Claire Sweeney Biography

"I used to do the pubs and clubs in Liverpool…one night I was in this place singing the 'Nuns' Chorus' when this fella stood up, went 'aaargh', and then collapsed on the floor. I thought that he was drunk and just carried on singing, while the audience passed him over their heads, and propped him up at the back. He just sat there while I finished the song. And he was dead. He'd had a heart attack. Unbelievable. But it helps you deal with people, that."

"I love singing, it's what I've always done, and it's what I totally get lost in."

"I love food and I love drinking and I love all the things that you shouldn’t do."
