About the Artist
Annie Haslam began her singing career in earnest
whilst at university when she got up and performed
a version of Those Were The Days at a local pub.
Annie later joined a cabaret band called The Gentle
People who had a residency in a venue called the
Showboat in London's West End. She also trained
under the opera singer Sybil Knight. It was however
in late 1970 that Annie joined the band she is
probably still identified with. Annie became the
singer with Renaissance in 1971 after answering an
advertisement placed in the music paper Melody
Maker in late 1970. Her five octave soprano voice
was to be an outstanding feature of this band until
the band split in the eighties. While she was a
member of Renaissance Annie recorded a number of
well-received albums including Prologue, Ashes Are
Burning, Novella and Song For All Seasons. The
latter album making the top forty of the British
albums chart and also spawning a top ten hit single
with Northern Lights.
Renaissance continued under the leadership of Annie
and Michael Dunford until 1987.Following the end of
Renaissance Annie and fellow Renaissance member
Michael Dunford formed the short-lived Nevada
although Renaissance did briefly reconvene in the
late nineties for an album and touring following
which Annie returned to her solo career.
Annie's solo career began in 1978 while still with
Renaissance when she released Annie In Wonderland
and although the album was critically well received
Annie regarded Renaissance as her main concern at
the time.
