Lucy has been playing bass guitar alongside the double bass in a variety of gigs around London. She has been playing with Glenn Tilbrook and the Fluffers since 2004, recording Transatlantic Ping Pong and touring the UK and the US extensively in a 32 foot Winnebago. They are currently writing for the next album to be recorded next year.
“The man’s called Glenn Tilbrook. His band is called The Fluffers and they ROCK. Tight as f**k and lovin’ it. Unburdened by the über-cool inflicted on and dished out by so many fly-by-night ‘stars’ Tilbrook and his band’s passion and enthusiasm is contagious. In fact it’s outrageous.”
