Re: Music Quiz Question
Some of these are a bit dubious to say the least (Little Boots )!
... and on that basis, I'm going to claim Queen for Norfolk, on the basis that Roger Taylor is from Kings Lynn
Failing that... maybe Mylene Klass or Beth Orton?

Re: Music Quiz Question
Going out on a tangent here, but:-
Suffolk - Benjamin britten - Aldeburgh. Put the place on the map.
Gloucestershire - Ralph Vaughan Williams. Also excellent.
Both fun to sing.
Lincolnshire ought to be William Byrd. I guess he is the most famous musician to come from the place, but whether he's sold many records is another thing as he's pretty boring. Taverner ( not the Bristol City one) more likely.

Could not agree more. Saw Roxy in Manchester in September as part of 50th anniversary tour. They were even better than I remember them back in their halcyon daysgawthorpe_view wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 8:27 amPrefab Sprout bigger than Roxy Music according to above?

For Durham that would only be Bryan Ferry. Although he would be worth considering in his own right.Down_Rover wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 2:55 pmCould not agree more.

Re: Music Quiz Question
I've cheated and found the map. East Riding/Lincolnshire is very difficult.

That's the one I saw too. Would be flabbergasted if anyone guessed Nicola Roberts. Girls Aloud, Scouser/wool, has the accent. But born in Lincolnshire.
