Suzanne was discovered along with her sister Judy by New Zealand guitarist Peter Posa they became regular performers on the television show ‘C’Mon’ and in 1970 as a soloist Suzanne was also a regular on the television show ‘Happen In’.
Having established a name in New Zealand as the blonde member of the popular 60's duo "The Chicks" and then as a solo performer; Suzanne Lynch was offered the opportunity to fly to London and perform with Val Doonican on his television show whilst touring with him in New Zealand in 1972.
Suzanne travelled to England with her new husband Bruce Lynch in Jan 1973 performed on Val's show which much to her horror at the time went out live to millions of people!... quite a lot for a young girl from NZ !!..but it went very well thankfully Suzanne sang a solo song and a duet with him and the show was so popular it got repeated quite a few times in fact.... Bruce and Suzanne planned to spend the following six months in England to have a break and have a look around... little did they know they would get so busy they would live and work there for the next 8 years.
Suzanne joined a vocal backing group called "Bones" with Joy Yates ( a fellow Kiwi in London) and an American girl Jackie Sullivan and they fast became the first call backing group in London for Telelvision shows live shows and recording sessions as they were described as having a more "American sound" than the English groups which Suzanne thinks came about because of the combination of Jackie being American and Joy and herself having had to sing all styles during their careers in New Zealand.
They performed at the Royal Festival Hall for Neil Sedaka's big concert to re-launch his career in the 70's with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra which was recorded live and released on a live album by him.
Suzanne spent months traveling up to Birmingham to film a regular television show called "Get It Together" a television "Pop" show and "Bones" used to back all the big English guest artists. Their M.D. was Mike Moran who became a good friend as they spent many train trips together talking over their bacon and eggs.
Suzanne also sang vocal backing on a "Lulu" TV special ... "Little and Large" TV show The Goodies.. (several times ) and when she was 8 months pregnant in 1978 with her son Andrew she sang on Leo Sayer's TV series.
