Oh, hard to believe.
Very sad news. I did not meet Ann, but always enjoyed reading her reviews on BSH.
R.I.P. Ann
So sad; she was a very special lady. I remember her coming to a college I was working in when we had a Folk Conference; her and Martin Carthy. We had a bar underground that I always compared to a tavern in Middle Earth, and I banged my head every time, but she had no such problem. They always had good singalongs and I recall her being humble with her meagre talents on some folk type whistle but once she got going she was away. Loved her music and I'm shocked and saddened that I'll never bump into her at a concert somewhere - when you least expect it - ever again.
So many of us folkies are saddened to have heard this. Ann was indeed a great supporter of folk music over the years and her conversion to jazz was never quite complete (!). She continued to perform folk songs and played tunes on her tin whistle. We even allowed her to perform some jazz numbers on the Tyne Valley Folk Train on occasion. Everything she did had a lightness of touch and was delivered with a twinkle in her eye. And, yes, she was.a Globe regular as well as a founder member. I too walked with her after many a Globe gig back to the Central Station - probably her guiding me tho. We will be honouring her at the next Folk Train on Sunday 15th September. It’s a public event (search Facebook for details). All genres welcome! She was indeed a lovely woman. ❤️❤️❤️
So very sad to hear this. Ann was such a lovely woman and very supportive 🖤
Like everyone, I am absolutely devastated to hear the sad news of Ann's passing. I am finding it hard to believe. I first met Ann at Blue Jazz Voices which was then held at the Sage. She was also a regular and willing volunteer at the Globe when I was organising the list.
Ann joined Indigo Jazz Voices at the onset in 2015 and sang with us for several years. She willingly did the advert for our gigs - the last one was June this year - and she had a wonderful creative and humorous style of writing something unique every time.
She will be very sadly missed.
So very sorry to read this Lance, Anne was a lovely lady and will be sorely missed. Sending love
Ann was such a lovely, kind, supportive person. A wonderful singer, writer, poet, ukulele player, song writer and so many other creative talents. With ever undertaken she did it with full enthusiasm and always smiling. She was the first to welcome me to the Blue Jazz Voices, she always made time for the newbies and always made time for people she met. Like so many feeling the same , it is so sad that we won't have a chance for another catch up, but your smiling face and kind words will never be forgotten. Liza
She also loved writing for Bebop Spoken Here and considered it a great honour to be given a platform to discuss her likes and dislikes. She was grateful to you for that Lance and you should feel proud and comforted by it.
Oh no, I'm so very sorry to hear this. Ann was so supportive of our artists and I loved reading her reviews. She seemed like such a lovely, loving person. I am so sorry for your loss. Such a shock.
I do Steve, I do. Thank you.
Ann was a member of Indigo Jazz Voices among very many other things including running the folk night at The Globe when it started. We used to walk to the metro late at night. We had some interesting conversations on our walk and walk by walk she revealed snippets of her interesting life and all the things she has been involved with. I haven’t seen her for ages and now I won’t get another opportunity. I thank her for her kindness, her enthusiasm, her light and her company on our late night ventures through the dark towards as we headed homewards.
Just a comment on the sad passing of Ann, I recall the death of drummer Peter McKeith - this was exactly the same a "virus" took him in a matter of days......
I met Ann when she was keen on getting into jazz at one of the courses run by Chris Yates. We also met at gigs where we would discuss BSH etc
I am very saddened to hear the news about Ann. We met quite often at jazz gigs (and sometimes folk events) and she was always very friendly and happy to chat. While we both loved jazz, as far as I know we were the two most dedicated folk fans amongst the BSH community and would try and smuggle folk references into our reviews.
As I was keen to find out about the North East folk scene she was very generous with her time and we met on a couple of occasions when she willingly shared her detailed knowledge of local folk history and the clubs and bands past and present.
A very nice woman who will be sadly missed.
