Her first album The Sitting Room was released in 1982. This was followed by three albums, Changing Places (1983), Joined up Writing (1984), and Hopeless Cases (1987), where she was joined by David Harrow, author of the music and producer. The singles, Sleeper in Metropolis, and Our Darkness became staples of the 1980s, and remain two of the great tracks of that era. In this DEEP DIVE interview Anne talks about her early family life, and how those experiences have formed her, and her first album, The Sitting Room, and the success she had in the 80s with David Harrow's music on the next three albums that spawned Sleeper in Metropolis and Our Darkness. She also talks about some more recent aspects of her career, and although this interview is in-depth, we didn't have enough time to come fully up to date - but if you’re interested in her latest album BORDERLAND and the upcoming tour then watch out for the UPDATE INTERVIEW, also online.
