who's the club for?

Your Club Leader: Anna Anise

Anna is a nationally touring folk singer-songwriter whose passion is for songcraft, lyricism, and collaborative music making. Her debut bilingual album, Aneth, explores the Cornish Language through the expressive and nuanced lens of a uniquely thoughtful songwriter.

Alongside her own music, Anna has spent years exploring how the spaces we create around songwriting can shape the way people collaborate, take creative risks and develop confidence in their work.

She has been Musical Director for various mutli-artist collaborations including Lannaled with Cornish creatives Seamus Mckenna, Holly Anne Coles (Lore & Lament), Carys Lewin (Humm) and Tadhg Cullen, and Of These Folk with nationally recognised folk artists Maddie Morris, Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne and Satnam Galsian.
