the official Soundcloud page of Anna Hetherington, a songwriter & composer based in Manchester.

Her music has been played on national and international tv, radio and online with credits including UNICEF, BBC Radio 4, BBC 2, Channel 4, Channel 5 and VICE.

Her writing is distinctive and varied, and ranging in style from cutting-edge electronica, ambient, rock and jazz to contemporary classical and orchestral.

She began songwriting from a young age, and would perform her songs live on vocals and guitar/piano in local establishments in her home town of Middlewich, Cheshire. Meanwhile she would record these early songs to an old 4-track tape recorder. In her teens she learnt the saxophone and as her tastes widened began playing in rock, funk and jazz bands. She later voyaged into electronic and experimental music and began computer-based composition.

Whilst studying music production at Leeds Conservatoire from 2003 she was a lead singer & saxophonist in Red Go Green Stop, a dance-indie band who performed regularly across the UK. After this Anna continued honing her skills through futher writing, performing and collaborating within the local scene in rock/electronica bands and as a solo artist.

Having obtained a PGCE at Huddersfield University in 2008 Anna went on to teach Music & Music Technology at schools and 6th Form colleges around Yorkshire and Manchester.

With an interest in the power of music to help people psychologically, Anna gained her Masters in Music Therapy in 2016 from Queen Margaret’s University in Edinburgh.

She is now based in Manchester where she performs, composes, teaches privately and works as a music therapist.
She regularly releases music for media (tv, radio and online) and is recording an album of original songs for release in the near future.

Silence everything. Silence always wins.

Often found writing in the third person, it’s Smith’s humility that sets him apart from other more successful musicians. By his early twenties, Dave Smith (writing music under the moniker Our Fairest Mirror), had all but given up on music after an accomplished childhood playing piano and singing in choirs since the age of six, much to the dismay of his parents. He then heard Nick Drake’s ‘River Man’ on the radio and that chord change from C major to C minor sat him back at the piano. More listens encouraged him to pick up the guitar and later tracks including ‘Hazey Jane II’ made him pick up the trumpet. The ability of just a semitone to change an emotion reenvisioned the potential of music in his mind, and it is this ethos that drives his ambition to create big sounds with big emotions behind a quiet front.

Joining Scottish band Broken Records in 2006 took him all over Europe on a record deal with 4AD, supporting The National (on part of their High Violet tour), Editors, and Idlewild. In 2011, the band toured America from The Satellite Lounge in LA to The Mercury Lounge in New York, and New York then became home for Smith as he left the band to marry a girl he met at their gig. Typically coquettish.

Years on he’s still not been forgiven, but it’s hard to hold a grudge if you were to ever meet the girl. Never being allowed to sing in the band, mainly because he couldn’t, he made up for it in style by sometimes playing the piano and trumpet at the same time on stage. Despite this achievement, he’s never quite found the right joke about blowing his own trumpet until now. Until he finally plucks up the courage to release his music, he's currently renovating a 100 year old house, being a husband and Dad, and writing instrumental music for Taxi.com in the hope no one notices he's a Grade A procrastinator.
