20/07/10 Good news/bad news…annabhan.com is no longer the official website of Anna MacDonald…. But this is because Anna is moving on and up in the Scottish music scene and needed a website that somebody could manage and update on a regular basis with a high capacity for music streaming. We wish Anna well and look forward to hearing her forth-coming EP, “You held out your hand” (details to follow). You can find Anna’s new website at annamacdonaldmusic.com In the mean time, we live in hope that when she’s super-famous, Anna will still drop by for tea nad scones and a blether, somethings, hopefully, never change!

We are full steam ahead though with the next edition of The Crofter, it’s looking like it’ll be a bumper issue with lots of news, articles and pictures.
