Just showing my sons the lady whose film I was in many years ago....ok I was an 'extra' .... and ended up here... this is a FANTASTIC performance and Hazel O' Connor looks wonderful!
Albion records all but ended Hazel's career, making her sign a contract a day before she was told she had got the part of "Kate." So when A&M started having hits off "Breaking glass," Albion records would not release her from the contract. All of which is detailed in her autobiography "Breaking glass barefoot," Remember this Hazel has done a load more work after "breaking glass," " Beyond the breaking glass," for me is a classic. Having met Hazel a few time's she has never let me or other fans down, taking time to talk to every one even after a very long set and numerous encores. Needless to say I am a life long fan. Favourite track is "cuts to deep."
+nnuman1 The only time I have seen Hazel was in about 2000 at Forest Arts Centre - New Milton - capacity 150. In between tracks she explained that she didn't want to have anything to do with Record Companies, agencies etc due to the way they had ripped her off in the past. Still a great show, and like you said at the end she came out to the Foyer to sign any CDs people bought.
Yep haze is the girl next door she always finds time to chat and I think if her career wasn’t Sabotaged and she got to higher levels she was still have time to talk to the bloke in the street or the girl in the street
The 80's was a blurr 😂 but some top artists gave us great music and we learnt to live in the shadow of the mushroom cloud... No winners in war apart from the arms sales people. We sit by and let this go on in 2024 really people solve it with a game of chess, no death no destruction no starvation no billion dollar arms industry....... We have learnt nothing
Just checking out her albums. Breaking Glass is just amazing and I’m getting into some of the others. Very charismatic & underrated; it seems the industry and music media did her down🙁
met her at reading festival years ago i was on security asked her to marry me she kissed me on the cheek then told me to fuck off she did buy me a pint in the backstage bar later
Unfortunately Hazel O'Connor never had any real success in Australia. Breaking Glass was a great album and movie that should have launched her in Australia.
When I see Hazel O'Connor I'm reminded of a TV interview she did on Wogan many years after this (she'd grown her hair long and looked very pretty) in which she brought up a trip she took to Lebanon, that she had to cut short because Israel started bombing the place, which basically pissed her off - OK then. So when I see her that's what I'm initially reminded of...Maybe I just don't like musical artists being political, concentrate on the music.
Just brilliant. Hazel is raw talent. Edgy and daring pop music. Love it.
This was one of Hazel's best song ever 😊
I was 16. She was fantastic. It was such an exciting time to be young. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could.
80s was a great time to be a teenager...
I genuinely love women who go out of their way to just be themselves. She has such an amazing energy and look to her.
Go out of their way just to be themselves? Isn't just being yourself, um, on your way?
This record never gets old for me , also wishing hazel a speedy recovery, sending love ❤
Takes me back...this was the first single I stole from Woolworths.
Lmao. Brilliant.
Didn't you have the 50p? 🤣
Not all heroes wear capes 😂
fantastic !!
this recording artiste was ahead of her time even for the 80's era.
What a bundle of energy that woman is.
I heard this on the radio the other day for the first time since it was released. Absolutely brilliant. The good old days.
What a song ! Loved Hazel !!!!
My favourite hazel song ...
This made me smile. Hazel is brill
Just showing my sons the lady whose film I was in many years ago....ok I was an 'extra' ....

Bring back those decadent days in 1981
Class, a legend

I followed the cover plus tour around England when I was 17 years old
A song that sums up the eighties before we knew what the eighties would turn out like!
Still as awesome as ever, saw here a few days ago at Minehead

the best of her sax free songs
Brilliant song, I used to dress similar in my punky days

She was fantastic as a performer and writer

Coventry's own Hazel O'Connor with a Classic that is apparently about New Romanticism!.
rewind 2015 what a showgirl had me jumping in my wellies
Audience (both of them), "What time's the show?" Hazel, "What time can you make it?"
Love, love and Love
Ahh those blue eyes..... ❤️
Great song & video. With the bonus of Adam at the end
Gah! When time were far more simple, and happier
brilliant.
💛
She was right x
Punk at its best
Classic...put on ya face...put on ya clothes ...these were the days..!!
Tune
Fin de siecle in The Grand New Brighton
Bowie's female alter-ego!
think youll find that her expression fits the theme of the song....
Have you still the clip of Toyah before this one????
its a matter of opnion
She wasn't wrong
I remember 1981, it was not decadent.
met her at reading festival years ago i was on security asked her to marry me she kissed me on the cheek then told me to fuck off she did buy me a pint in the backstage bar later
Wacky---Zany !! Hey, you cut off Adam at the end ! X(

Another great but badly managed talent...
To think Duran Duran was her opening act back in the day.... another one lost in time was Fad Gadget..
