Influences
In songwriting I really admire Fiona Apple, cause every song of hers is a piece of art. She uses so many different sounds and elements... I’m also in love with Michelle Branch’s ‘Hotel Paper’ and Christina’s ‘Stripped’ album. But then again I want to do my very own thang! :)

Sounds Like
I want to do music that reflects my soul and it’s really important for me to be who I really am. I can be very flexible and try new things, but I could never compromise what is in my heart. I usually try to express my feelings, certain moods and experiences... it often starts off with diffuse streams of consciousness taken from my diary - my guitar ‘Travis Fimmel’ as well as my keyboard ‘Doug Pickett’ help me to express my feelings and make it easier for me to bring the message across. I have only just started doing sort of my own music. I know exactly what kind of music I’d love to write and I have loads of ideas. Now I only still have to put all my ideas, all those colours and shades, into real songs and there are still a lot of things I can’t wait to learn. :) I would love to give it an oriental touch, I love the craddles of guitars and I have a passion for latin flavoured music. Then again I want to combine it with lots of other sounds, like Jazz-, Soul- and maybe even Blues-elements. I'm working on it =)

Bio

Ok here goes, I grew up in Dublin, Ireland, in a very musical household (my father being a violin teacher!) moved to maynooth to become the much loved stereotypical arts student (studying music . . . and beer!) for two years.

It was there that I first performed at the NUIM singer songwriter night hosted by Paddy Curley (thank you bren!). It was at this s/s that I met many talented musicians such as Kevin and Ebby Brett, Catherine Ferris and Anthony Kelly. Moved down to Galway for a year to write music and busk for a living! performing regularly at the Monroes and Warwick singer songwriter nights hosted by Kevin Brett.

During this time I also performed at Scribblers wine bar/cafe both as a solo act and in a jazz duo with Ebby Brett. I then moved to Sydney where I played regularly in venues such as The Vic on the Park, Kellys on King and The Marquee and i also recorded my album full of lots of luverly sad and depressing musics while eating pie.

now . . . i'm back in galway helping to run People In The Moon Records Ltd. with the afore-mentioned Brett brothers and gigging around Galway in places such as De Burgos, Richardsons, the Rowing Club, the Cellar, the Roisín Dubh, and BK's Wine Bar. I also have gigs coming up in Dublin so watch out for them!

Every so often, I'm lucky enough to support Cuckoo Savante. They're a fantastic band, do check them out if you see them playing around Galway.

Bio Singer-songwriter. Ana Mae hates this phrase. “I write songs, I sing them, but I’m definitely not a singer-songwriter!? she explains. Are the first signs of insanity beginning to show? Definitely not. “I grew up listening to my dad’s Blondie and Pretenders albums? adds Ana, “Chrissie Hynde and Debbie Harry are great songwriters, they sing great songs, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them being referred to as singer-songwriters.? We know what she means.

Not afraid to pin her pop sensibilities to the wall, Ana Mae writes powerful pop songs with an emotional edge. Obvious comparisons can be drawn from her above-mentioned childhood influences but modern comparsions are often made with The Cardigans. “I’ve always loved catchy songs. Songs performed with real instruments and real bands mean so much more. I’ve never wanted to perform on my own, playing live with other musicians is what it’s all about.?

This brings us on to the The 442s. Her brother John Gillespie (electric guitar), Chris Darragh (bass) and Darrell Nelson (drums) are the chosen 3. “We’re all from the same small border town (Castlederg, N.Ireland), we all went to the same primary school, there wasn’t really anything we didn’t know about each other.? Says Ana. "They're all really good musicians, and they add energy to the songs. The world has enough twee females making depressing music."

"Songs such as Marry Me and Stay are ready-made radio hits" - AU Magazine .

"They are a great looking band with Ana Mae looking for all the world like a young Chrissie Hynde" - BBC Northern Ireland.

"Lazy beats, countrified hooks, and memorable melodies beautifully sung by the equally beautiful Ana Mae" - AU Magazine .

"this band could produce something worthwhile." - BBC Northern Ireland.
