Hi everyone,
It's been just over a week since I went in for surgery, and considering what I've had done I feel pretty amazing already (minus a few aches and pains here and there but that could just be a sign of getting old!!)! It seems to be ground breaking surgery as I'm told I'm only the second woman in the country to have this procedure done! I'd really like to thank Peter and his team at the Royal Surrey for all their care and commitment, they did a fantastic job. If you'd like to find out out about this wonderful little Robot, called the 'Di Vinci robot' there's an article here about the difference it's making to people's lives locally:

Hi everyone,
I'm sure not all of you are aware but I've been suffering from alot of shall we say female stomach trouble the last 6 months or so for which I'm due to go into surgery next week (yikes!!). It's set to be a fairly inivassive procedure but it does mean that I'll be out of action for a little bit and so this week will be my last set of shows for the next 4-6 weeks! I'll update with how it all went (I'm sure they'll be a catolougue or moans and groans about various pains.......that or I'll be so drugged up I won't notice, could be an interesting blog either way!!),

Lovely Samsung, new shows and a new single!
Posted on 9 June 2010 | 5:19 pm
Hi all,
We had a completely mad month in May which saw us playing in Oxford, at the Great Escape in Brighton, auditioning for Sky 1 and playing as guests of Samsung in the MK centre as well as various festivals and shows! We also managed to finish off a brand new single for you, details of which are below!
Samsung Monte:
Last month we were honoured to play as guests of Samsung mobile in Milton Keynes as part of their Battle of the Bands roadshow. As I dragged a couple of the band down with me (after a very long promo for Sky!!) we thought we'd have a go in the actual competition as it would fund our next album! There's live footage and an interview with Russ and I up on their site now, and of course you can vote for us there:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/mobilelive/monte/judge-for-yourself.html#miltonkeynesanchor
There will be more Samsung related shows coming up over the next few months so I'll keep you all up to date! Including some shows in Europe!
Upcoming shows:
There are only two shows this month, one as part of Discovery Talent in London at the Troy Bar in Shoreditch, London on the 17th June, and the other at Peter Parkers Hall of Rock 'n' Roll on Denmark Street, Tottenham Court Road, London on the 22nd June. We'll be returning to GI on July 12th as well as a few last minute festival dates here and there.
Anywhere:
We've now finished and received the final master for the brand new single / bonus track for 'Touch' called 'Anywhere'. It's a fantastic song which we're all very proud of! For those of you who have already bought the CD you can send an e-mail to info@annaneale.net
with the barcode number on the back to receive a very high quality mp3 version. Date of the official online release will be announced soon, you can have a listen on the My Space and Facebook site.
That's all for now, I'm off to find some chocolate...........
