Tracy Hitchings

Tracy Hitchings (11 October 1962 – 10 December 2022) was an English musician and the former lead vocalist for the progressive rock band Landmarq.

Her musical credits spanned from 1989 to 2022 with many notable sessions with various bands and artists, predominantly in the British neo-prog scene.

[1] In 1990, Hitchings collaborated with Pendragon keyboardist Clive Nolan and Threshold guitarist Karl Groom to form Strangers on a Train, which recorded the album The Key Part I:The Prophecy.

Also in 1993, Hitchings reunited with Groom and Nolan for a second Strangers on a Train album, The Key Part II: The Labyrinth.

For this sequel, Nolan got vocalist Alan Reed to sing along with Hitchings for a number of duets and solo pieces.

Between 1992 and 1995, Hitchings made appearances on the albums Ring of Roses, Through the Looking Glass and Mad as a Hatter by a second Nolan/Groom project, Shadowland.

[citation needed] In 1996, following long-term frontman Damian Wilson's departure from the band, Landmarq was in search of a new lead vocalist.

[clarification needed][8] During her time with Landmarq, Hitchings maintained her musical relationship with Clive Nolan, contributing to three of his rock operas over the course of fourteen years.

Hitchings met her husband Peter Yaxley on a Spiritual Mediterranean cruise in 2012, before eventually marrying in Australia and continuing her solo music recording from local studios.
