Biography
I am a Singer Songwriter & use my life experience & views of world events in my lyrics." Sweet Colleen " I wrote as a tribute to my parents. " The Fox " I wrote as I realised how this gentle little animal had become such a controvercial member of our community.It made me drive slower & took residence in my heart. "Thoughts Wi Rabbie ", is me imagining a conversation wi the great Bard ..giving him an update, so to speak.Performances I mainly do in theatres but I'm starting to venture into new horrizons eg Pup scene,Restaurants & find this a very different,but exciting form of performing.I love Traditional & contemporary Celtic music but I recently performed songs from Les Miz at The Fort Theatre & absolutely loved it.I perform most of the time with Trochrague Folk Group but enjoy solo acts as well.I am dedicated to Folk music & run a folk club in East Kilbride & promote local talent when I can.I guess I could say I live & breath music in general but with a passion for Celtic song..especially Burns.I grew up in the traditional music scene from an early age & participated in competition festivals in my youth..& this year(2008)I performed at CELTIC CONNECTIONS in the GLASGOW CONCERT HALL A great experience.I hope you enjoy my music & feedback would be most welcome...Thankyou for taking the time to read my EPK, Anne Gomez
