Anna Corcoran, Easier Than Falling. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There is so much strength in the world, so much hidden from plain view that sometimes the extraordinary is obscured by the feelings of jaded despair and noisy waste that flourishes in the absence of mouth watering musical beauty. For Anna Corcoran, that magical beauty, of the glorious and divine that comes across in her music is not just full of great strength but the imagery it provides is like the clear waters in a large and mighty lake, the whole sense of creation and its purpose there for all to see and in Ms. Corcoran’s measured way of producing intelligently subtle music, creation, beauty is far Easier Than Falling.

It is quite something to see a master story teller, a Queen of Crime, on stage being interviewed by arguably a man whose passion for Liverpool, his appetite for culture and ability to hold an audience’s attention singles him out as one of the finest in the city.

Liverpool’s Little Atoms Announce All Female Music Line Up For Their In Conversation With Lynda La Plante.

Little Atom Productions are delighted to announce the first all-female music line-up in their hugely successful Liverpool ‘In Conversation’ series, whose next interview subject is legendary Liverpool crime writer Lynda La Plante at the stunning Concert Room at St George’s Hall on Tuesday 10th September.

The events feature five separate musical acts, each of which performs one of the famous interviewee’s five favourite pieces of music. The series so far has seen acts as varied as a classical guitar rendition of Are Friends Electric? by Tubeway Army and a 25-strong Baroque choir from Waterloo singing music by Henry Purcell but this will be the first time all five songs are performed entirely by women.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

No matter what you throw at Anna Corcoran; be it the sound of a blender going berserk in the background of an prominent gig during Liverpool’s Sound City, the raucous and ecstatic birthday celebrations that greeted her as she went on stage to celebrate the second anniversary of Ian Prowse’s Monday Night Club on Mathew Street or even the road system that connects the city that she calls home and the Northumbrian community in which she lives in, she gives her absolute and unfiltered attention to her work.

Anna Corcoran, Gig Review. Brink, Liverpool Sound City 2013.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Down the quieter road of Parr Street, Brink had opened its doors as a more sedate setting in which to have live music on during Sound City. The relaxed attitude, the status as a charity run venue all combining to make an evening’s entertainment, especially that utilising the keyboard and the person’s vocal talent, well worth catching. Even with the backdrop of various machines going off every so often, blenders for the smoothies for example, couldn’t detract from those who had waited patiently to see Anna Corcoran perform a selection of songs from her various E.P.s, including the superb The Show which has been getting rave reviews from all quarters of the music world.

Anna Corcoran, Anything Better. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is a moment, a second of time about a minute into the first track of Anna Corcoran’s E.P., Anything Better, where you realise you are not just listening to a woman so adept at her piano but that she also writes incredibly evocative lyrics. She sings them with such a big smile upon her face that she is instantly transformed from another talented woman from Merseyside to somebody who is musically attainable but also unbelievably excellent at providing a narrative that crushes any resistance you might be able to put in her way.
