The girls from Girlschool. Can't remember their names but they were linked to Motorhead. Think they used support them on tours etc. Song that sticks out in my mind is Race With The Devil. Mel, you'll remember that, wont'cha ? |

Some of these are one hit wonders I think:
Edie Brikell...( What I am ). Nena ( who can forget her....could have done with a wax ). Jennifer Rush. Bonnie Tyler. Laura Brannigan ( RIP )...Great voice. Patti Smith ( was she 70īs aswell ).. Because the night belongs to lovers......... Alison Moyet ( great voice but was always confused about her). ME

Hi Blondie, Me too. I used to sing into my hairbrush looking at the mirror. My dad caught me one day doing it and bought me microphone.

Rock chicks in the 80's. Zilch that spring to mind. Going back there was Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane), Carly Simon, Carole King, Melanie (who'll ever forget "Look What They've Done To My Song" and "Ruby Tuesday"), Linda Ronstadt to name a few.
------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

Hey mins, you must be a mind reader. There is 10 years difference in our period at the Grove (old Grove only) but I was going to post these very three artistes. Great taste. Mama Cass is correct as in "everyone's getting fast 'xecpt Mama Cass" ------------- Life is for living |
