Episode 189: Catherine Anne Davies aka The Anchoress
About this episode
Catherine Anne Davies, known as The Anchoress, discusses her music, motherhood, and the impact of her experiences on her art.
Catherine Anne Davies is better known by her stage name The Anchoress. She is a musician, producer and a former academic, which results in her providing a fascinating reading list with her art pop albums, of poems and other writing that inspired her. After many losses, Catherine had a successful 7th pregnancy and her daughter is now 5 years old. She told me how becoming a mum radicalised her, and also how she kept her new motherhood a secret for two and a half years. Catherine told me how work offers became less when people knew she had a child, inspiring one of her new album’s tracks to be called ‘I Had a Baby, Not a Lobotomy’! Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
