Bridget St John (born 4 October 1946 , in South West London ) is a singer with a distinctively deep and somewhat melancholy voice. She learnt Piano and Viola as a child in London , and Guitar while a student at Sheffield University , from which she graduated in 1968. Her "To be without a hitch" / "Autumn lullaby" (1969) was one of the first two singles released by Dandelion Records , John Peel 's label; ''Ask Me No Questions'' -- including the earlier single, and sparingly produced by Peel -- was the label's first LP. The follow-up, the more highly regarded ''Songs for the Gentle Man'', was produced by Ron Geesin . Commercial success did not follow critical acclaim, and St John lay low for some time in New York, reemerging in the nineties and (as of 2004) continuing to perform. Aside from work under her own name, St John has also recorded with Mike Oldfield (on Amarok ), Kevin Ayers and Robin Frederick. Several of St John's earlier LPs were released as CDs in the 1990s by See For Miles Records . All her albums are now available on CD - some containing songs originally only released as singles, as well as previously unreleased 'live' material. There is another recording artist named Bridget St. John in Seattle, Washington, USA, who has since changed her stage name to "Sweet Punch" to avoid confusion with this Bridget St. John. St. John reunited with Kevin Ayers to record on his 2007 album The Unfairground in New York. They duetted on the song 'Baby Come Home'. ALBUMS BY BRIDGET ST JOHN
