Interview: B*witched
2 min read
The 90’s was an absolute hotspot when it came to pop music. One of the last eras where music carried a solid identity, it was a time where pop artists really thrived. It was the time when the charts and magazines like Top of the Pops and Smash Hits were dominated by global successes like the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, 5ive, Britney Spears, Steps and Ireland’s bounciest quartet, B*witched.

With 90’s nostalgia sweeping through the UK and beyond, many acts from back in the day have been seen reuniting and reliving their peak years with hugely successful shows and teasing new music and the latest return of B*witched has been met with open arms from a fanbase that can’t seem to get enough of the Irish foursome.
