Annie Whitehead was born in Oldham, Lancashire, the heart of brass band country. She learnt trombone at school and by the age of fourteen was already busy playing with brass bands, local dance groups and the Manchester Youth Jazz Orchestra. At sixteen, she started her professional career with Ivy Benson’s legendary All Girls Orchestra, and spent the next two years playing summer sessions and touring Europe with that band. She settled for a while in Jersey where, inspired by the music of Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus and Wayne Henderson, she began to develop her own style.
