Been listening to The Travelling Wilburys today, they were 5 male musicians who formed a group, non needed fame or fortune. There wasn’t the normal in-house fighting as none had anything to prove. They were the cream of the crop.
The original group was 5 members, it got me thinking as to a female Willburys, Who would sit at the top table?
My group would start with….
If a backing group was allowed then
I could add many more, what would your female Wilburys be? No particular genre, any style of music that would become the ultimate female band of music goddesses.
I think my fantasy female Travelling Wilbury's group would consist of (in no particular order):
1. Kate Bush
2. Annie Lennox
3. Toyah Wilcox
4. Suzi Quattro
5. Heather Small (M People)
Backing singers (if allowed):
1. Sharleen Spiteri (Texas)
2. Cerys Matthews (Catatonia)
Annie Lennox was really good in Eurythmics and in her own right as a solo artist.
For a while I was obsessed with her song Walking On Broken Glass and listening to it on a daily basis.
