    Clare wrote this song along with her husband to be in the group. It is a very special song and it means a lot to her. I watched her perform this live at Croxteth County Park in Liverpool summer 2019 and the whole group were just as good as they were back in the 80’s. A sheer delight 😀👍👌

    Christ the rabbit hole of RUclips! I saw Altered Images supporting U2 at Aylesbury Friars in 1981! I was so in love with Clare Grogan as was the entire straight male members of the audience that night. She was/is beautiful. Interestingly U2 were amazing in those days. Until they turned into this pompous bloated rock machine thing. I remember leaving the club drenched in sweat. 17 years old and felt my heart would burst. I saw the Teradrops, The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen in a short space all at the Friars club. Thank you Clare Grogan!
