Career
Lynch first came to wide public knowledge in the 1960s as half of the duo The Chicks with her sister, Judy Hindman, on the NZBC television series C'MON. In 1969 she became a solo performer and was a resident performer on the follow-up show Happen Inn. In 1970 she was voted N.Z. Entertainer of the Year and won a Loxene Golden Disc in 1972.
After marrying fellow entertainer Bruce Lynch she moved to London, England, where she worked as a session musician until she became a regular part of Cat Stevens' vocal group and appeared on several of his albums until he gave up recording after a religious conversion. The first song Lynch did for Stevens was "Oh Very Young" in which she sang the solo and background vocals.
Lynch appeared on the 2008 and 2009 series of Stars in Their Eyes as vocal coach and backup singer.
She is a member of the Lady Killers alongside Tina Cross and Jackie Clarke.
