The Lucys was a Brixton, London, UK, post-punk band, which formed in 1978 and evolved to the two-bass line-up of: Joanne Melvin (lead vocals), Pete Boyse (guitar, vocals), Anne Paley (bass, vocals - ex-The Period, aka Anna Dinn), Colin McMahon (bass, vocals), Dee Berwick (percussion, vocals) and Pete Drew (drums, vocals). Notwithstanding a demo-cassette, their début was Peel Session 3 Mar 1981.

Despite John Peel's BBC Radio 1 on-air "'… this band must be signed up!" appeals, a rebroadcast of Peel Session 3 Mar 1981 and their making a thirteen-track album, the same year, the closest they came to a 'deal' was a near-miss with Cherry Red. Soon after, they split.

Four demo-cassette tracks were combined with the 1981 album recording, and posthumously released, as Flowers to You (Apr 2013, Only Fit For The Bin).
