SINGER-SONGWRITER Anna Corcoran will be giving a fundraising concert at Bold Street bar Leaf next week.

She will perform with her band and there will also be featured performances from saxophonist Mike Smith, who has played with Craig David and Steve Winwood, and Liverpool singer-songwriter Rob Vincent.

Funds raised will go to Mencap Liverpool.

A Goldsmiths graduate, Corcoran worked in London as a singer and teacher for four years before returning to Merseyside.

She continues to regularly work in the capital, as a choir director/ workshop leader for educational projects at The South Bank and playing piano bar gigs.

At the Leaf concert, which starts at 7.30pm on December 7, Corcoran, who grew up in Formby, will perform a variety of material, from covers of Joni Mitchell to Alicia Keys songs to original material from her debut album.
