Anne Lundon

Who? BBC Alba reporter for Gaelic news and Eòrpa, anchor for Gaelic news programme An Là

Get Playing is an ideal opportunity for me to re-discover my musical talent.

Instrument? Piano and guitar

Why Get Playing? "I get horrendous stage fright since having a bad experience when a youngster with losing my voice on stage (due to a horrible throat infection). Playing in the Virtual Orchestra means I don’t actually have to play in front of a big crowd for real! Get Playing is an ideal opportunity for me to re-discover my musical talent."

About Anne

Anne works for BBC Alba as a reporter for Gaelic news and is one of the main anchor’s for Gaelic news programme An Là. She is also one of the main reporters on the BBC's award winning Gaelic current affairs programme, Eòrpa, and has reported on many political, social and cultural issues across Europe. Anne also presents weather forecasts on Reporting Scotland.

Not many people know that Anne is very musical. She can play many instruments (including the bagpipes when she was younger) but these days sticks mostly with piano and guitar.

Due to working shifts, Anne doesn't get the chance to play much and is very much looking forward to getting involved with Get Playing.
