It's no secret that I'm a fan of (Anni) Ann Margaret Hogan. From her glorious time with Marc Almond, in Marc and The Mamba's. Through to Kickabye, Anni's first solo album which I bought from Selectadisc Nottingham, on its release all those years ago. Too many glorious projects in-between brought me to Honeysuckle Burials, an exquisite work which truly highlighted Anni's ability to produce incredible music, full of emotion, music that stirs, and which I considered and awarded Phacemag's Album of the year 2020.

Please Watch These Short Films - You can watch Here - Far from being dry, remote echoes of a long-gone age, each poem chosen for the collection feels like it could have been written yesterday. And why shouldn’t they? People are people. Our dreams are nothing new. Our ancestors had the same hopes and fears that we do. And if we can understand this, perhaps it helps to put some of the problems of our modern world into perspective.
