In Focus: Anne Briggs

London, 11.08.20

Since withdrawing from public life and refusal to record any new music since the 1970s, a mythology has grown around the figure of Anne Briggs. Renowned for her crystalline, delicate singing voice, she adapted playfully to traditional songs about relationships, sex, difficult working lives and political strife.
