Notes:

  Annabel Bennett, also known as Arthur Parker, is a pianist and composer from Padstow. Daughter of legendary arranger, producer and multi instrumentalist Tom Parker from Apollo 100, she grew up around the music industry as he worked with the likes of David Bowie, John Lee Hooker and Gerry Rafferty. After her father’s death, she took to the piano to fulfill her musical ambitions and freed a creative spirit that had never come out while he was alive. Since then, she has produced more than 350 original pieces.

Her professional career as a composer faced the well known disadvantages experienced by women in the music industry. After being ignored persistently, she decided to submit her music under the working name of Arthur Parker to ensure her gender wouldn't became a factor when considering her work. Suddenly the interest in her work became apparent and she has now been featured on BBC Radio 3 Sounds playlist and Classsic FM Holland. She has also produced music for Country File for BBC, Circus Kids for Channel 5, Yorkshire Dales for Channel 4 and Gone Fishing with Paul Whitehouse.

Annabel's music and performing style is instantly recognisable whether she is playing her original works or classically inspired cover versions.
She has recently produced an album at Abbey Road studios in London. Her album Dying Earth - which she released as Arthur Parker - is available on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.
