I spent today at The Historic Dockyard in Chatham with Flickerhead Films, shooting the music video for new single Evolution! What an amazing location!
Six hours straight filming, we have some stunning footage! Thank you so much to everyone, especially Nigel, at The Historic Dockyard and the staff and students at the Centre for Music and Audio Technology at the University of Kent for allowing us access and looking after us! And of course a very special thank you to our extras and those who helped out! Couldn’t have done it without you!
I can’t wait for you to see the results!

I'm very pleased to announce that Jez and I are on the final stages of mixing the album! We've just completed day 2 at Skyline Studios over in Ashford (Middlesex), and are back in again tomorrow working on new song 'Afraid Of The Dark', as well as tweaking the existing songs. It's so close now!
The final mixing day will be 23rd January, with the mastering booked in with Dave at Hilton Grove for 26th January. I can't believe we're finally nearly there! It's sounding absolutely wonderful, especially the beautiful voices of the ENO Chorus (I might have had a little cry...).
Thank you all so much for your support through what has been a very challenging 2017. With the new album, the video for Evolution planned at The Historic Dockyard in Chatham on the 11th, and the headline show at the Cranleigh Arts Theatre on the 12th (as well as the single release!), January is shaping up very nicely. Long may it continue!
Happy New Year everyone!

Another year, another APPG Performers Alliance Parliamentary Reception! I love this event, simply for it’s laid back melting pot of great minds. I’ve met so many wonderful people, including the ENO, this year was no exception. It’s also cheering to see the three main artistic unions, the Musicians Union (who I’m very proud to be a member of), Equity and The Writers Guild of Great Britain in full force in what is a particularly difficult and challenging time for the Arts in the UK. There were even one or two MP’s who weren’t bad...
Thank you everyone for a great night!

Thnak you to everyone who came to my solo German debut at unterRock in Berlin Saturday night! Such a great bar with a lovely atmosphere, topped off by the lovely Harald! Probabaly one of the most organised and pleasant venues I’ve ever played at! There’s a Facebook live video on the page @annanealemusic. Berlin, what a city! Danke sehr!

Big thank you to Helen at Images Hair Salon in Woking for this! We had a little fun experimenting with their new Max Eli colour range and came up with this! All ready or Berlin and Tunes In The Chapel! Question is, how many shades of red can you spot? ;)
Hi everyone,
As some of you are aware I've been a little quiet gig and recording wise. I finally have some sort of answer for you in terms of why. This morning I was diagnosed with a very rare form of breast cancer called 'microinvasive lobular carcinoma', or 'MILC' for short. My family and I have been living under a cloud of not knowing for just over a month now, which as I'm sure you can imagine, has been very frustrating and worrying. At this time we're not sure what the treatment path will be. I had surgery just under two weeks ago to remove the lump and should find out over the coming month what the plan of action will be. In the meantime everything will carry on as normal. On Friday I fly to Berlin to perform at unterRock on the 18th. 24th November will be 'Tunes In The Chapel' with Rami as planned, which the lovely Tom from Tomodo will be filming for You Tube, and I have a video planned for the next single 'Evolution' which will be filmed early December. The album will also go ahead as planned for the 23rd February, unless something drastic happens (let's home not.).
I'm sorry the news isn't more positive, but it's not as bad as it could be. Onwards and upwards as they say...

Hi everyone,
I’ve just received the art work for the forthcoming single ‘Evolution’ and thought I’d share with you lovely folks first! We’re looking at December/January release for this track, with the album pencilled in for 23rd February, depending on what my treatment plan will be (hopefully all this surgery and anxiety is for nothing but we still don’t know!).
Thanks for bearing with me, I’ll update you all with confirmed dates once I get some more information, hopefully on Monday!
In the meantime enjoy the wonderful Mark Smith’s illustration! Very Pink Floyd!

Hi everyone,
I’m in the middle of going through some diagnostic treatment (culminating in surgery, again, on 31st October) which means I’m going to be out of action for a few weeks here and there. This means that I’m going to have to push back the release date of the album to the 23rd February 2018.
I’m really sorry for the delay, hopefully it will all be nothing and life will be able to carry on as normal!
I’ll still be performing in Berlin on the 18th November, 'Tunes In The Chapel' on the 24th November and The Long Street Blues Club on the 25th November, but may well have to pause any dates in December depending on the outcome.
In the meantime I'll be releasing ‘Evolution’ as a single on the 24th November to tide you all over!
