LIGHTNING SEEDS
Lightning Seeds are a hugely respected English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1989 by Ian Broudie (lead vocals, guitarist and producer). Originally a studio-based solo project for Broudie, the Lightning Seeds expanded into a touring band, experiencing huge success throughout the 1990s. They are particularly known for their single Three Lions, the fondly revered collaboration with David Baddiel and Frank Skinner which reached Number One in the UK in 1996 and 1998. The single once again reached the top spot in the UK in 2018 as football fever took hold of the nation. Other top hits include Lucky You, What If…, You Showed Me and Sugar-Coated Iceberg.

BECKY HILL
