Biography
Since a very early age, Annie has been on the stage! Always landing the leading roles in the school productions, and then following on with a part in a stage show at the Young Vic theatre in London, Annie aspired to be in the spot light from a young age. She was even part of a production company that took the stage show 'Joseph' to Holland, and enjoyed numerous performances out there.
After stepping away from showbiz for a while, Annie took a couple of years off to concentrate on a ‘normal’ career, however, not enjoying that at all, back in 1997 Annie went to work as an all around Entertainer for First Choice holidays starting off in Zante, (where she also moonlit in a Band 3 nights a week) then working in Crete and Fuerteventura, before finally coming back to the UK, to start off her music career here. Whilst working as the Entertainer, Annie got invaluable experience at standing on the stage, and hosting specific events, learning to communicate and interact with the audience, as well as extensive Cabaret experience, which she feels stood her in good stead with the work she currently does.
Once back home, Annie set about getting on the local pub, club and cabaret circuit, and developing her act and repertoire (which now incorporates well over 2000 songs from all different genre and decades) and she also specialises in different shows, including the Wartime Experience (where she dresses in various military costumes and sings songs from the 1930s and 40s), County Roads Show (including Queens of Country), 50s Rock and Roll Show, 60s Show, Cockney Sing-a-long Evening and Back to School Show.
Annie has also been fortunate to work abroad with her music, landing gigs in New Zealand, Australia, and working for 18 months out in Spain, doing cabaret 5 nights per week. Also a talented song writer, Annie co-wrote, produced and performed an album in 2006 alongside another talented musician, which has had interest from Nashville in the USA. All this adds to a very dynamic and all round versatile entertainer.
