As a singer-songwriter and fiddle player, Annie’s songs are rooted in the Celtic folk tradition, but belong firmly to the present, exploring universal human themes. There is a quiet defiance in Annie’s songwriting, a nod to the things we accept, the voices we choose to listen to, and those we overlook.
Her songs question and challenge the common narrative, inviting us to look more closely and see the world through the eyes of others.

 

Around Annie, the band - featuring Lukas Drinkwater, Alan Pengelly & John Gray - creates a dynamic sound that gives these stories room to breathe; moving between intimate narrative song, and the energy and richness of a more trad Celtic tunes band.

This combination of storytelling, musicianship and human connection has resonated strongly with audiences at folk and Celtic festivals internationally, and is at the heart of the Annie Baylis Band’s show.
