In 1996, Sinéad O'Carroll met Keavy Lynch, the younger sister of Boyzone's Shane Lynch, in a garage, where they decided to form a band.They were soon joined by Lindsay Armaou and Keavy's sister Edele Lynch as they toyed with names like Butterfly Farm, D'sire and Sister before settling on B*Witched and signing to Glowworm Records.The band were a huge success story, with super catchy songs like C'est La Vie, Blame It on the Weatherman, We Four Girls and To You I Belong.
Now, Sinead, Keavy, Lindsay and Edele are back with their first single in 10 years, Birthday, on the 25th anniversary of their first smash hit self-titled album.
Edele said: “We have always wanted to reform but we all have young children now so finding the right time was hard. We’ve done loads of festivals in the meantime so we’ve always stayed together.
Now we have finally got it together and are really excited about our new single.” Sinead continued to explain that she believes the band have a “strong bond” because they were self-formed and “all lived together in the same house in Surrey.” “It was a crazy time but that helped strengthen our bond,” she added, recalling their time in the house that was being renovated at the time.
