She often called "the first modern lesbian" and behind her back, the disapproving local residents would refer to Anne as ‘Gentleman Jack’, which Belinda O’Hooley and Heidi Tidow said was the catalyst behind their much-loved song.
Belinda and Heidi said they loved working with fellow Yorkshire woman, Sally, describing her as ‘down-to-earth, passionate and wildly creative’, sharing their love of both interesting, formidable, and complex women together with a deep appreciation of the rugged Northern landscape they all grew up in.
The folk duo will be performing at Hope Baptist Church in Hebden Bridge on Friday, March 22. For more information visit www.wegottickets.com
