Francesca Longrigg
Francesca comes from a literary family from Hampshire, and trained in drama at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London from 1979 to 1982. Over the years she has made many appearances in Film and TV. Films include How To Get Ahead In Advertising, Empire Of The Sun, Strapless, Tooth, The Honey Trap and, most recently, Mrs Dormandy in The Boat That Rocked. TV appearance include Waiting For God, Men Behaving Badly, The Detectives, Clarissa, and The Roman Mysteries.
At the age of 23 she discovered a gift for writing and singing her own songs, and started to embark on a lifelong journey of working with musicians and forming bands. Since this time music has always been her first love, but she has sustained a dual career to this day.
The first band was called Sienna, and was a huge band which basically included all her friends! (Last count was 11 in the band including percussion, a large horn section, and two guitars.) They worked on the gig circuit around London for two years, performing a rich and diverse selection of original tunes.
