Another Hopeless Case

 The Fems of Feb.

Anne Clark was born in South London at the start of the 1960s.

She left school at sixteen having never been able to really fit in with the constraints of the education system. However, this in no way restricted her voracious appetite for music, books, or her inquisitiveness & practical need to be involved with the world around her.

In the mid 70s she happened to get a job at Bonaparte Records, a local London independent record store & label. Good timing for Anne as the punk rock scene was just about to explode into life in London. Punk led the way to a whole new approach for dealing with music, arts, & society itself.

Anne realized she was a poet & she pioneered in the use of spoken words, combining literary, socially engaged texts with innovative genre-breaking music.
