Music


Ann has two production CD's at present, 'Ancient Gold' and 'Liquid Gold' and has just finished a tribute CD to the great Union leader Jack Jones. She is in the MILKING PARLOUR as we speak, producing a CD album of personal poetry and recording more of her own personal songs for another project which will be more reflective of her work as a Trade Unionist and exploring the ongoing difficulties that we all face in our daily lives. Her commisions also include music to accompany other peoples individual stories and poetry. Saludos Camarados - An audio tribute to Jack Jones, ex General Secretary of the TGWU.
