Denim Fever swept the UK when B*witched exploded onto the scene with C’est La Vie back in 1998. Dressed head to toe in the funky blue fabric, the hyperactive foursome managed to make Irish Dancing cool again, or actually, just cool.
The Glory Days
The Irish girl group whipped British teenage girls into poptastic frenzy and as a result basked in the success of two albums and eight singles, all of which made the UK Top 20.
The original line-up of twin sisters Edele and Keavy Lynch, Sinéad O'Carroll and Lindsay Armaou managed to seduce the ears of kids all over Europe and North America as well as making denim the 'must-have' look of the season.
B*Witched's first four singles all topped the UK charts, making them the first Irish group to achieve that feat, but despite their initian success, the group split up in 2002 after being dropped by their record company.
The band were lucky in that Boyzone member Shane Lynch, who is Edele and Keavy's brother, helped the group find a manager, and consequently resulted in their signing to Epic Records.
B*Witched released their debut single C'est La Vie on May 25 1998 and despite mixed reviews it reached number one on the UK charts, as did their subsequent singles Rollercoaster, To You I Belong, and Blame It On The Weatherman.
Their debut album, B*Witched, was released on October 12 which made it to number 3 in the UK charts, as well as eventually being certified double platinum in the UK and platinum in the US.
