LIVE AT THE LODGE
DRUMMER...PERCUSSIONIST...ROCK CLIMBER
Anna Fraser is an extraordinary woman and we all adore her to bits. The rarity of finding such depths of talents combined with such an exquisitely golden character is a constant source of pleasure and delight for everyone who meets her.
She is was a 'jobbing musician' and community drummer who had her sticks in many pies, but we threatened her pet spider plant until she stopped seeing other bands and is now solely the stunningly brilliant drummer for Ebb, and one of the SPDX operators duo that is Span 'n' Spork within Krow & The Electric Temple.
She also works real hard for the Tinderbox Orchestra, a registered charity, because she is
a true-hearted musician who believes in the power of the arts to make positive changes in children's lives.

She can turn her hand to many instruments including the fiddle, but is primarily a drummer and percussionist. As such, her rhythmic foundation is so attuned to the song, so casually brilliant and played seemingly without effort, that for some the only indication of her musical contribution is the astonished open mouths or bereft weeping of drummers in the audience who know intimately just how damn good she is.
Born on an enchanted, unicorn traipsed isle of the Shetlands, many's the eve when her family and friends would take time away from the toil of the fairy-dust harvest to ceilidh long past the sunset...
A Napier University Graduate, her musical gifts were set upon her as a wee baby Viking and honed by bloody hard work on the mainland.

She steps in and out of music with grace & ease and brings her magic to the Lodge. The woman is rhythm driven!
Her relentless positivism and easy going nature should result in her being
profoundly and unbelievably annoying, instead she is a bringer of joy,
adored by all.
