 Fifty years in music for Europe’s finest female drummer.
Crissy Lee is widely acclaimed as being the UK’s and Europe’s finest female drummer, with a career spanning 50 years. Crissy was only 17 when she joined the Ivy Benson All Girls Band, appearing with performers including Dinah Washington, Frank Sinatra Jnr, Fats Domino, Caterina Valenti and Tom Jones. Five years later she left to form her own band, The Beat Chicks, working with singers including Lulu and Eartha Kitt, and securing the support slot on the Beatles' first Spanish tour in the early 60s, even flying with them in their own private jet! She joins Jane to talk about her career and the challenges facing female drummers.
On Friday 17th October, High Barn will be hosting Crissy Lee’s 50 Years in Music.
