River Man
The new album featuring Gary Brooker (Procol Harum), Patch Hannan (The Sundays) and Senegal virtuoso Jali Fily Cissokho
Anna Neale’s new album ‘River Man’ takes the listener on an epic musical odyssey through Roman history and heralds a change of musical direction for the sensual, playful and feisty singer songwriter. Voted one of R2 (RocknReel) Magazine’s albums of 2012, River Man features guest performances from Gary Brooker (Procol Harum), Patch Hannan (The Sundays, The Audience), and world-renowned Senegal virtuoso Jali Fily Cissokho. Influenced by the life, times, loves and legacy of Pompeii, Anna Neale’s ‘River Man’ will enthrall the listener with songs that chronicle universal themes of love and knowledge, as well as the eternal question of the human spirit and human identity.
Part of the 'River Man' tour in 2013 saw Anna and her band performing at The British Museum as part of their 'Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum' exhibition, and at the University of Cambridge with Classics Professor, Mary Beard.
