Career
She moved to London in the early 1980s and found work as a session singer for Stock, Aitken and Waterman Records, before embarking on a solo career, recording her debut album with Fred Maher in 1992, To Hell With Love, which was released the following year. For some time in the early 1990s, she was romantically involved with the actor Craig Charles. During this period, she appeared in an episode of cult sci-fi TV series Red Dwarf (Season 4, Episode 1: "Camille"), in which Charles starred. In 1992, she released a solo album, To Hell With Love, for which Charles co-wrote some of the songs and provided backing vocals. The company distributing the album, Imago, ceased trading shortly after its release, interrupting her career. The album was produced by Fred Maher, who also played percussion, and the backing band included Matthew Sweet (bass), Robert Quine (guitar), Bernie Worrell (keyboards), Matt Backer (guitar), and Drew Vogelman (drums), among others.
Rhatigan
She re-emerged in 1995 with the punk pop trio Rhatigan, featuring John Morrison (who also played in Hefner on bass guitar) and Brynn Burrows (later replaced by Sean Murphy) on drums. The band had a four-year residency at London's 12 Bar Club on Denmark Street, and Suzanne Rhatigan's night attracted many small bands early in their development, such as The Kings Of Convenience, The Clientele, Hefner, and Turin Brakes. The band released two albums and a handful of singles/EPs during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
In 2012, their song "Me" was covered by former collaborator Antony Harding for the Audio Antihero charity album "Some.Alternate.Universe. for FSID".
