BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire - Entertainment - Suffrajets blown away by Casino (597 words)
Life’s been a bit up and down for The Suffrajets, one minute their single‘s getting major airplay, they’re on tour with absolutely everyone, they’ve gained a fantastic live reputation and even had their own television series.
Front woman Alex Gillings is now flanked by Claire Wakeman and Vicky Kingston (the tallest women in rock!) whilst Gemma Clarke as ever remains a blur of hair, arms and drumsticks as she lovingly lays down her beats at the rear.
The Suffrajets are not a bad band, they never have been and to be fair they’re aiming at something different to the likes of Casino.
