Yes Rory and Shane never disclosed their real names and no internet then, but people who knew them knew their names, but Shane and Rory preferred to be know as their stage names. 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.
