Anna recently issued the following update:
"So, I had some good news this week – I’ve been asked to join Roxy Music playing violin and keyboards for them for their string of dates over the summer. After auditioning for their musical director I got a call back to meet Bryan Ferry at his studio. In a room filled with pianos, synthesisers and keyboards, I got out my violin and played the solo from 'Out Of The Blue'. I then played through a few classics like 'Love Is The Drug', and then 'Out Of The Blue' on keyboards before an impromptu recording session for one of his new tracks.It’s always nerve wracking performing for someone who has had a glittering career from before you were even born. Roxy Music is a band I grew up listening to – I remember being shocked at my parents’ vinyl copy of Country Life with the two semi-naked ladies on the front of it! I never imagined that, 20 years later, I’d be looking at the fine specimens of album artwork blown up in all their glory in Ferry’s studios.
The very next day I was standing behind three tiers of keyboards and synthesisers at my first rehearsal. I now have a little under a month to learn about 40 songs. which will be whittled down to the ultimate festival set. My columns for the foreseeable future may be a little short!"
