makes me feel INVINCIBLE......it's a passion (whoo you can feel it in the air la la hahaha).....but SERIOUSLY it is, I don't know what i would do without making my music.
- i am looking for a MANAGER/PRODUCER and a
DRUMMER AND BASSIST

...I only have 10 spaces left on the return coach from Newcastle Central Station (£10 waged and £5 unwaged/student - return) to the massive FREE Love Music Hate Racism Carnival in Victoria Park – London this Sunday!
Message me by 3pm tomorrow (Saturday) to see if you’re lucky enough to snap one up and join the party with me :)
Likewise - Really enjoyed you. Going to make it to one of your upcoming shows soon... Somehow missed the D&P (did you make it?) my other 1/2 should have been there tho.
Hi, was lovely meeting you too! Yep, the Dog & Parrot for 8ish, cool, see you both then! p.s. Loving the songs on here... sound even better now I can hear them properly ha! xx
hullo, hullo. good music, you've got a really good voice. do you know of any good places to play in Newcastle? i've run out of new places where i'm living so i'm looking for some different bars and clubs. Cheers
Hey, thanks for you comment. I really love your music but I'm not sure how well we'd go down on a bill together, sadly. People dont like diversity at gigs ;) However, I run a rew club nights around Durham and wondered if you'd like to play my 'anything goes' acoustic night on Friday 18th April at Fish Tank? Message me back if you're interested. Anne-Marie, The Colt . 45s xxx
if you wanna be part of the londonnoisedept I'd love that! its free, it's a project my mate started up with the Prestonnoisedept. we basically try and help good independent musicians to play as much as possible, and do some projects together. let me know if you're interested
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
