Lucinda Sieger

Glasgow born, international singer/songwriter Lucinda Sieger's career began in furniture design. While at Art College in London she founded her eleven piece band Continental Cartoon the Latin pop crossover outfit, whose members included Neil Barnes (Leftfield) and Steve Jones (A Man Called Adam) and Jill Bryson (Strawberry Switchblade). Lucinda produced her first single 3192600 (originally released 1987) on Pure Trash Records, after meeitng Plato Page (The Rain Gods) now known as Count Dubulah (Temple of Sound), which picked up plays from everyone between Tony Blackburn and Giles Peterson. On the back of this single Lucinda was invited to feature in an award winning documentary A Portrait of Great Britain produced by Turner Broadcast Productions which was syndicated across the US. It was at Ronnie Scott's while performing with Winston Blissett and Neil Barnes that Lucinda was heard by dance act Congress (1991) and her subsequent vocal version of their track "40 Miles" went straight to Number One in the dance charts and culminated in an appearance on the first ever live Top of the Pops , for which Lucinda will also be remembered for being the dance diva, sporting a giant treble clef on her head. Mind you as a former Alternative Miss World runner-up she was renowned for some of her costumes.
