Some Suzy Pepper related facts about Claire Grogan:
1. I have her name as a middle name.
2. I once wrote to Jim'll Fix It to meet her and perform on stage with her. I wrote in my best handwriting, got my Dad to proof-read it and to make suggestions in the ilk of persuasive text, as it's fashionably called now, but two weeks after depositing in a shiny red letter box, another little girl from the Bristol area was selected instead of me. Watching TV that night, I think that was my first, heart-sink, kick-in-the-teeth moment. But of course, that's life, so thanks to Ms Grogan for giving me the first taste of disappointment.
3. Gregory's Girl, one of my fave films. She's even been in Father Ted as the Sinead O'Connor rip-off, and not a bad Dublin accent too, could even rival mine at a push.
4. And what's this I hear about a story of a marriage between her and David Hepworth? Somebody please clear this story up for me.
Claire Grogan (born, 17 March 1962)

Ah Claire....yum....
But do you remember the moment on Swap Shop or Saturday Superstore back in about 81 or 82 where while miming to their latest hit she knocked herself out? She was dancing in that style she had back then and bashed her head on the bass guitar. My mum laughed, cruel woman, because she got really annoyed by Claire's twee-ness....
I interviewed her once. I was a teenager all over again.
I was playing their lp just the other day I love their cover of song sung blue.
CG can do no wrong in my book the title of which is "Claire Grogan has never done anything wrong"...
I really love that footage of Insects. She was punk for me but then I wasn't born until 74 to be fair. Who can match the likes of Grogan and Toyah now for girls? Tsk.
Simon, I haven't seen that footage. Is it kicking around.
BLTP - I only have a cassette and nothing to play it on sadly. Must remedy that.
