Jude Abbott (born 4 February 1962) is an English musician, perhaps best known for her work with anarcho-punk and later folk band Chumbawamba.

Early life[]

Born in Essex, Abbott moved from London to Leeds in 1993 and joined a local band, Chumbawamba, in Slaithwaite for the Moonraking Festival. She was approached by street band The Peace Artistes.[why?]

Career[]

In 1996, Abbott joined Leeds-based anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba, which signed with EMI in 1997.[citation needed][1]

In 1997, the band released "Tubthumping," which reached number 2 on the UK Singles Charts and featured Abbott playing the trumpet and providing vocals. The album Tubthumper was a mainstream success, with "Amnesia" reaching number 10 on the British charts.[2]

Starting in 2004, Chumbawamba released a series of folk albums[3] before disbanding in 2012.[4]
