A string of gigs followed through the year with talented guitarist Adam Busiakiewicz, including The Women In Music Festival in Birmingham, The Surface Unsigned Festival where the band once again received fantastic live reviews for three performances, The Carling Academy Bar with special guest drummer Belle (Killing Miranda/Lahannya) and The Borderline supporting Die So Fluid and Mab.

Anna-Christina and Adam also played a special acoustic show together. This time with only 2 guitars, the set was made up of some familiar songs like Moonlight and a new flamenco version of Peace Of Mind as well as a long awaited cover song from Hedwig And The Angry Inch. The set was completed with "Wicked Little Town" Hedwig's version, which Anna-Christina had been going on about doing for ages!

2009 was an amazing year for Lilygun.
The band was joined by special guest drummer Robin Guy (Rachel Stamp) for a few shows including Gotham Festival at Islington Academy where they received fantastic reviews and they began to record their debut EP.
Recorded at the famous Britannia Row Studios - it's the direct descendent of the original Pink Floyd's studio, Anna-Christina and Piranha took full control of the recording, both taking part in engineering, recording and mixing. Conversations was launched at Electrowerkz in August which earned Lilygun another great write-up in Devolution Magazine and Roomthirteen, followed by air play on Radio Nightbreed and on Radio Rheinwelle in Germany on The John Peel Show. For the last show of the year, they supported Lahannya and were spotted by Tony Pettitt (Fields of The Nephilim/NFD) and Stephen Carey (formerly of Ireland’s This Burning Effigy) who asked them to support their band, The Eden House, on their tour in 2010.



And finally this year has seen the band supporting Anna-Marie Hurst at the Scala, again earning an excellent write-up and The Eden House in Colchester and Bristol. Their first EP, 'Peace Of Mind' was launched at the Bull+Gate (for Phil Avey's last show promoting) May 30th and suddenly all songs available for download by Lilygun have been selling like hot potatos. Lilygun are in demand and it seems like the years of hard work are finally beginning to pay off.

Anna-Christina has an unbelievable story to tell.
A story that continues...
