Annie Haslam - Music (2044 words)
Annie’s unique style of singing captured the members of the band and she was immediately offered the job as lead singer.
Instrumental in helping Annie form this new band, was Raphael Rudd, who had performed on keyboards and harp in the latter days of ‘Renaissance.’; Sadly he passed away in a car accident in 2002, but is fondly remembered as a major force in the early stages of Annie’s solo career and is greatly missed.
Annie and her band had been performing special Christmas concerts for 5 years at a very lovely church, The Upper Tinicum Lutheran church in Tinicum, Upper Black Eddy, PA and to record a CD of Christmas songs seemed the natural progression.
