B*Witched are an Irish girl group consisting of twin sisters Edele and Keavy Lynch, Lindsay Armaou and Sinéad O'Carroll.
Originally active between 1997 and 2002, they enjoyed success in both Europe and North America between 1998 and 2002, releasing two albums and eight singles, all of which made the UK Top 20.
On 18 October 2012, it was announced that B*Witched would reunite for the ITV2 reality-documentary series The Big Reunion in 2013, along with other pop groups of their time.
In May 2013, B*Witched unveiled a new song called "Love and Money" which served as the group's lead single from their 2014 EP, Champagne or Guinness.
[4] The band members deliberately cultivated a tomboy image and, in order to appeal to a younger audience, understated their ages in their early years.
[13] B*Witched released their debut single "C'est la Vie" on 25 May 1998, prior to their first show at Lawmuir Primary School in Bellshill as part of Jobee's 20-year anniversary.
B*Witched's second album, Awake and Breathe, released a year after their debut, peaked at number 5 on the charts and was certified Platinum.
After touring Europe and America, where they co-headlined the All That Music and More Festival with LFO and Blaque, the group went on a short hiatus.
On 4 July 2001, B*Witched made a guest appearance on the United States daytime television medical drama, General Hospital.
[citation needed] In October, before the group could film a music video for "Where Will You Go?”,[18] the girls received a phone call from their manager telling them their record label Sony had dropped them.
[9] In June 2002, after one year without signing a new record deal, O'Carroll left the band, unhappy with the forced hiatus.
[9] On 18 October 2012, it was announced that B*Witched would reunite for the ITV2 series The Big Reunion along with five other pop groups of their time—Honeyz, 911, Liberty X, Five and Atomic Kitten (Blue later joined as well).
The show featured each group telling their stories of their times in their respective bands, before rehearsing together ahead of one major comeback performance at the Hammersmith Apollo.
