GAYE ANTHONY
|
G&T, better known as Gaye & Trish or alternatively Gaye Anthony and Trish Norman met at
Toddlers Group at Cluny School, Sauchen, Aberdeenshire. (Their children were the toddlers,
of course!) They discovered through chatting that they both sang.
WHO ARE WE? Gaye Anthony 
One thing led to another
and soon they were making music together. They sang in Castles for the National Trust for
Scotland for several years, developing their repertoire and harmonies. They continue to
help and organise and take part in Concerts during the Doric Festival, which celebrates the
speech and song of the Grampian area. In 1999 they sang at a local Boat Festival in Portsoy,
Aberdeenshire, where they were singing songs of the sea and the fishing and made the
acquaintance of Nanne Kalma and Ankie Van der Meer of 'Liereliet', who were also taking
part in the Festival that year. This led to Nanne and Ankie recommending them to other
Festivals, leading to bookings in Poland, Brittany and especially to Workum. It was there
that Shanty Jack heard them, leading to appearances in Hull, Portsmouth and so on...........
They have released two albums. 'First
Verse', mainly Scottish songs, was released in 1999 and
'Fish and Ships', self-explanatory, in 2001.
Trish Norman who hails 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 then moved to Aberdeenshire in the late 70s with her husband and family, where she eventually teemed up with Gaye.
