Iris had a part in a James Bond movie. Rory was very proud of that when it was in the Liverpool Echo about her.
R.I.P. Shane.

Rory had a terrible stutter, but once he was up on the stage, even speaking with the microphone he never stuttered, but when he used to stand and speak to me, he always stuttered. I knew him when I worked in a night club in Liverpool and he was the D.J. long after he had given up the group.
