**TO BE RESCHEDULED IN 2024** ANNE McCUE | Saturday 29 July 2023 | Annie says... I don't think I will make it over this year. Everything I am doing is in slow motion whilst the world speeds on! I just can't catch up. The first single hasn't even appeared yet (!) and I'm still finishing recording the new song (written with Amelia a while back, we rewrote the lyrics.) I just don't get a lot of time to work on my music these days. (Sunday afternoons, mostly.) Not complaining! Just explaining. I don't see much point in going to the UK or Australia until the new album is out. Early-ish next year will be better. Sorry for dragging my feet but it is difficult to get all the ducks quacking at the same time! Cheers and much gratitude. Anne :-)

Here is the awesome line up. All girl super group for one evening only. Elles Bailey | Jackie Bristow and Tamara Stewart from our end of year showdown 2018. One of our favourite pictures from the LRB archive. The coming together of three amazingly talented artistes from US, NZ and UK was truly an alignment of good fortune and fate that will be hard to recreate. Can't believe this was October 2018. Where do the years go.

Everyone keep well, stay safe, have grace (thank you Elles so well put) and please look out for those less fortunate. Best wishes from us all at Little Rabbit Barn
