Artist Portrait

Wendy Oldfield

bvoc,
Pop and Rock

Wendy was studying at Barkley House Teachers Training College (Cape Town) to "give herself something to do whilst waiting for a career in music to happen" when she was asked to audition for a rock band in 1983. She was asked whether she shaved her legs, dyed her hair black, and since the guys in the band were "pretty fixated" on her boobs, she got the gig. The Sweatband moved to Jo'burg and had a good measure of success before Wendy Oldfield decided to pursue a solo career in November 1988, also with a degree of success. Since then she's moved towards a more world music oriented direction, living in Knysna with husband and children.
