Justice For Kirsty
Kirsty was a 41 year old singer and songwriter. She was born in Croydon, South London, the daughter of folk singer Ewan MacColl and choreographer Jean Newlove. Kirsty married top producer Steve Lillywhite in August 1984 and had two children: Jamie was born on the 20 Feb 1985 and Louis was born on the 3rd Sept 1987. She split up with Steve in 1994 but they remained friends.
