THE BLOW MONKEYS plus ALTERED IMAGES
With hits like ‘Digging Yor Scene’ and ‘It Doesn’t Have to be this way’, the Blow Monkeys the glamour of mid 80’s pop at its most graceful and sophisticated.
They have worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield, Paul Weller, Cheb Khaled and even Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse! “No band since The Clash in their early 80’s heyday had attempted to act as a sounding board for such politically engaged, eclectic music”
Dr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first homegrown ‘house’ records “Wait”, his top 5 duet with Chicago soul diva Kym Mazelle.
The Blow Monkeys are now back for this very special night along with
ALTERED IMAGES
The Singer and Actress Clare Grogan started her 30 year long career as a schoolgirl Popstar in her band ALTERED IMAGES. By day she was studying for her A Levels and at night she was touring with SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES, playing festivals alongside ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN, THE HUMAN LEAGUE, U2 and recording sessions for legendry DJ, JOHN PEEL.
ALTERED IMAGES quickly had worldwide success, selling millions of records, which topped the charts in several countries. They recorded 3 Top 10 Albums – HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PINKY BLUE and BITE. They had 6 Top Ten Singles working with world famous producers – MARTIN RUSHENT, TONY VISCONTI and MIKE CHAPMAN. They were voted BEST NEW GROUP at the NME awards and the same year they were invited to play at THE ROYAL COMMAND PERFORMANCE.
After an eighteen-year gap in performing with ALTERED IMAGES, Clare is now back in this nostalgic show back to the 80’s.
