PINKY BLUES
On leaving school, seeing your band get signed to a major record label or getting your first huge role in a movie are usually the stuff of teenage fantasies. For Clare Grogan, both happened in the same summer as soon as she left Notre Dame High in Glasgow in 1980 – Altered Images were snapped up by Epic after some well-received John Peel sessions, and Clare’s acting at Scottish Youth Theatre led to her being cast as John Gordon Sinclair’s new infatuation Susan in Bill Forsyth’s coming-of-age classic Gregory’s Girl.
