Moving on… The Mechanical Hearts mk2
The big change in lineup occurred in 1987 when firstly keyboard player Gary Bond left the band for career reasons and was replaced with Chris Brown who we’d met in Arcade Music, Cannock. Before Chris had time to settle in, singer Clare Lakin moved on to pursue new musical interests. Enter Pete Hughes who we had known well as a friend, fellow musician and a frequenter of the pubs of Wolverhampton. The Mechanical Hearts 2 were soon ready to gig with a male voice fronting the band and a change of songwriting style.
