Bursting out of the vibrant early-80s new wave scene, Altered Images became one of the decade’s most defining and colourful bands. Fronted by the effervescent Clare Grogan, their irresistible blend of post-punk edge and pop sparkle delivered a string of hits — none more iconic than their chart-topping classic “Happy Birthday”, still a staple of British pop culture.

Grogan was already a star in her own right thanks to her breakout role in the beloved film Gregory’s Girl, and her unmistakable charm later lit up TV screens in Red Dwarf, EastEnders, Skins, and as a presenter on VH1.

Today, Altered Images continue to win new fans and delight old ones with their infectious hooks, shimmering melodies, and Grogan’s timeless charisma — proving that their influence on the UK’s new wave legacy remains as bright as ever.
