Bette Bright

Bette Bright (born Whitstable, Kent, England) is an English rock singer. In the late 1970s, Bright was a singer for the art rock band [a=Deaf School]. After Deaf School disbanded, Bright went solo with her backing band, The Illuminations. Bright (using her real name, Anne Martin) spent a while as singer of Dutch band Gruppo Sportivo, and she also appeared in Malcolm McLaren's Sex Pistols film, "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle." In 1982 she married [a=Madness] singer [a=Suggs] and retired to private life. She did appear in a video to accompany Madness' "One Better Day" single, playing the part of a homeless person in 1984. In 1988, she joined her fellow Deaf School members for a reunion and a live album.
