Dear everyone,

I'm halfway through my European tour, and so far it has been quite something..

It was wonderful to come back to the Trianon, for two nights this time, it's such a beautiful place to play.. I remember quickly learning Lady Grinning Soul back stage, and going out into the foyer and performing it as part of my solo show.. Then jumping into a cab to the Carmen and doing another solo show.. I loved the intimacy of the Carmen, and of being so close to the audience.. I played a cover of Satisfied Mind, which was a song that I always wished I could sing, before I was a singer..

When I was in Paris I was also fortunate enough to meet and write a song with Marianne Faithfull, which was such an honour.. I arrived at her apartment, and I was immediately struck by how beautiful she is. We sat in her living room, which was full of fresh flowers, and I played guitar as we sang together. She's so charming and talented, and has so many interesting stories to tell.. I'm very proud of the song we wrote.

In Italy I recognised some faces in the crowd- the audiences were very passionate..and the Teatro Grande in Brescia was the most beautiful venue I've ever seen..

And tonight I met many lovely Slovenian people, this show in Ljubljana was really something..

I hope to see you somewhere on the road,

Love,

Anna xx
