"Her backing band on the album, (who also play live sets on occasion) is a regular who’s who of
Christchurch talent, including Nick Gaffaney, Richie Pickard, Darren Pickering, Harry Harrison and Ian
Costello. Recorded by Dave Cooper at the Christchurch Jazz School, ‘In The Pink’ is a blend of pop and
folk, with a soothing edge. Anneka weaves stories with guitar and vocals, reminiscent of Joni Mitchell
and other folk songstresses, chronicling her life up until now."

"Avonhead singer-songwriter Anneka Thwaites’ debut album In The Pink is the kind of CD you can put
on and imagine a still day at the beach surrounded by a natural palette of hazy pales, with no one else
in the picture."
"It’s a collection of melodic and intimate songs with a strong acoustic/folk bent. The standout feature is Anneka’s pure and sweet voice, which glides as smooth as velvet up and down the stave without a hitch on the accented rhythms. It sounds effortless, but any singer worth their zinc tablets knows it’s not."
"For a debut album this is a brilliant achievement."
