Kirsty Anna MacColl (10 October, 1959 – 18 December, 2000) was a British pop singer-songwriter.
Family life and career
MacColl was the daughter of dancer Jean Newlove and noted folk singer Ewan MacColl. She grew up in Croydon.
Her initial career followed a substantially different path than that of her father; she first came to notice when Chiswick Records released an EP by local punk rock band the Drug Addix with MacColl on backing vocals under the pseudonym Mandy Doubt. Stiff Records executives were not impressed with the band, but liked her and subsequently signed her to a solo deal.
