Subject: Anne Lister/Mary McLaughlin tour dates
A rare set of opportunities to see the (apparently) legendary duo of Anne Lister and Mary Mc Laughlin, also known as Anonyma, on tour in the UK. The dates so far lined up are:
August 21st - Bude folk club, at the Falcon, Bude, Cornwall
August 22nd - The Plough Inn, High Street, Witney, Oxon
August 25th - The Acoustic Lounge, Cwmaman Institute, Aberdare
August 26th - House Concert, Pontypool
August 27th - Shammick Acoustic, Pack o'Cards, Combe Martin, Devon
September 1st - York folk club, the Black Swan, York
September 2nd - House Concert, near Colchester, Essex
September 3rd - House Concert, Kew
September 4th - Walthamstow Folk, the Olde Rose and Crown, E17

For those of you new to the whole idea of Anonyma, Mary and I toured fairly extensively for five years in the 80s. Mary now lives in California, so we have few chances to work together but thoroughly enjoy ourselves when we do. We did a short tour in 2009 which went really well and had planned to do a whole summer of touring in the UK this year - and then we both got day jobs and had to look at it all differently.   As Anonyma we'll give you a collection of great songs, some traditional (some in Irish, even) and some our own as well as stunning harmonies and a lot of fun.
Check out Mary's website
and my website to find out more, or PM me with your email to receive more details of any of the gigs, especially the house concerts.
