Lightning Seeds
Ian Broudie's sunny Liverpool pop vehicle, behind 'The Life of Riley', 'Pure' and the football singalong 'Three Lions'. Bright melodies with a wistful undertow.

About Lightning Seeds
Lightning Seeds started as a studio project for the Liverpool songwriter and producer Ian Broudie, who had earlier played in Big in Japan and produced records for Echo & the Bunnymen and, later, The Coral. The first single, 'Pure', and the album Cloudcuckooland were largely made by Broudie on his own, and the band took shape as a live act afterwards.
Later singles included 'Lucky You', 'Change' and 'Marvellous', along with a cover of 'You Showed Me'. 'Three Lions', written with comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner for England's Euro 96 campaign, went to number one and has returned to the charts during later tournaments.
