Anne Lister was brought up in Wales, studied in France and England and has been writing songs for as long as she can remember. She's also been performing professionally on the folk music circuit for longer than she wants to own up to.
Her best-known song is undoubtedly "Icarus", which has been covered by many different performers including Martin Simpson, Nic Jones and Archie Fisher.
Anne is also a respected storyteller and her songs frequently draw from her wide knowledge of mythology and folklore.
