GAYE ANTHONY
|
G&T, better known as Gaye & Trish met at
Toddlers Group at Cluny School, Sauchen, Aberdeenshire. (Their children were the toddlers, of course!) They
discovered through chatting that they both sang and especially enjoyed singing in harmony.
WHO ARE WE? Gaye Anthony 
They sang in Castles for the National Trust for Scotland for several years, developing their repertoire and
harmonies. They were involved for some time with the Doric Festival, which celebrates the speech and song of
the Grampian area. At their first maritime event in Portsoy, Aberdeenshire in 1999, they were singing songs of
the sea and the fishing and made the acquaintance of Nanne Kalma and Ankie Van der Meer of
'Liereliet'.
This led to them being recommended to other Festivals,
leading to bookings in Poland, Brittany and especially to the Netherlands. It was in Workum in 2000, that
Shanty Jack heard them, leading to appearances in Hull, Portsmouth and so on...........
They have released three albums. 'First
Verse', mainly Scottish songs, was released in 1999
followed by
'Fish and Ships (Lines Upon the Water)' and
'Fish and Ships Too (I Stand on the Quay)'. The next album is still a work in progress!
Trish Norman from Edinburgh, has had an interesting musical career, singing in Folk Clubs in her late teens and then singing with Dance Bands. For many years she sang with the Ladies of the 'Courte of Dalhousie Castle,' presenting music and food at Mediaeval banquets. This led to tours around Europe, mainly the Netherlands. Having sung in various choirs and Operatic societies around Edinburgh, she moved to Aberdeenshire in the late 70s with her husband and family, where she eventually teemed up with Gaye.
