Lindsay Gael Christina Elaine Armaou (born 18 December 1980) is an Irish actress and singer. She is best known as a member of girl group B*Witched and for her role as Georgina in the crime thriller film The Smoke (2014).
Armaou was born on 18 December 1980 in Athens, Greece to a Greek father and an Irish mother. She plays piano and guitar, having learned both before she was thirteen years old. She also wrote music of her own prior to being in B*Witched.
In 1998, Edele Lynch formed the group 'Butterfly Farm' with her twin sister Keavy Lynch and their friend Sinéad O'Carroll. The trio began writing and recording together, but soon realised that there was "someone missing". Upon Keavy's suggestion, they asked Armaou to come for an audition and she played a tape recording of a song she had written. The other girls liked it and Armaou became the fourth member of the band, who later changed their name to B*Witched. B*Witched enjoyed huge success worldwide, becoming the first girl group in history to have their first four singles all go to number one after their singles "C'est la Vie", "Rollercoaster", "To You I Belong" and "Blame It on the Weatherman" all topped the UK Singles Chart. Their self-titled debut album also topped the UK Albums Chart and peaked at number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100. B*Witched split up in 2002 after being dropped by their record label Sony Music and having sold over 3 million albums worldwide. In 2003 Armaou set up an official website and began working on solo material, but she never released.
From 2008 to 2011, Armaou trained as an actress at The Poor School, an acting school in London's King's Cross. She has played the parts of Portia in Merchant of Venice, Isabelle in Ring Round the Moon, Felicity Rumpers in Habeas Corpus, Anya in The Cherry Orchard and the Ghost of Christmas Present in A Christmas Carol. In April 2012, Lindsay was cast in her first feature film role as Sister Georgina in the British indie crime thriller, Two Days in the Smoke alongside Matt Di Angelo, Stephen Marcus and Alan Ford.
