ARMATHWAITE: Music & Moving Pictures Tour: Private gig

March 4, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 10:30 pm

annA rydeR’s Music & Moving Picture Tour (March 2022)

A music and moving imagery show – annA rydeR sings her songs with the exciting extra dimension of moving pictures : entertaining and atmospheric films made over the last two years in collaboration with artist Nicky Cure.

A mix of stop-motion, annA’s hand-drawn cartoons, Nicky’s art and real-life images and films – this will reflect annA’s diverse styles in her variety of songs. Some relate directly to the songs and others are atmospheric or curious or just there.

It might turn out to be a private party gig but it’s on here in case anyone is interested in coming.

Also – as annA could be in the area the preceding day, perhaps someone would like their own house concert on the 3rd March? Contact annA to enquire. Or ask on annA’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/annA.dowdeN/

A house concert works by people coming to someone’s house and the artist gets paid in donations from the audience. It is usually very nice and friendly and fun. Also intimate.
