Life

Trish Keenan was born in Winson Green, a multicultural inner-city area in west Birmingham. She attended Archbishop Grimshaw Roman Catholic school, presently known as John Henry Newman Catholic school. She worked a range of catering jobs after school until at the age of 21 she moved to Moseley, a bohemian enclave. Soon after she formed a duo called Hayward Winters and soon after met James Cargill at a 1960s psychedelic revival club. The two of them formed a relationship over their shared interest and formed a band, Pan Am Flight Bag. The band was short-lived only performing two gigs before they reformed in 1996 as Broadcast, which included guitarist Tim Felton, drummer Steve Perkins, and keyboardist Roj Stevens.
Death

During a tour in Australia just before Christmas, Trish contracted the swine flu virus H1N1. It was reported that she died in a hospital. A statement by Warp Record Label said: "This is an untimely, tragic loss and we will miss Trish dearly - a unique voice, an extraordinary talent and a beautiful human being. Rest in peace."
